On the base with a couple of nursing leaders to get their take on some of the top issues that are in store for the profession, like :
1. Ethic.
2. Nurses in the Boardroom.
3. Building a 'Culture of Health'.

4. Growing Momentum for Nurse Education.

5. More Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The Institute of Medicine's goal of

having at least 80% of the nursing
workforce hold bachelor's degrees by
the year 2020 is not only familiar, it's
possibly out of reach, unless the
percentages start rising more quickly.

One way to increase

momentum toward the
goal of higher education
levels for nurses is to
start building a strong
business case for it, and
a study released in
October aimed to do just
that.

Researchers estimate that increasing the proportion of BSN-prepared nurses caring for each
patient to 80% or more would reduce annual readmissions by roughly 248 days, reducing
costs by more than $5.6 million annually.

 "The business case for at least 80%

of all nurses having a BSN by
2020, as the Future of Nursing
IOM report recommends, is solid,"
Hassmiller says, pointing to that
study.

"That case is even stronger once other factors are

considered: the crushing faculty shortage; the
need for many more primary care nurse
practitioners; and the growth in communitybased care, driven by consumers' preferences
and the Affordable Care Act.
