Ep 234: The State of Nursing Today with Becky Patton

We focus quite a bit on specific people or issues in nursing, but it’s always great to take a few steps back and take a high-level view of the profession. Today we’re excited to welcome someone who has been incredibly influential and has used that position to give back through service and endowment. Becky Patton, DNP, RN, CNOR, FAAN joins the show to give us a thorough assessment of the state of nursing today and address some of the industry's key questions and challenges.    Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show: The work she’s done in nursing through service, policy, endowment, and working with past Presidents. 2:28 The issues she feels are most important right now. 8:29 Why she feels relationships and shift times are why so many nurses are leaving the profession early in their careers. 12:07 Can we change the current model for nursing? 20:39 Her thoughts on the fraudulent nursing degrees that have been in the news. 27:10 Incorporating policy into the coursework for nursing students. 38:06 Her favorite memory from serving as ANA president.  45:25   Get her book: https://www.amazon.com/Nurses-Making-Policy-Third-Boardroom/dp/0826166458/  About our guest: https://case.edu/nursing/about/fpb-directories/faculty-directory/rebecca-m-patton  Visit us online: http://beyondthemaskpodcast.com  Get the CE certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf
