Anticipating Practice Transformations: What's Next?

In Pursuit of a More Unified Nursing Voice

Abstract

While nursing is a profession built on collaborative relationships, a lack of unity and historically disparate power structures have become entrenched within the profession during our long history. We are still having many of the same conversations today about the state of the profession as we were 30 years ago. If we want nurses graduating today to enjoy vibrant careers that will see them holding different sorts of conversations about the profession in 2040, then a blueprint for action to optimize intraprofessional practice is required. This paper provides an overview of a recent pan-Canadian report, paints a picture of the current landscape of nursing in Canada and outlines several key strategies to begin transforming intraprofessional practice.
