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.

Nurses inspire others through their selfless devotion. Our research on women and work/life blend showed that while nurses take wonderful care of their patients, they sometimes sacrifice their own wellbeing in the process. Nurses spend little time focusing on themselves and the impact they have. And when they do take the rare moment for themselves, they often experience guilt about what they are not doing for others during this time. We hope Inspired Journal, along with its companion book Inspired Nurse (written by Studer Group's own Rich Bluni, RN) will change that mindset. Together, they can help nurses take time to reflect on themselves and the difference they make in others, lives, and remind them to do what they can to take care of themselves. What are you doing to be good to you? Perhaps Inspired Journal can help you answer that question for yourself. And perhaps it can help your colleagues and coworkers answer that question, too.

"Writing well is not the result of luck or innate talent. Writing is a skill you can learn, just as you learned nursing skills such as venipuncture and suctioning. However, nurses often find it challenging to write. After all, as Margaret McClure says in Words of Wisdom From Pivotal Nurse Leaders, "One of nursing's biggest handicaps is that we are in a field where your basic practice requires that you never write in complete sentences" (Houser & Player, 2008, p. 70). This book is designed to help you bridge the gap between incomplete sentences and a published manuscript. The book's contributors include the best and the brightest from publishing today. Many of the contributors have experience as editors of nursing journals, where their role is to decide which articles to accept for publication. These decision-makers share important insights that will enhance the likelihood your manuscript is accepted for publication. You also can draw a wealth of knowledge from the many years of writing experience that the contributors bring to this book. These authors have a long history of success in having their work published; the important tips they share will set you on track to seeing your work in print or online"--

This new edition of Aspen's bestselling book, The Nurse as Executive, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the significant cha nges in nursing management. The nurse executive's role as a member of the executive team is examined, as well as the nurse executive's role in health care issues, such as quality, outcomes, team building, and c ost containment. Organizing the book around the new resource-driven ma nagement model rather than the goal-driven management model makes this book unique and distinguishes it from other management texts.
