Nursing Students on the Future of Nursing Report
The INQRI program is pleased to host an impromptu "blogging carnival" featuring the thoughts of several nursing students regarding the Initiative on the Future of Nursing report. Educator Terri Schmitt of Nurse Story, a blog that is full of thoughts on nursing, nurse practitioners, service to others and life in general, requires all of the students in her nursing informatics class to create and maintain blogs. We are so thrilled that so many of her students chose to write about this important report. The committee would be pleased to know that most of these students will be contributing to their recommended increase in the proportion of nurses with BSN degree to 80% by 2020, as almost all of these bloggers are in an RN to BSN program.

This is a fantastic idea, and great to see a tool like a blog carnival used to discuss nurses responses to a health care related report. These types of transitional ideas are the foundations that legitimate the use of social media for professional nursing purposes. Often I struggle to work with nurses to see how a blog post or facebook page is useful. The message I try to continue to share is thinking about how nurses can use the same tools to share their work, experience and ideas not to replicate how others use the technology.
ReplyDeleteAgain great idea!
