Three-year nursing PhD curricula content among schools participating in the Future of Nursing Scholars Program
The past decade has seen a proliferation of nursing graduate programs to meet the Institute of Medicine's, now the National Academy of Medicine, call to increase the number of doctoral prepared nurses (Institute of Medicine, 2011). This call remains salient today with a renewed emphasis to produce more PhD prepared nurses, as outlined in the National Academy of Medicine's recent report, The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicin e, 2021).

Calling all nurses —Now is the time to take action on improving the quality of care in nursing homes
Solutions to the decades old problems of quality care delivered in nursing homes (NH) are once again illuminated in the recently released National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) report “The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality: Honoring our Commitment to Residents, Families and Staff” (2022). The Committee on the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes (hereafter referred to as the Committee) began its work on this report in Fall 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pande mic, which catapulted NHs into a state of crisis and brought national attention to struggling facilities through a myri...

The impact of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholars Program on scholars, schools and nursing science
Building the capacity of the nursing workforce to meet the health needs of the United States ’ population has long been a priority of federal agencies, health systems, philanthropy, and academic and clinical stakeholders, especially over the past four decades. Increasing workforce capacity remains an omnipresent concern given the loss of over 100,000 nurses from the clinical labor market in the last year alone and the continued loss of nursing faculty (Buerhaus, Staiger, Auerbach, Yates,& Donelan, 2022; National Academies of Sciences, 2021).

An exploration of language: How nurses describe social factors that contribute to health
Social contributors to health are well-documented and influence population health outcomes more than biological factors and the health care that is provided (RWJF, 2016). The role of nurses in addressing social contributors to and consequences of health and diseases has been at the core of the nursing profession since its’ inception. Early writings of Florence Nightingale in 1859 highlighted the inextricable relationship between health and the environment during the Crimean War and Lillian Wald led social reforms through innovative models of care to improve conditions for immigrants in New York City in the early 1900s ...

The end? Or a new beginning? Perspectives on lessons learned from the future of nursing scholars program and the preparation of PhD nurse scholars
The articles in this special issue provide a comprehensive summary of accomplishments, lessons learned, and hopes for the future that are based on the Robert Wood Johnsons Foundation's (RWJF) Futures of Nursing Scholars (FNS) program. While these articles come at the end of a significant multi-year $25 million dollar investment, the impact of the program on individual scholars, faculty, and institutions will be long-lasting. The program certainly didn't address all issues confronting nurses and doctoral education, nor did it fully address decades of debate on substantive and process questions impacting for doctoral educati...

Addressing structural and systemic barriers in nurse Anesthesia programs: Recommendation to eliminate the GRE and adopt holistic admissions
The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) estimates that the majority of the 59,000 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists (CRNA) identify as White Americans, with significant under-representation of African-Americans/Blacks (3%), Hispanics (4%), Asian/Pacific Islanders (4 %), and Native American Indians (0.7%) (American Association of Nurse Anesthetists AANA, 2021). This lack of diversity is even more worrisome among PhD-prepared and pain management fellowship-prepared CRNAs. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholars program: An overview
From 2008 to 2010, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM - now the National Academy of Medicine) Committee on the Future of Nursing hosted informational forums across the country, met with nurses and other health care leaders, and reviewed submitted research briefs to prepare their report, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” (Institute of Medicine, 2010). The report included a series of recommendations under six main foci: (a) improving access to care, (b) fostering interprofessional collaboration, (c) promoting nursing leadership, (d) transforming nursing ...

The newly-licensed registered nurse workforce: Looking back to move forward
Newly-licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) are an indispensable health human resource necessary for the sustainability of the nursing workforce (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2021). Significant amounts of research in the last 40 years demonstrates the challenges associated with the transition of NLRNs into practice and solutions to these issues (Eckerson, 2018; Reebals et al., 2021; Shatto& Lutz, 2017). A large percentage of NLRNs (35%) vacate positions in the first 2 years of licensure during a critical time of competency attainment, role development, and professional socialization (Shatt...

Utilization of medicare's chronic care management services by primary care providers
Primary care is transforming into team-based care delivery models increasingly dependent on nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) (Barnes et al., 2018; Dai et al., 2019). The NP and PA workforce experienced rapid growth in recent years, exceeding that of physicians (Auerbach et al., 2020; Auerbach et al., 2018). About 70% of family physicians report working with NPs and/or PAs (Dai et al., 2019). Between 2012 and 2016, in-person office visits to NPs and PAs increased by 129%, while visits to physicians decreased by 18% nationally (Frost& Hargraves, 2018). (Source: Nursing Outlook)
