Making the case for differentiation of registered nurse practice: Historical perspectives meet contemporary efforts

In recent years, the nursing profession in the United States (U.S.) has made new efforts to advance the education of registered nurses (RNs) who provide direct patient care to the baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN). This renewed focus is partially due to current research noting that an RN's education is positively correlated with improved patient outcomes. In spite of the research and efforts, multiple educational pathways for entry into RN practice continue to thrive throughout the U.S. and around the globe. The purposes of this paper are to present three historical cases describing the original intent of the graduates' differentiated practice role for entry-level RN educational pathways in America and evaluate the current efforts to advance the education of RNs within the U.S. for practice differentiation by education. Lack of practice differentiation among differently prepared RNs has persisted in America for more than a century and until recently hospitals often disregarded the RN's education when hiring direct care nurses. Lack of practice differentiation by education has affected the quality of nursing care as shown by the recent research. The current efforts to advance the education of the RN do not differentiate the practice of the differently prepared RNs. The present context provides the nursing profession an opportunity to differentiate RN practice based on education. Thus, the clinical ladder program is proposed as a model to initiate differentiated RN practice at the institutional level. Clinical ladder programs can be revised to meet the needs of the individual regions around the globe.

Dialectical Analysis Concerning the Rational Aspect of the Art of Nursing

It is often claimed that nursing is both a science and an art. Science, it is argued, involves a rational process in which empirical findings are used to determine what is the case. Art, on the other hand, is associated with creative and intuitive activities. The author steps back from this position and examines the question of whether the art of nursing is properly conceived as involving a rational aspect. The study upon which this paper is based involved the analysis of a discourse contained in the work of 43 nurse scholars, published between 1860 and 1992. A philosophical approach is used to examine two contrary positions regarding the place of the rational aspect in relation to the art of nursing. The analysis attempts to expand the discourse by delineating questions and concerns that, as yet, have not been fully considered.

The effects of nursing education on job effectiveness: An overview of the literature

An overview of the published studies on the effectiveness of a nursing education as it relates to job performance is presented. Selected literature is reviewed and divided into three areas of study: competency, performance, and quality of care. The literature revealed contradictory evidence on the value of baccalaureate nursing education. More important, the review demonstrates a lack of rigorous research in this area. Suggested research directions include the measurement of individual performance rather than the perception of group performance, the development of better instruments, and control of the setting and individual variables that affect job performance. It is recommended that nursing effectiveness be defined in terms of both patient outcomes and nurse performance.
