The process of health reform policy will create new and demanding opportunities for nurse leaders in the academy. While it is difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of such reform, it is important to have a broad overview of the emerging trends. To fully engage in the political process, nursing educators need to become engaged in these discussions at the local, state and national levels as there are definitive implications for new roles for nurses across all health care settings. The education of current and future nurses should be an integral component of any health reform-making this call for involvement nothing short of an imperative.
健康改革政策的实施将为学院中的护理领导者带来新的、高要求的机遇。虽然很难预测这种改革的最终结果,但重要的是要对新兴趋势有一个广泛的了解。为了充分参与政治进程,护理教育工作者需要在地方、州和国家各级参与这些讨论,因为这对所有医疗保健环境中的护士的新角色都有明确的影响。对现有和未来护士的教育应该是任何健康改革的一个组成部分——因此,这种参与的呼吁是必不可少的。
