Vision for the Future of Nursing
When exploring the vision for the future of nursing, pause to reflect on your ‘why.’ Doing so will allow an opportunity to revisit your purpose. It is important to think of which aspects of nursing we are passionate about in order to discuss how to make an impact on specific patient populations. The art of Nursing is the way in which the profession becomes manifest in the pragmatic care. Nurses need to attend to the patients’ needs in a manner that depicts a good level of academic excellence.
In 2010 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and Robert Woods Johnson Foundation (RWJF) published a report indicating recommendations that could help better nursing as a profession. Some of these primary issues addressed in the IOM report state that the nurse should practice to full potentiality and to the level of their training and education. It is important for nurses to attain higher levels of training and various education via the upgraded education forums that tends to promote academic advancement. Therefore, improving the education system is imperative in ensuring that the delivery of health care will be safe, quality, patient-oriented, and touched in all areas more so on the issue of primary care and overall public health. The main purpose is to make sure that all Americans can access much-needed health care services. To ensure that these objectives have been met, nurses need to be at the forefront in contributing and ensuring the maximization of all opportunities that can guarantee better health care to the citizens (Dobbins, 2016), Nurses are required to fully partner with physicians and other health professionals that reside in the United States. It is clear that not all nurses start their profession with the intention of being a leader (Dobbins, 2016). However, the strongest leaders are needed to transform the US health care system. The transformation will ensure that the nurses can adapt and take new roles in the new setting hence the need to incorporate leaders with indispensable characteristics.
