Facilities like given by physicians and the society as such along ambulatory surgery centers and retail clinics are serving with personal professional satisfaction. patients outside of the hospital setting, so nurses have job “Today’s issues are tomorrow’s trends” opportunities in more places than in the past. With healthcare moving out into the community, nurses have the opportunity to use their skills in new ways. Data from the RN Trends and issues in Health care policy formation Work Project indicates that more newly licensed nurses are accepting first jobs in ambulatory care, home health and nursing homes.

The Push for Continued Education

Research has shown that lower mortality rates, fewer medication errors, and positive outcomes are all linked to nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate level “To respond to the demands of an evolving health care system and meet the changing needs of patients, nurses must achieve higher levels of education,” the report said.
As the healthcare system continues to change, nurses may
find they need more knowledge to lead effectively. The advent of online nursing degree programs is providing nurses with more access to education than ever before. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the ongoing nursing shortage will require 525,000 replacement nurses in the workforce. This brings the total number of job openings for nurses due to growth and replacements to 1.05 million by 2022 and is causing high-quality institutions with a long history of nursing education to add online offerings.
