Question

Compare the future roles for nurses with master’s degrees versus those for nurses with baccalaureate degrees only.

Answer 1

new roles for nurses outside of an acute hospital setting. I think the use of technology will become more ubiquitous, and hopefully there will be more nurses involved in research as the all-graduate workforce starts moving into the profession.
Hamer: The future for clinical research nursing is really exciting. We are continuing to grow the number of studies and opportunities for patients to engage in research. The variety of work makes it attractive to a diverse range of nurses who we are able to grow and develop.
Davies: Our population will continue to get older, and people will require skilled, dedicated professionals to meet their health needs. Nursing will have a key role in promoting health and keeping people well as well as supporting them during times of illness. We will be leading teams and working in many different settings, using technologies we currently can’t imagine. Nursing will change again in the next 50 years, but the fundamentals will be the same. And despite all the challenges it will still be a great profession.

Growing future nurse leaders is a long-term quest that requires both planning and action,” authors of the “Growing Nurse Leaders: Their Perspectives on Nursing Leadership and Today’s Practice Environment” study found. “Our emerging leaders will ultimately replace our current leaders and continue the very important work being done to improve nursing practice environments, and most importantly, patient outcomes. Yet succession planning is challenging today in a healthcare environment that is fast paced and constantly changing.
