Challenges and Opportunities
  • Influence Health Care
  • Promote and encourage a wellness model- not
    merely prepare nurses to work in acute care
    settings.
  • Provide more, as well as more appropriate access
    to care

3
Globalization
  • Protect the title nurse-
  • Build capacity for nurses-
  • Stop the brain drain by recognizing and
    appreciating nursing expertise.
  • Provide appropriate education for nurses- in
    institutions of Higher Education

Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative
care of individuals of all ages, families, groups
and communities, sick or well and in all
settings. Nursing includes the promotion of
health, prevention of illness, and the care of
ill, disabled and dying people. Advocacy,
promotion of a safe environment, research,
participation in shaping health policy and in
patient and health systems management, and
education are also key nursing roles.
5
Economic Impact on Nurses
  • More applications to nursing schools in the
    United States then ever before . . .
  • In the first systematic study of the problems
    faced by nurses globally, Penn State researchers
    have found that the nursing shortage is a
    worldwide phenomenon that is both jeopardizing
    health care and creating stressful working
    conditions for nurses.

6
Global Aging
  • The growing number of older adults increases
    demands on the public health system and on
    medical and social services. Chronic diseases,
    which affect older adults disproportionately,
    contribute to disability, diminish quality of
    life, and increased health- and long-term--care
    costs. Increased life expectancy reflects, in
    part, the success of public health interventions,
    but public health programs must now respond to
    the challenges created by this achievement,
    including the growing burden of chronic
    illnesses, injuries, and disabilities and
    increasing concerns about future caregiving and
    health-care costs. (MMWR)

7
Internationalization
  • Opportunity to have create partnerships between
    countries- no one has the perfect answer to
    nursing practice, together we have a can create
    an evidence based system for education and
    practice.
  • Mentorship and building capacity is key.

8
Nurse Migration
  • Think out of the box-
  • Exchanges between developed and developing
    countries could enrich all nursing practice
  • All nurses need to be paid a living wage and
    respected for the role they play in health care

9
Standardize International Nursing Education?
  • Yes, so that all nurses have the qualifications
    to implement the roles defined in the ICN
    definition of nurse.

10
Diversity
  • Bologna Process
  • Tuning Process-
  • Important initiatives to insure that nursing
    competencies are achieved.
  • Assures the public of good nursing care.
