Looking back Nearly 10 years ago the Institute of Medicine now NAM published the landmark report, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which included recommendations designed to improve access to high-quality patient care and build a healthier America through nursing.
Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression. Nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health professionals, in redesigning healthcare in the United States. Effective workforce planning and policy-making require better data collection and an improved information infrastructure.
Double the number of nurses with a doctorate by The number of employed U. Another factor that will intensify the nursing shortage is an aging population. As the baby boomer generation grows older and requires more care, their demand for RNs will increase. As a result, there has never been a better time to pursue a career in nursing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects nursing job growth of 12 percent through —much faster than the average occupation.
There are nearly , nurse practitioners licensed in the US, providing essential care to a country experiencing a shortage of physicians.
As with nurses, doctors are in short supply in the US, and an increase in family nurse practitioners who are licensed to practice with full autonomy could help meet that demand for primary care physicians. By , the US could see a physician shortage of nearly , —a deficit that will be felt by Americans everywhere. But physicians assistants and nurse practitioners NPs will likely play a significant role in alleviating that problem.
Job growth in the NP sector is predicted to explode between now and , it is projected to grow 26 percent. Not too long ago, being a nurse with a two-year degree was more than enough to guarantee a job as an RN, complete with fair pay and good benefits.
In some states—like New York —it will be mandatory to earn a BSN within ten years of becoming a licensed nurse. Registered nurses without a BSN may consider going back to school, perhaps choosing an online program along the way. With so many excellent universities offering quality nursing programs, online learning is an attractive way for working professionals with busy schedules to earn a degree.
The report conducted by the IMO called for more nurses to complete a BSN, but it also encouraged more nurses to pursue a graduate degree, and especially doctoral degrees. This has led to a nursing faculty shortage , forcing some schools to turn away qualified nursing students for lack of teachers.
In a study conducted by the American Association of College and Nursing AACN , over 75, nursing school applicants were turned away due to lack of faculty. And just like the nurse and doctor shortage, the faculty shortage is also expected to continue for many of the same reasons. A wave of aging professors are expected to retire over the next ten years, roughly equal to one-third of the entire nursing faculty of Talented caregivers with a penchant for teaching would be ideal candidates to earn doctorate degrees so that future nurses can learn from their expertise.
The future of nursing might include a bit more diversity in gender. In the s, men made up only two percent of nurses in the US. America is steadily aging. How will all this shape the future of nursing? Experts anticipate that we will see a significant increase in the demand for caregivers with a speciality in geriatrics, and that could be a problem because fewer than one percent of RNs are registered in geriatrics according to the National Academy of Medicine Initiative.
