The Future Of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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.

I purchased this book and found it to be in very nice hardcover condition, but I soon realized I paid too much as it is available fully online for free at[...]
I needed to work with this material for school, but after getting into the topic, I believe it should be read by any nurse. This is the model of the future of nursing that will guide education, healthcare transformation and how a nurse functions at the bedside or desk-side.
It's a MUST HAVE if you care where the profession of Nursing is headed and the challenges that are in our futures. It should be read by every Nursing faculty member, every Nursing student, every Nursing administrator, and every nurse in clinical practice whatever your setting.
This is a report on the possible expansions of the role of the professional registered nurse as health care delivery changes now and in the future. The task force based the majority of their opinions on research studies. Unfortunately most research studies about nurses address the advanced nurse practitioner. There is literally nothing evidence-based about the role of the registered nurse (RN).The most valuable point made is that nurses are linchpins for the health team - able to contact both internal and external providers and form constructive relationships with patients and caregivers. This leadership role will be essential if health systems comply with federal regulations and mandates. .
My book is missing pages. it was new and it is missing pages 374-642.....got a C on my quiz because i did not have the pages to read for my class! YIKES. i do not blame but i also do not know who to contact in regards to this error.
This work is created to influence policy decisions regarding the future of nursing education and practice in the United States. The "Key Messages" point to changes needed to potentiate Registered Nurses' current positions in the fractionated U.S healthcare system. Basically, the work posits that because RNs occupy the space closest to the patient, both physically and influentially, empowering RNs via education and role policy changes should result in positive outcomes for the healthcare system. This work is a primer for leaders in the healthcare industry.
Great summarization of the RWJF and IOM collaboration.Essential resource to help guide the needed reform for nursing.Currently I am using this a guide to my Doctor of Nursing Practice scholarly project
Timely arrival in expected condition. No problems or delays. This book is great for nurses and nurse educators who want to move the professional of nursing forward. Thank you!
