Campaign for Action
The subject of this brief report is the future of nursing and the associated IOM report on the same subject. As part of this report, there will first be a discussion of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Committee and their work as it pertains to the future of nursing, the Institute of Medicine and so forth. The importance of the IOM's report and how it relates to nursing practice will be covered as well. The role of state-based action coalitions will be summarized and the author of this report will focus on two initiatives specific to the author's home state, that being Texas. The barriers that exist in the state of Texas will be covered as well as the ways in which nursing advocates can help overcome these barriers. While barriers to improving healthcare will always exist, foundations like the Robert Wood Johnson one and other healthcare advocates will always strive to overcome those barriers and limitations and this is as it should be.
Analysis
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's report about the future nursing has eight recommendations that center on four overall issues. Those issues are as follows:
1) That nurses should practice to the fullest extent of their education and nursing training (RWJF, 2015).
2) Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and other training through an improved educational framework that helps to promote an academic progression that is seamless (RWJF, 2015).
3) Nurses should be full and complete partners in the future of nursing, right up there with physicians and other healthcare professionals (RWJF, 2015).
4) There needs to be effective workforce planning and policy-making surrounding the same so as to enable proper data collection and sufficient information infrastructure (RWJF, 2015).

Nursing is not only a profession, it is a ministry. Nurses not only provide care for their patients, they oftentimes minister to them in order to provide comfort and in some cases, peace of mind. Nursing is a profession that the healthcare system cannot do without. We know that the profession of a physician goes back to even Biblical times, but even though nursing has been around for many years,
Many of them who have worked for 20 years as nurses have gone up the managerial or corporate ladder. More and more nurses have chosen more paper work and less patient care by becoming supervisors, administrators and nursing directors and then retire or else proceed to another career if they are not yet retiring (Benjamin). Compounding the problem of shortage were a lack of surgical educational content and clinical experiences
Nursing Shortage Background and Current Reality The shortage of nursing staff in the workforce has become a global crisis. Numerous research articles and even books have been written on the subject from all around the world, all giving causal factors and possible solutions. As far back as 2002, "90 nurses' organizations, representing 69 countries and every geographic region of the world, reported shortages in their countries" (Clark & Clark, 2003). Moreover, the
Technology-based teaching strategies can greatly accelerate the how both teaching and learning occur and therefore often reduce traditional issues and concerns faced by students and instructors. This approach changes the conventional way of thinking about how quality nursing programs are assessed and changes the levels of requirements to better suit student learning with better access to libraries, counseling and tutoring services, computing equipment, tuition, and financial aid to name

Students and patients alike will expect that their teachers will have a broad, in-depth range of knowledge about new technology in the field of heath informatics. The organization offers information about 'best practices' in healthcare technology, such as how to protect patient privacy in the online age. Medical
