Healthcare systems and the way safe, quality health care is delivered are continually changing to better serve patients and communities. Professional nursing practice is a large component in the healthcare system today. Back in the 1960s, professional nursing leaders tried to adopt the bachelor degree programs as the only educational track to become a registered nurse (Creasia & Friberg, 2011). Due to nursing shortages and demands this motive did not hold fast. Individuals entering the nursing profession today must first decide which educational pathway to take to become a Registered Nurse (RN).

Nursing satisfaction has criteria for change; as documented in the Future of Nursing’s report, by the Institute of Medicine in cooperation with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations’, Campaign for Action. (IOM, 2010) (RWFF, 2010) Both reports lay the groundwork that influences NC current nursing shortage. At the same time; to make health care more affordable, the Affordable Care Act was entered into law (ACA, 2010). Additionally, hospitals and other health care facilities are applying for, and meeting criteria for accreditation and is very clear about implementing a mandatory, entry level, BSN

create an academic culture that helps both students and teachers thrive and grow. The faculty’s mission is to educate nurses through empowerment and broaden the availability of diverse health care professionals.

The first Framework is care coordination which is a daily practice that is based on assessment of the student and family needs. This Framework is focus on communication to make sure that students whether they have a special care need or not, get the best care in school by using different areas such as, case management, chronic disease management, collaborative communication, direct care, education, interdisciplinary teams, motivational interviewing/counseling, nursing delegation, student care plans, student-centered care, student self-empowerment, and transition planning. The second Framework is leadership, which is a mind-set, not a formal position but is a standard of professional performance for school nursing practice (NASN, 2016). Therefore, as leaders school nurses can be advocates, change agents, education reform, funding and reimbursement specialist, healthcare reform, lifelong learner, models of practice, technologists, policy development and implementation, professionalism, and systems-level leadership. The third Framework is quality improvement which is a continuous and systematic process that leads to measurable improvements and outcomes and is an integral part of current standards of practice (NASN, 2016). School nurses can help with continuous quality improvement, documentation/data collection, evaluation, meaningful health/academic outcomes, performance appraisal, research, and uniform data set. The fourth Framework is community/public health that is grounded in school nursing and is consistent with the core functions of public health. This Framework helps school nurses recognize how they can include community/public health in their specialty practice of school nursing (NASN, 2016). Some things that the school nurse do to help the students are access to care, cultural competency, disease prevention, environmental health,

The nation has a growing concern for the shortage of skilled nurses in the United States. The growing need of qualified nursing professionals reflects the growth of the aging population. As the retirement of healthcare professionals increase the need for replacement isn’t moving at the same rate. The nursing shortage places demand on nurses to work long hours, multiple jobs and overtime, which places them at risk for nursing errors. There are many incentives that show the increasing need for nursing professional. There are many different scholarships, grants and tuition reimbursement programs being awarded to produce more nursing professionals. The nursing shortage has led to a nursing crisis in most states. In the following research I will discuss some key factors about of nursing shortage, some factors that have an impact of the shortage in the nursing profession, and some economic issues. I will discuss different legislative acts and what was concluded from my research.

As a nurse administrator, I have a distinct role to play in the healthcare sector. Preparation for this position commences at the graduate level; either masters or doctoral level. Prospective students at graduate level are expected to indicate a variety of roles across healthcare sector as stipulated in the legislative law. Factors such as the nature of the organization and its system of leadership provide credible knowledge that is critical for nursing management roles. As opposed to Gerontology Nurse Practitioners who are expected to have a wide array of technical and hands-on skills

The Stakeholders are divided into five group led by volunteers, who are experts in these cause and the executive committee at Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative. The five stakeholder groups consist of:

Since the passing of the 2010, Health Care Legislation Laws, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, were instilled to increase the percentages of Americans having quality, affordable health care insurance coverage and making colleges more affordable and accessible to them. The Institute of Medicine developed a study to see how the nursing profession can be improved and to contribute to build a health care system that

214) “The ACA and the need for APRNs, nurse faculty, and nurse researchers would have increased dramatically under any scenario.” (L R Cronenwett [RWJF Iniative on the Future of Nursing], 2010, table 1). “Not only must schools of nursing build their capacity to prepare more students. Nursing need to focus on fundamental improvements in the delivery of nursing care to improve patient safety and quality is key.” (IOM, 2010, p. 208)

Nursing shortages have been an issue in the health care field for a few years now. This shortage is seriously impacting nursing homes and the elderly in our society today. With a shortage of 8.1% of nurses in 2008, it is important to understand what is happening to nurses (Addressing the Nursing Shortage, 2010). To help one understand the nurse shortage more, this paper will discuss resource scarcity, stakeholders, economic flows, changes in supply and demand, pricing decisions, along with a business proposal. The business proposal will discuss where the market has a shortage of providers, list of services the firm will provide, explanations of set prices, and who will be hired and how much one will be

The frequency and consistency of communications will be taken into consideration, while utilizing a variety of communication techniques to convey this vision to stakeholders, redefining/modifying the communication to reflect organizational culture, and departmental micro-culture. The strategy to overcome these barriers will employ the integrative approach to further tackle the dissemination of information, and this strategy will engage all stakeholders at every level of the organization. A project team will be formulated that will comprise of volunteer team members from all key departments, from the administrative team down to the end users. The functions of the project team will include actively engaging all team members and reporting back to the implementation team with recommendations, or concerns, and working in tandem to create a common goal for the project and to further necessary alliance with key physician who will serve as the project champion; this will allow the project team to control the flow communication, and gain valuable

In 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law by the United States government and is the largest health care reform since Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. With this new legislation, there will be a huge transformation of the health care system we know today. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is an organization that is independent of government and provides unbiased advice used in making informed legislative decisions about health care. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the largest philanthropy in the United States, collaborated with the IOM to evaluate and transform the nursing profession in order to provide

Academic nurse educators engage in a number of roles and functions, each of which reflects the core competencies of nursing faculty. Those competencies include the following: 1) facilitate learning, 2) facilitate learner development and socialization, 3) use assessment and evaluation strategies, 4) participate in curriculum design and evaluation of program outcomes, 5) function as a change agent and leader, 6) pursue continuous quality improvement in the nurse educator role, 7) engage in scholarship, and 8) function within the educational environment
