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.

Download or read book Work Experience Program written by Krista McCullough and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When entering the nursing profession, a new registered nurse graduate faces many challenges including caring for patients with high acuity, nursing shortages, reduced orientation times, and high registered nurse turnover rates. A registered nurse graduate may experience reality shock when confronted with these challenges. There is a need for innovative programs to prepare the nursing students for transitioning from the role of nursing student to registered nurse. In addition, there are many changes in the healthcare delivery system which pose a challenge to hospitals. Forecasts predict that the shortage of registered nurses in the United States will grow between 2009 and 2030. Healthcare facilities need to become creative in their recruitment and retention efforts. This project explores clinical reasoning, role transition, interdisciplinary communication, and staff retention of nursing students who participate in 60 to 120 hours of a work experience program as a student nurse extern during their summer session. The work experience program is an opportunity that benefits both the nursing student and clinical agency. During this experience the nursing student enhances their technical and clinical reasoning skills while working with an experienced registered nurse. The clinical agency has the opportunity to work with potential candidates prior to hiring the registered nurse graduate. The work experience program allows nursing students to apply the clinical reasoning, interpersonal and technical skills they learn in the classroom and in clinical prior to entering the workforce.
