The IOM Report: Future Of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.
The nursing profession is the largest among all the health professions that makes up the healthcare sector, more than 3 million registered nurses are in active practice. Nursing roles are crucial in delivering quality healthcare services; expanded roles of nurses have seen nurses being influential in the decision-making process within various leadership positions. A report released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2010 titled " the future of nursing: leading change, advancing health" highlights some of the key recommendations on the future nursing practice (The Institute of Medicine, 2010).

The report analyzed the qualification requirement for nurses to assess the impact of individual levels of education versus service delivery (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2014).
The RWJF committee identified several barriers limiting nurses from practicing based on their levels of education, due to the ongoing health care reform. The four major recommendations by the committee includes
1 The need for nurses to discharge their duties in line with their education. Qualified nurses need to be permitted to practice to the full extent of their education by expanding their scope of practices (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2014).
