Discuss Priorities for transforming Nursing leadership

As health care delivery in the United States continues to evolve, either through mandates, improved technologies and training, or other drivers, nurses remain at the forefront in facilitating the success of new initiatives. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine formed a committee of experts to address the following question: What roles can nursing assume to address the increasing demand for safe, high-quality, and effective health care services? In the final report of the committee, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the authors stated:
This report offers recommendations that collectively serve as a blueprint to (1) ensure that nurses can practice to the full extent of their education and training, (2) improve nursing education, (3) provide opportunities for nurses to assume leadership positions and to serve as full partners in health care redesign and improvement efforts, and (4) improve data collection for workforce planning and policy making. (p. 10)

For this Essay, focus on the research recommendations presented by the committee concerning the role of nurses as leaders. The committee members believe that answers to these research questions are needed to advance the profession of nursing and to further expand their role in health care reform and improvement.

I haven chosen in the Research Priorities for Transforming Nursing Leadership the topic of interest:
. Identification of the influence of nursing on important health care decisions at all levels.
OR
Identification of the unique contributions of nurses to health care committees or boards.

In the essay Consider the benefits and challenges of further researching and addressing this priority in nursing. How the research findings impact nurses as leaders in organizations and health care reform. Why is research on this priority important? Explain how continued research in this area could strengthen the ability of nurses to lead in both individual organizations and as advocates of health care reform.

On my own I will use my university library Providing an overview of the articles I found (using appropriate APA citations) relating to this priority, and highlight any key findings.
