...of Nursing KEMEL ISHMMAEL NRS 430V PROFESSIONAL DYNAMICS GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR CELESTE OTTNEY O3/12/12 The Future of Nursing The IOM report ‘The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health’ provides comprehensive recommendations regarding how the profession of nursing can be improved in the future. The following paper will consider the impact of the IOM report on nursing education, nursing practice and the nurse’s role as a leader. Nursing Education According to the IOM report, the education system should be improved so that the nurses may be able to achieve higher levels of education and training. The report also suggests that the education system should be such that the academic progression of the nurses remains unhindered. The nursing education should provide a better understanding of care management, systems-level change management, quality improvement methods and the reconceptualized roles of nurses in a reformed health care system. From the report, it can be inferred that education system should add a managerial aspect to the education and training of the nurses.

...Interdisciplinary Management Research V QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION Suzana Vlašić1, Smiljana Vale2, Danijela Križman Puhar3 3 smiljanavale@net.hr Financial Manager, Maistra d.d., Croatia, danijela.krizman.puhar@maistra.hr 2 ____________________________________________________________ ____ Abstract Having considered the current situation of the Croatian educational system and the quality of all its individual components, we can’t help but notice that the awareness of the importance of education as a foundation for the growth and development of each country isn’t strong enough. Education quality is becoming increasingly important for those who are involved in it either directly or indirectly, and for those who use its services. Access to education and quality education are to be regarded as mutually dependent and indivisible needs and rights. This is primarily achieved by developing creativity, civic and democratic values, as well as by knowledge, abilities and skills needed for everyday and professional life. Basic education is not sufficient or complete, and therefore should be considered only as a basis for learning that needs to be used all life long. Lifelong learning for all has become one of the pillars of development. Quality management is a part of management aimed at achieving quality goals through planning, monitoring, assuring and improving quality. Involving all members of the organization brings us closer to total quality control (Total Quality Management...

...Running Head: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Professional Development of Nursing Professionals Professional Development of Nursing Professionals Review of the IOM report: The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health The major impact on the nursing side of the question seems to be three fold and the main emphasis is that the future health system will be patient oriented and technologically advanced and therefore the nurses should achieve better education and training and the learning will be lifelong and the academic institutions must provide a seamless academic progression for the nurse. Thus the concept of educating the potential nursing graduates and providing them with modern tools and at the same time including the existing professionals and upgrading them to be more equipped in terms of “care management, quality improvement methods, systems-level change management” seems to be the major motto of the report. (Institute of Medicine (IOM), 2011b) The role of the nurse is seen from a different light, that of a decision maker and major participant in the health process. Major emphasis is paid to the undergraduate nursing education, which now will provide multiple educational pathways. Secondly the directives attempt is to give a greater role to nurses, which means greater responsibility and decision making, and nurses are enjoined to be on an equal partnership with physicians and other personnel...

...professional PrqcticeTETA 1060 – Wider Professional Practice (WPP) Task 1 (a): With reference to wider reading, analyse and evaluate the concept of professionalism and core professional values in the lifelong learning sector. A ‘professional’ is defined by businessdictionary (2013) as: “Person formally certified by a professional body of belonging to a specific profession by virtue of having completed a required course of studies and/or practice. And whose competence can usually be measured against an established set of standards.” Using this definition do teachers in the lifelong learning sector qualify as professionals? Prior to 2007 teachers did not have a professional body. In 2007 the Institute for Learning (IfL) was established and this is now the independent professional body for everybody working in the sector of further education (FE) and skills, with membership then becoming a requirement. The IfL drew up a Code of Professional Practice in 2008, outlining the expected behaviour of members and qualifications which were approved by parliament (IfL 2013). In addition membership confirmed a commitment to continuous professional development (CPD), a commonly recognised element of professional status. In 2009 Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills (QTLS) status became a recognised professional status, followed by awards in 2012 and recognised members now being qualified to work in schools. Looking at the given definition of a ‘professional’, it can easily...

...HIGHER EDUCATION AMONGST TANKER OFFICERS Quentin.Cox@Solent.ac.uk 1 Abstract Current international maritime legislation requires professional qualifications to be attained, in order for seafarers to be employed as senior officers on merchant ships. There is no requirement for higher educational qualifications to be held by these staff. Nonetheless, it is apparent that many officer employees are conscious of the desirability of possessing recognised educational qualifications. Several have, entirely voluntarily, taken steps to advance their higher education simultaneously with their seagoing careers. This is not a new phenomenon but an opportunity has been taken to gauge current attitudes toward the matter. The paper has been composed as a result of empirical research from a random sample of seagoing officers, whom have attended the Specialised Tanker Training Programmes at Warsash Maritime Academy, since the autumn of 2009. A sample, consisting of 61 course participants, was asked if any had undertaken, or had considered undertaking, higher education study. Of these, 21 had indicated such a preference and were then presented with a series of ten open-ended questions. The results of this survey are presented in this paper and the rationale behind their answers discussed. The paper has also endeavoured to place the findings within the broader context of onboard quality and resource management within the shipping industry. Keywords: Career Planning, Higher Education, Student...

...Professional Development Plan by DBA Student A Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for DDBA 8005 Foundations for Doctoral Business Administration Studies Instructor September 2009 Professional Development Plan Part IA: Description of Personal and Professional Goals From a very early age, I was encouraged to attend college by my parents, my grandparents, and a beloved uncle. They all taught me that obtaining an education, particularly a college education, was a privilege that had not always been afforded to people of color and that it should not be taken for granted. They also taught me that education was the best way to attain great success, no matter how I chose to define success. It did, however, take some time before I fully understood what they so passionately attempted to instill in me. It was not until I began working at Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU), in an environment of academia, that I understood the value and importance of education, and the incredible impact that being part of a learning environment has on a young mind. I have been fortunate to be able to utilize the management skills I learned from my undergraduate studies and through various employment opportunities after obtaining a master’s degree in business administration. I have enjoyed my experiences working in the business field, as diverse as they have been, and would love to teach business administration at the university level. I would like to pursue a Doctor...
