Our National Day of Dialogue about the nursing education recommendations contained in the Institute of Medicine/Robert Wood Foundation's landmark report is only 1 week away. The discussion will be lively as our panelists engage in dialogue about requirements for educating nurses in the immediate future. This will not be an esoteric discussion, but rather will be focused on the practical issues and strategies needing to be addressed as part of the implementation process associated with the recommendation that 80% of nurses should be prepared at the baccalaureate level in 10 years.
Our panel of experts, including staff nurses, professors, chief nursing officers, and nurses working in health care policy, will all be there to answer the tough questions around this issue. You can participate in the discussion by emailing your questions to futureofnursing@gannetthg.com or through Facebook Nurse (dot) com or Twitter@Nurse_com. I encourage you to jump into the discussion and participate in this very important National Day of Dialogue!
