4.perceptions about the changing nature of the health care delivery system, nursing roles, and responsibilities, etc...

As ARNP, probably gaining more independence. Expect more nursing research with the DNP program.

Within specialty fields like orthopedic surgery, I don't expect any changes, as I am already working to the limit of the standard permitted by law.

There is some talk of transition programs for PAs into MDs, not sure what might be going on with NPs in this regard.

MDs I know are becoming stressed by the business competition for them to stay lucrative.

Expect lower MD salaries as health care becomes more government oriented. NP salaries have been steadily climbing.

5.perceptions about legal and ethical concerns in nursing practice

No change in the last 10 years that I've seen.

Best defense is a good rapport with your patient and staying curent professionally speaking.

6.perceptions about caring in nursing today

My soap box: Nursing is not the "science of caring"....caring is the ethic not the science. See my blog: http://nursing-philosophy.blogspot.com

7.forecast for the future of the nursing profession.

The short story: With evidence-based practice (EBP) the focus, expect less philosophical and theoretical development. I expect a stunting of nursing epistemology (knowledge) with the downturn in philosophical development. For my reasons and ongoing project, see my blog (rather than reiterating everything here).

GOOD LUCK!
