The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health
How to Teach
Guide students in integrating knowledge from clinical, social, and behavioral sciences with the practice of nursing to enhance development of clinical reasoning skills (Cronenwett, Dracup, Tanner, Tilden)
Enhance opportunities for interprofessional education (Cronenwett, Dracup, Gilliss, Tilden, Tanner)
Evaluate and test models of interprofessional education, including timing, determination of what levels of students should learn together, and what content is most effectively delivered with interprofessional learners (Tilden)
Develop and test new approaches to pre-licensure clinical education, including use of simulation (Dracup, Tanner)
Involve students in interprofessional quality improvement projects (Berwick, Gilliss, Cronenwett)
Develop model pre-licensure curricula that incorporate best practices in teaching and learning and can be used as a framework for community college–university partnerships (Tanner)
Where to Teach
In baccalaureate and higher degree programs (Aiken, Cronenwett, Dracup, Gilliss, Tanner, Tilden)
Significantly increase the number and proportion of new registered nurses who graduate from basic pre-licensure education with a baccalaureate or higher degree in nursing (Aiken, Cronenwett)
Require the BSN for entry into practice (Dracup, Tilden)
Support community college/university partnerships that increase the number of associate degree graduates that complete the baccalaureate degree (Dracup, Tanner)
Allow community colleges to provide baccalaureate degrees (Dracup)
In post-graduate residency programs
Develop and test clinical education models that include post-graduate residency programs (Tanner)
Implement requirement of post-graduate residency for initial relicensure (Cronenwett, Tanner)
In health care settings that foster day-to-day change and improvement (Berwick)
In programs built on strong academic–practice setting partnerships (Cronenwett, Gilliss)
At Academic Health Centers, promote governance structures that combine the strategic, rather than operational, oversight for nursing (Gilliss)
