I think that for the Institute of Medicine's list of "Research Priorities for transforming Nursing Leadership."Item #4. In the discussion of the "identification of the characteristics of mentors that have been (or could be) most successful in recruiting and training diverse nurses and nurse faculty; this particular area is of huge interest to me because I have elected to specialize in nurse education. I think that in the area of developing the characteristics of nurse mentors, it is vitally important that the nurses are trained for heathcare delivery and there is need for greater numbers, better preparation and more diversity in the student body and faculty, the workforce, lifelong learning and interprofessional education.

Commitees should be formed that word for the overall benefit of the new, young and developing nurses.

These nurses practice individually and help create a healthy environment and society (American Nurses Association, 2010).

Furthermore, I have the firm believe that nursing education is not immune to these timely changes. Healthcare information is growing at an exponential rate. Technological advances are at the forefront of changes in healthcare delivery. Healthcare consumers demand skilled professionals trained using the most current educational modalities. Healthcare practitioners must be prepared to interact with increasingly complex technology, as well as alter their practice based on a mounting body of knowledge. Psychomotor skills are a vital component of nursing care. Nurses must be competent in basic psychomotor skills to ensure safe, reasonable care. However, despite the importance of psychomotor skills for nurses, much of the literature specific to psychomotor skills and the attainment of such skills in nursing education ...
