The Future of Nursing & Education
Challenges and Issues Facing the Future of Nursing Education: Implications for Ethnic Minority Faculty and Students.
The present State Of Education in the United States
In the current time, the importance and role of nursing in the society of America in very crucial. With having such importance, the education of nursing and learning and development is highly necessary. But the field of nurses can be found a well and enough efficient to get itself prepared almost for every challenge the nursing field and nursing themselves have to face now and in the future.
The current trends in U.S. higher education require nursing to be well prepared and ready for the challenges and problems that have effects on their future. In other words, American higher education is getting advanced day by day, hence requiring the nursing to be well prepared for every challenge and issue that impacts the future of this particular field (nursing). This concern of such as advancement of higher education and challenges and problems in nursing attract almost every student to get engaged in learning and development by involving in the advanced science and engineering trainings and practices in the United States as compared to the training and numbers produced in a large amount of international institutes (Davis, Davis, & Williams, 2010).
In the United States, universities have worked as a magnate for students around the world and have attracted almost every talented student and researcher. It is a fact that the excellence and competitiveness of a nation can be found dependent on the four years of university education of students as well as their educational standards. In comparison with other countries such as the UK, New Zealand, and Korea, etc. United States left behind in 2001 by these nations in terms rate of four years of university education as their college continuation is higher than the US (Davis, Davis, & Williams, 2010).
In terms of minorities of the United States, the students of the United States are usually found weak in some academic subjects such as math, English, and science skills when they are compared with other students from around the world (Gardner, 2015). With such issues at hand, there is a possibility of a large number of challenges. Hence, one of the most critical and major challenges that also put effects on the future of high education is the technological change and scientific and modern studies and communication.
Furthermore, the challenges can be found more critical and tough when it specifically comes to nursing. Briefly, the challenges in the current time, as well as the challenges that may exist in the future as well, include increased patients acuity, competition for clinical sites, and education programs and deficiencies in some eras in it (Kelly, 2012). Beyond these challenges, an important challenge that should be considered and kept in mind is the provision of culturally specific nursing care for an increasingly culturally diverse population.
For the purpose to prepare American students for competing with the international world in both general and nursing education, many efforts should be put to include ethnic and racial minorities in education and academics. While neglecting this would lead to creating more issues and challenges than we have today. While training and developmental practices for next college generation should be ensured instead. While specific strategies and tactics should be and are given to the nursing students in Research University to assist them in enhancing their research capabilities and nursing practices (Davis, Davis, & Williams, 2010). To conclude, neglecting one or more elements of the system such as the involvement of ethnic minorities, and research, etc. may lead to jeopardizing the whole system. Hence the system should be made up as a whole.
