Book Description
An increasing number of registered nurses and other health care providers are entering upper division academic nursing programs to obtain the baccalaureate nursing degree. A path analytic model was developed to examine the interrelationships of multiple roles and focal role commitments, previous education, work experience, and role conflicts perceived by reentry adult students, and the influence of professional support in the subsequent transition to the professional role. Group differences between Registered Nurses (RNs) and military corpsmen were also investigated for the variables of importance. A sample of 206 RNs and 37 U.S. Navy corpsmen (from a current population of 96) enrolled in generic baccalaureate nursing programs throughout the country responded to a self-report instrument protocol comprised of the Grendell Intrarole Conflict Inventory, the Goldberger Professional Support Scale, the Pieta Role Conceptions Scale, and a demographic information sheet. Data were analyzed by multiple regression procedures to determine validity of the model. Predictor variables of multiple roles, work role, professional support, and role conflict explained 4% of the variance in professional role transition, 4% in role conflict, and 3% in professional support. The strongest predictor for professional role conception discrepancy was role conflict. The strongest predictor for service role conception discrepancy was the work role. Multiple role occupancy was the strongest predictor of role conflict. Multiple role occupancy and work role had a salient effect on professional support. Due to the relatively small sample of military students, a comparison group, matched by age and gender, was selected from the larger group of RNs. Analysis of variance techniques were used for testing the hypotheses of group differences. Although the groups did not differ on professional role transition, differences were found in levels of education and current work hours, thus indicating that the RN group had more years of education and continued to work more hours while attending classes. Role conflict scores for the RN group were also higher. Results of the current study suggested a revised model for future testing. The similarities found among the two groups may provide the basis for identifying and refining study variables.

The Future of Nursing

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.
The Perception of Student Nurses' Progress Towards Practice Readiness in a Revised Baccalaureate Nursing Program

Book Description
"The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the perception of prelicensure senior-level undergraduate nursing students' progress towards readiness for professional practice in a revised curriculum within a two-year baccalaureate nursing program in the northeastern United States. A convenience sample of 64 senior-level traditional and accelerated baccalaureate nursing students responded to a modified version of the Casey Fink Readiness for Practice Survey (CFRPS). Overall, participants reported a high level of confidence in feeling prepared for the professional role. Three areas of weakness in which they felt did not help them prepare for the role was simulation, writing reflective journals, and care of dying patients. Most of the 19 items on the CFRPS correlated significantly with the outcome variable of item #20, "I feel ready for the professional nursing role" using bivariate analysis correlation coefficients. Three items found not statistically associated with practice readiness were communication with diverse patient populations, documenting in the electronic medical record, and ethical issues. The three skills/procedures that senior-level students reported as the least confident in performing were responding to a CODE, blood draw/venipuncture, and intravenous (IV) starts. Comparisons were analyzed using ANOVA between the three types of BSN programs and practice readiness resulting in no associated difference. This research may support course and clinical redesign for nursing program improvement in student learning and begin a foundation towards benchmarks on practice readiness in nursing education"--Author's abstract.
