Two weeks ago, we hosted the first of our webinar series related to the recommendations made in the IOM's Initiative on the Future of Nursing committee's report: "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health." The presentation, "Developing and Sustaining the Professional Nursing Organization Through New Graduate RN Transition-to-Practice", focused on the third recommendation made in the IOM's report that addresses the implementation of nurse residency programs. Charles Krozek, and his colleagues at Versant Holdings, LLC., presented a fascinating webinar detailing the experience of Versant in implementing nurse residency programs.
For all of those who were unable to attend, or for those of you that joined us and wish to view the webinar again, you may now access the recorded webinar here.
Please join us next week for our second webinar in this series that will be addressing the fourth reccomendation made by the IOM committee focused on increasing the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020. The webinar will be led by Maja Djukic, PhD, RN, Assistant Professor at New York University's School of Nursing, and will discuss the differences in qualtiy improvement participation by Associate and Bachelor degree graduates.

New York State Initiative to Educate The Nursing Workforce: "BSN in 10"
A few weeks ago, we reported on the proposed legislation in the New York State Senate that would require Registered Nurses to obtain a BSN within 10 years of initial employment. Following up on this post, we are sharing another article with you that discussed the significance and challenges associated with this legislation. Christine Loman, of the The Evening Tribune, discussed the importance of nurses with associates degrees obtaining their BSNs and how this will be beneficial to not only the nurses themselves, but the patients they care for. This proposed legislation addresses the fourth recommendation in the IOM's Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report that proposed an increase in the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020.

We hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday season!
Last week, The Washington Post reported on a new bill being considered by the New York State Senate that will require all registerd nurses to obtain bachelor’s degrees within 10 years in order to keep working in the state. This intiative, “BSN in 10”, is supported by major nursing and health policy organizations across the country. The proposed legislation also directly addresses recommendation #4 made in the IOM's Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report.
