There are many trends affecting the way nurse education is impacted with the issues surrounding the IOM report. Some of the issues include rapid expansion of technology informatics used in workplace, shortage of nursing faculty, changes in demographics of society, complex health and mental health diseases, and the use of more evidence based practice which increases nurses role as an active participant in complex health care decisions.

(*******). This study supports the recommendations of the IOM report that the nursing role needs some restructuring. In particular, this research study highlighted that the time spent with patients is very important to patient safety, reducing errors, and improving outcomes.
