I  must say that I have been reading and following current trends in nursing practice and The Future of Nursing in an Evolving Health Care System, But still have a long way to go and will like to become more familiar with this topic as it is the basis of nursing practice today.

After reviewing the course objectives for each Topic, I found that I have decent knowledge of most of the topics that we will be discussing each week. I plan to learn every subject covered in this course to the best of my ability, and hear experiences, opinions, and point of views from my classmates. No questions or concerns at this time.

One of the weekly objectives that I had prior knowledge about was The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity” report on the nursing profession. However, I had minimum knowledge on the role of state based coalitions in advancing the goals of “The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity,” report for nursing. I would also like to discuss how nursing advocates overcome barriers to advancement.

1. I am familiar with the shift of health care and how we now focus on wellness and prevention. I also have some experience of working in an interprofessional manner to reduce errors in care delivery and to improve patient outcomes. I have some experience working with legislators on improving nurses working conditions and safety as I have done some advocacy work with our state Emergency Nurse Association chapter.

2. I am unfamiliar with any nurses that currently hold any political positions, but I really hope that there are and to learn about them. I also do not have a lot of experiences dealing with DNPs or PhD, so I am unfamiliar with the differences.

3. I do not have any concerns regarding this course, but I am looking forward to hearing about my classmates’ experiences with these topics. I feel like each department or job may lead to different insights into the current health care system and how it affects our profession.

Hello. I do not know anything related to the state action coalition. I find this topic interesting. I know some current trends in nursing practice and how nurses have become more integrated into public health and prehospital medicine. I would like to understand and review student opinions about advanced practice nursing online education. Specifically, nurse practitioner education and the current lack of clinical practice and patient contact for these students. I believe that without extensive work experience, NP should not be allowed to practice. That is just my opinion.
