The Future of Nursing: Focus on Education

Nursing is unique in health professionals in the United States as it has multiple educational pathways and entry level licenses. Nursing students can become registered nurses (RN) through three different educational channels: Bachelor of Nursing (BSN), Bachelor of Nursing (ADN) and Nursing Diploma. Recently, the accelerated second degree bachelor 's degree program for students who have a bachelor' s degree in other fields is also a popular choice. These various paths provide many opportunities for women to acquire careers in women and men with economic stability and various backgrounds.

In addition to an increasing number of BSN-trained nurses, nursing universities must build up the ability to train students for graduate students who can play a role in sophisticated practice, leadership, guidance, and research It will not. 13% of nurses have postgraduate degrees, but less than 1% have a doctorate. Nurses with doctoral programs are required to teach future nurses and conduct research that becomes the basis for improving nursing science and practice. The Committee recommends doubling the number of nurses awarding doctorates by 2020.

Since the role of nurses in healthcare systems is expected to continue to expand in the future, the focus is on improving the education and capacity of nurses, and on the interdisciplinary cooperation for improving accessibility, safety and quality of patient care It is in promotion. For example, the latest medical research institute (IOM, 2011) entitled "Future of Nursing: Leading Change and Promoting Health", especially for interdisciplinary education, reduction of barriers to nurse's scope of activity, and nurses We are seeking to improve the level of education. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation says that the overall goal of "preparing future nurses with knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA) necessary to continually improve the quality and safety of medical care" We sponsored the teacher quality education (QSEN) initiative.

In 2006, the Massachusetts State Higher Education Authority (MDHE) and the Massachusetts State nurse held a stakeholder work meeting called "Creativity and Connection: Building a Future Framework for Nursing Education and Practice". From the beginning, a nursing core competence (MDHE, 2010, 2 pages) was developed in response to the goal of forming seamless advancement and development capacity agreement at all levels of nursing education. It helps to create a seamless transition to core primary level care and nursing education, reflecting current experts focused on improving access to healthcare, safety and quality This behavior is not a single thing.

Future nurse: Nursing Core Competence Although not a nursing theory, the document of the future nurse: Nursing Core Competency (Massachusetts State Higher Education Bureau, 2010) is related to the relationship between knowledge base and important concepts in nursing practice doing. The concept of patient, environment, health and care are defined in the context of nursing knowledge and are given in Table 2-19. Personnel affairs are observed in relation to patients within biological, social, and spiritual entities at specific developmental stages. The environment does not have a clear definition of the concept of the environment. However, this assumption includes the idea that nurses create an environment to treat patients.
