As a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, you are about to renew your license for the first time. Other nurses are complaining about the continuing education requirement, and you and your manager overhear their complaints. Your boss suggests that you create a handout for the staff lounge bulletin board that emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning, particularly as it relates to clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. You should read The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2010) by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) before you begin so that you understand â€why†it is so critical.
