Book excerpt: A complete overhaul of nursing education has been commanded due to concerns regarding the proficiency of novice nurses and the clinical care they provide in today's increasingly complex health care environment. Novice nurses are struggling to utilize effective critical thinking skills in order to practice at minimal competency levels. Delivering nursing education using a concept-based curriculum may provide the opportunity to prepare novice nurses to practice in a twenty-first century health care environment. However, limited literature exists examining the outcomes of a concept based curriculum. The purpose of this study was to evaluate critical thinking scores, National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) pass rate prediction scores, and NCLEX-RN pass rates in associate degree nursing (ADN) students completing a concept-based curriculum. The theoretical framework for this study was founded on the experiential learning theory, which postulates students learn through experience, reflection, and by actively participating in the learning process. A retrospective, descriptive, correlational design was utilized to evaluate secondary data from a convenience sample of ADN students (N = 258) from one college of nursing, located in a Midwestern state. Data analysis revealed critical thinking program exit score was significantly higher than critical thinking program entry score (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
