Influence of Political Stakeholder and Historical Events

We begin with an introduction of a historical perspective nursing and of graduate nursing practice roles.  The practice of nursing has evolved over time and has experienced a paradigm shift from an individual to a population focus for patient-centered nursing care systems.  Nursing care models embrace not only institutional but also community-oriented nursing practice models.  A humanistic approach to nursing practice is no longer enough; there is now a need to emphasize quality measures such as positive health outcomes, patient safety, and contemporary metrics such as value-based purchasing, core measures, and, patient satisfaction.
