Addressing the Future of Nursing
recommendations
• Increase the proportion of nurses with a
baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020.
• Double the number of nurses with a
doctorate by 2020
• Ensure that nurses engage in lifelong
learning
Providing transitions to higher degrees
Creating partnerships
Academic Progression Models
Embrace diversity through multiple
points of entry
Endorse academic progression options
for all nurses - LPN/LVN Doctorate
Include diverse pathways for advanced
nursing practice
Develop seamless curricular models
Responding to Statewide Education:
National competency models
Oregon Consortium for Nursing
Education
Massachusetts Nurse of the Future
Nursing Core Competencies
Residency models
Improving Transition to practice
Why residency programs?
Newly licensed RNs unprepared for
complexity and acuity; limited
experience, lack of confidence
Residency as recruitment strategy
Improved transition to practice results in
retention; decreased costs; improved
nurse confidence and satisfaction;
quality care
