Nursing students and novice nurses expect their work place to resemble what they were taught in school. Nursing schools have provided students with an excellent knowledge base and the beginning of critical thinking. The NURSE RESOURCE GUIDE, A Quick Reference for the Bedside Nurse, provides an "in the trenches" support for patient assessment, critical thinking and procedural recommendations. This is what every new and returning nurse needs to have handy when working at the bedside. Patients, family members, physicians and your peers need to know nurses provide safe quality patient care. The NURSE RESOURCE GUIDE, A Quick Reference for the Bedside Nurse, is a valuable tool to help you develop the framework of your quality nursing care. The acute care setting in this day and age is so fast paced, and the patient population is so acutely ill, it requires the quick and accurate assessment and correct interventions to provide best quality care and outcomes for your patients. The hardest part of becoming a well-rounded nurse is learning to critically think. The ability to know what is essential in each patient's care requires nurses to have vital information at their fingertips allowing them to recognize significant changes in the patient's condition. The NURSE RESOURCE GUIDE, A Quick Reference for the Bedside Nurse, will help you to develop and advance your assessment skills in providing safe quality patient care to create excellence.

The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the need for interprofessional cooperation in healthcare. Countless studies have shown that genuine teamwork and team intelligence are critical to patient safety. Poor communication among health care personnel is a major factor in hospital errors, even more so than the level of staff competence and experience. This is why many schools for health professionals and major health care employers now promote interprofessional education and cooperation. Bedside Manners is a play about workplace relations among physicians, nurses, others who work in health care, and patients—and how their interaction affects the quality of patient care, for better or worse. The accompanying workbook helps educators, managers, patient safety advocates, administrators, and union representatives to analyze and discuss the issues raised in the play. When presented in hospitals, universities, and health care conferences all over the United States, Bedside Manners invariably sparks a vibrant conversation about patient safety problems and how to solve them, job satisfaction and stress, and the importance of information sharing and mutual respect. As text or script, this play is a unique teaching tool for medical and nursing schools, and other health professional schools and continuing education programs involving health care clinicians and staff of all kinds.
