Recommendation 4

IOM future of Nursing lies in the fate of educational platforms laid in the current society. Professionalism is one way of assuring better practices in the future. Therefore, increasing proportion of nurses with baccalaureate degree to 80% by 2020 is one sure means of enhancing nursing practices. Graduates possessing such certificates are believed to comply with the acute demands that are ever in existence (Cherry &Susan 420). This is attained through enhanced competence levels among practitioners, and general availability of professionals who can adequately handle the dynamic needs of the sector. These are the reasons that would see me fit into this future plans. I intend to be counted among the 80% who are expected to acquire baccalaureate degree by 2020. Personally, I see this move as strategic towards an enhancement of nursing practice and professionalism.Health Policy and Advanced Practice Nursing

Recommendation 5

The second reform involves doubling the number of nurses with doctorate degree by 2020, which is a step forward, and is likely to foster quality frameworks within this sector. Today, the policy and regulatory measures lag behind due to inadequate number of doctorate graduates who would easily come up with accurate measures. Graduates possessing doctorate degree are very crucial towards the sustenance of the field, which is exposed to uncertainties (Goudreau, and Mary 56). Therefore, the Future of IOM is assured if success of the number of nurses having doctorate degree is doubled. I aspire to be part of this process in order to boost the level of nursing practice into the public service. For instance, these nurses will become elevated to new levels of service provision, which would see the rise in the number of consultants. The nursing consultancy is likely to be enhanced amidst doubling the population of nurses by 2020. This is the benchmark the future of nursing is best placed. I aim to see this process complete successfully through sensitizing young nurses by engaging vigor and zest towards the full achievement of this goal. This is one fundamental means that would make me fit into this future IOM platform.
