IOM Future of Nursing Recommendations
When it comes to the transformation of healthcare in our country, the role of nurses cannot be overstated. The IOM future of nursing recommendations highlight the steps or measures that should to be taken to further enhance the role of nurses in the said transformation going forward.

This will enable nurses to fully partner with other health professionals including but not limited to physicians. The recommendation thus gives nurses yet another reason to enhance their knowledge as well as skills so as to be of greater relevance in the practice arena.

Lifelong learning will enable nurses to stay current by ensuring that their knowledge as well as skills remains relevant in a fast-paced nursing environment. This will see nurses continue to play an important role towards the continued improvement of the country's health and well-being. It should however be noted that when it comes to lifelong learning, the full commitment of nurses is critical.
