Book Description
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.

Book Description
In an era of constant change, continuing education is intended to help nurses to stay abreast of technological and informational changes. The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of the participation of Illinois registered nurses in continuing education. Descriptive research methodology was employed to examine beliefs and practices regarding continuing education for nurses. Data were collected from 694 registered nurses in 32 hospitals from 29 counties in Illinois. A statistically significant relationship existed between the respondents' incentives for participation in continuing education and their: (1) region; and (2) educational attainment. A statistically significant relationship also existed between the respondents and their perceptions regarding participation in continuing education topics of interest and their: (1) years of licensure as a registered nurse; (2) size of the hospital where the nurse was employed; and (3) primary area of practice.
