Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. 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 Place and Practice in Canadian Nursing History written by Jayne Elliott and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The close association between nurses and hospitals obscures the diversity and complexity of nursing work in other contexts. This collection looks at nurses and nursing in a wide range of settings from the mid-1800s to the 1970s, including indigenous women on the Canadian prairies; First World War nurses posted overseas; outpost nurses in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec; public health nurses in Winnipeg; and religious congregations in nursing education in New Brunswick. The contributors use feminist and historical perspectives to illustrate how place, understood as both social context and geographic setting, shaped nursing identities and practices. Many nurses found place both liberating and constraining � often simultaneously. Paying attention to place also situates these nurses and their work within larger historical themes of nation-building, war, and political change.

Download or read book Nursing Education in a Changing Society written by Mary Q. Innis and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1970-12-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid social change and the advances made in the field of health care have greatly changed the role and function of the nurse in the last fifty years. Nursing is now almost a full-fledged profession. This book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the School of Nursing of the University of Toronto. The field it covers is wide and varied – from care of the sick by the nuns of early Quebec to the development of pre-paid nursing plans, from concepts of "beside nursing" to "delivery health services." There are long looks into the future of nursing education and health care which include descriptions of health science centres, diagnosis by computer, and treatment centres in outer space. The book sketches the history of this pioneer school of nursing, surveys nursing legislation, and examines the rise of the public-health nurse and the nursing assistant. Essays contributed by leading Canadian authorities show a wide range of opinion: one writer wants to see the scope of nursing education enlarged, another thinks it is too broad already. At a time when nursing education is becoming an increasingly controversial subject, this book will be of interest and value to all those in the health field.

Download or read book Queering Baccalaureate Nursing Education in Canada written by Chris Shortall and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbian Bisexual Gay Transgender Intersex and Queer (LBGTIQ, See: Appendix A) health and wellness data is largely ignored in policy domains. One way to redress the deleterious health effects of institutionalized cisgenderism and heterosexism is to train health professionals to be sensitive and knowledgeable about health and wellness issues that are known to greatly affect sexually and gender diverse people (aka: LBGTIQ). Studies have found that there is no standardization of sex and sexuality content in health professional education in North American universities. The present research focuses on the relative inclusion of sexuality and gender diversity health and wellness information in Canadian English language baccalaureate nursing curriculum and curricular policy. This research, informed by documented health and wellness experiences of LBGTIQ people, situated in the academic discipline of Applied Health Services Research, is a unique critical queer theoretical analysis of survey data and policy texts. The data for this research was collected from a nationwide survey of nursing school administrators in 2013, is scaffolded against LBGTIQ health and wellness literature, as well as nursing education policy. Surveys were returned from 17/76 institutions in Canada and the results show that LBGTIQ content in baccalaureate nursing curriculum in Canada is nominal, imperfect, and unregulated at best. Faculty were concerned about their own personal and professional ability to teach in the area of sexuality and gender diversity and less concerned with curricular policy advocacy in the area. After qualitative content analysis was performed on 52 educational policy documents in nursing, there revealed a need for inclusive policy development in the area of LBGTIQ subjectivities. The research found that while Canadian English language baccalaureate nursing curricular policy allows for an expanded notion of gender diversity that may give space to transgender people, queer, intersex, and other nonheteronormative notions of gender identity, it lacks clear position statements in the area of sexuality and gender diversity to be able to achieve inclusion in curriculum. The result is invisibility; haphazard inclusion; ill-defined policy with no directive from the national, provincial/territorial professional organizations. It was noted that the change in licensing exam might have affected the situation during the course of this research. Several recommendations are lobbied towards structuring LBGTIQ health and wellness curricular inclusion at the various levels of policy and pedagogy in baccalaureate nursing curriculum in Canada and a call for the nursing profession to pay attention to the political nature of policy.

Download or read book For Patients of Moderate Means written by David Paul Gagan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1890 and 1910 scientific and technological innovation transformed the custodial Victorian charity hospital for the sick poor into the primary source of effective acute medical care for all members of society. For the next half century hospitals coped with relentlessly escalating demands for accessibility by both medical indigents and a new clientele of patients able and willing to pay for hospitalization. With limited statutory revenues and unpredictable voluntary support, hospitals taxed paying patients through ever-increasing user fees, offering in return privacy, comfort, service, and medical attendance in private and semi-private wards that were more appealing to middle-class patients than the stark and grudging service of the public wards.
Download or read book Medicare s Histories written by Esyllt W. Jones and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicare is arguably Canada’s most valued social program. As federally-supported medicare enters its second half-century, Medicare’s Histories brings together leading social and health historians to reflect on the origins and evolution of medicare and the missed opportunities characterizing its past and present. Embedding medicare in the diverse constituencies that have given it existence and meaning, contributors inquire into the strengths and weaknesses of publicly insured health care and critically examine medicare’s unfinished role in achieving greater health equity for all people in Canada regardless of race, status, gender, class, age, and ability. Fundamental to the stories told in Medicare’s Histories is the essential role played by communities ¬– of activists, critics, health professionals, First Nations, patients, families, and survivors – in driving demands for health reform, in identifying particular omissions and inequities exacerbated or even created by medicare, and in responding to the realities of medicare for those who work in and rely on it. Contributors to this volume show how medicare has been shaped by politics (in the broadest sense of that word), identities, professional organizations, and social movements in Canada and abroad. As COVID lays bare social inequities and the inadequacies of health care delivery and public health, this book shows what was excluded and what was – and is – possible in health care.
