Discuss IOM Future of Nursing recommendations

Discussion: IOM Future of Nursing recommendations

In a reflection, explain how you see yourself fitting into the following IOM Future of Nursing recommendations:

1. Recommendation 4: Increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80% by 2020.

2. Recommendation 5: Double the number of nurses with a doctorate by 2020.

3. Recommendation 6: Ensure that nurses engage in lifelong learning.

Identify your options in the job market based on your educational level. (I have Associate degree in nursing (ADN) and this a Bachelor science in nursing program, (BSN) so you can have based it on BSN, because I will be done soon)

1. How will increasing your level of education affect how you compete in the current job market?

2. How will increasing your level of education affect your role in the future of nursing?

IOM Future of Nursing Report
IOM and HMD
The Health and Medicine Division (HMD) is a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies). The National Academies are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions related to science, technology, and medicine. The Academies operate under an 1863 congressional charter to the National Academy of Sciences, signed by President Lincoln. HMD previously was the Institute of Medicine (IOM) program unit of the National Academies. On March 15, 2016, the division was renamed HMD, building on the heritage of the IOM’s work in medicine while emphasizing its increased focus on a wider range of health matters.

IOM Future of Nursing Report
In 2008, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the IOM launched a two-year initiative to assess and transform the nursing profession. In 2010, the IOM released The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health with the purpose of producing a report that would make recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing. ANA was gratified to find that many of the elements and recommendations of the IOM Report on the Future of Nursing were reflected in the ongoing work to advance the nursing profession. ANA and the ANA constituent state nurses’ associations have engaged in a wide range of activities over time that support the evidence-based recommendations of the IOM. (see document below)
