Identify and discuss one (1) example of the impact the Future of Nursing report has had on the Advanced Practice Nurse role – Clinician, Educator, Researcher, Administrator, Entrepreneur, Consultant, or Leader
In the 2010 IOM report, multiple ways of transforming the healthcare industry with the help of nurses are explained. This report focuses on all nurses, but the role of advanced practice nurses in particular. In the reforming of the medical industry of the US, nurses should be incorporated as the full partner. There is a significant gap to cover in the field of nursing leadership as most of the nurses who are predicted to retire over the coming five years, as well as several others, are driven into retiring early owing to global epidemic exhaustion. Additionally, Maughan & Bergren (2021) urges the existing leadership to take into account the growing pool of young nurses who may fill leadership positions.
The IOM study proceeds to provide several examples of approaches that may be used to guide as well as educate such ambitious leadership, such as experience-based programs, leadership institutes, or coaching. Although mentorship has evolved over time, it still necessitates a shift in nurses’ self-perceptions and calls for more seasoned nursing staff to start taking a moment to demonstrate to individuals who seem to be fresh and much less seasoned the much more efficient strategies of functioning as an exemplary nurse at the point of care (Shaughnessy et al., 2018).
According to the IOM, using technologies to educate younger nurses will enhance mentoring interaction. The young nurses indicated earlier could feel completely at ease as they move up the ladder with the aid of such a type of mentorship. The belief that it is crucial to get ahead of the evolving medical sector by effectively developing as well as mentoring upcoming nursing leaders runs throughout all.
