The Future of Nursing report identified that nurses, working at the forefront of patient care, can play a vital role in helping to realize objectives to make health care accessible, acceptable, and affordable. Before this can occur, barriers to prevent nurses from responding effectively to rapidly changing health care settings and an evolving health care system need to be addressed. Then nurses will be even better positioned to lead change and advance health (Institute of Medicine, 2010). Barriers include nurses' inability to practice to their full extent, lack of access to an education system that allows for seamless progression to higher levels, and lack of opportunity for full partnership with other healthcare professionals. Other needs are improved research, better data collection, and information infrastructure on health care workforce requirements.
Historically, innovation and entrepreneurship in nurse education have been avoided because dominant values are acceptance, standardisation, and prescription (Robinson, 2008). Directed recruitment and education strategies are needed to prepare nurses for entre/intrapreneurial roles to provide leadership, co-ordinate care, and establish multi-disciplinary pathways. This is true not just in the United States, where the FON report was generated, but worldwide. There are risks and barriers in being innovative and a leader. But, for nurses to gain an equal place both in the workplace (and around the policy table), they need to be encouraged to be confident in their skills (Liu & D'Aunno, 2011).
