Book Description
Over the last two decades, providers of continuing education for professionals have debated how best to serve their constituents. At the same time, all knowledge forms have expanded and with it the need for more effective continuing education. This study assessed The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing as a vehicle for providing both theoretical and practical knowledge to nurse educators. Articles appearing over 11 years were examined to determine the type of knowledge presented, the author's place of employment, and whether the journal's stated objectives had been fulfilled. Several learning models have appeared in the literature over the years that link the process of knowing-how, or practical knowledge, and knowing-that, or theoretical knowledge. Both forms are necessary in nursing. In 1984, Benner published From novice to expert: Excellence and power in clinical nursing practice which describes the clinical phases through which nurses progress to achieve an expert level. Combining practical-type knowledge, using Benner's framework, and theoretical knowledge, a conceptual framework was developed to determine what types of articles were being published. The primary question asked, does The Journal provide the knowledge necessary for nurse educators to facilitate nurses' progression from novice to expert? The research indicated that such knowledge was provided through the journal's feature articles. This allows nurse educators to plan continuing education to meet the needs of nurses at the various levels of novice to expert. The study methodology was a 12-step content analysis. The process included such activities as identifying associated coding schemes and criteria, collecting and analyzing the messages, and interpretation to obtain distinct themes. A new model for developing continuing education to assist nurse educators plan programs tailored to the needs of nurses at various career levels is presented. It also provides a framework for analyzing nursing journals utilizing both theoretical and practical knowledge-types. This study provides new knowledge regarding the delivery of continuing education programs to nurses. It also was the first attempt to analyze a nursing journal using Benner's descriptions of nursing clinical levels.

Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions
Author: Institute of MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309140781
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Today in the United States, the professional health workforce is not consistently prepared to provide high quality health care and assure patient safety, even as the nation spends more per capita on health care than any other country. The absence of a comprehensive and well-integrated system of continuing education (CE) in the health professions is an important contributing factor to knowledge and performance deficiencies at the individual and system levels. To be most effective, health professionals at every stage of their careers must continue learning about advances in research and treatment in their fields (and related fields) in order to obtain and maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills in caring for their patients. Many health professionals regularly undertake a variety of efforts to stay up to date, but on a larger scale, the nation's approach to CE for health professionals fails to support the professions in their efforts to achieve and maintain proficiency. Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions illustrates a vision for a better system through a comprehensive approach of continuing professional development, and posits a framework upon which to develop a new, more effective system. The book also offers principles to guide the creation of a national continuing education institute.

The Future of Nursing
Author: Institute of MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309208955
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 700
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.
