Reflection Paper
Recommendation 4: Increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80% by 2020.
According to the IOM report, they wanted to increase the number of nurses with a baccalaureate degree by 80% (American Nurses Association, IOM report, 2010). I knew for myself this would mean for me to go back to school and get a higher level of degree to maintain my status in the nursing professional world. This is why I am presently in school to get my BSN and I am very excited to be able to say I am a part of the BSN nurses. This will allow me to be in competition with other nurses. …show more content…
I would like to go further in my career to either a master’s level in education. I know that the IOM report states that they would like nurses to be able to perform to the highest level of their capabilities and this will help the future of the nursing scope of practice. For me, I am looking to hopefully get a master’s degree in psychiatric nursing and be able to teach our future nurses in my field of Psychiatric Nursing.
Recommendation 6: Ensure that nurses engage in lifelong learning.
This is a requirement that I feel all nurses should be a part of no matter where they are at in their career. Just like the thirty continuing education units all nurses must have when renewing their nursing license, all nurses should always continue to learn and educate themselves on new advanced technologies and information so nurses can stay on top of their game. For me, I planned to continue my education level into a master’s program and continue to learn more about my psychiatric nursing field. How will increasing your level of education affect how you compete in the current job
