Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer in this field, Jogan wants to help keep you relevant in your nursing career. Here is a list of the changes that are occurring and some advice to help you say informed.
Technology is transforming nursing practices in many ways. Electronic health records (EHRs) have become standard. This lets nurses access patient information more efficiently. Mobile health applications and wearable devices are increasingly used to monitor patients remotely.
Â
This has changed care coordination and patient engagement for the better. Another new change is the increase in telehealth and virtual nursing offerings, which allows nurses to provide care remotely, particularly in rural or underserved areas. Make sure to stay tech-savvy, so you can continue to care for your patients in an increasingly digital world.Â

The nursing profession has seen a rise in specializations. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), such as nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, and clinical nurse specialists, have gained more prominence. If you add specializations to your resume and constantly learn new skills, you can better address the growing demand for primary care providers and help your team bridge the gap in healthcare access.Â
Healthcare is shifting toward a more collaborative and team-based approach. Nurses are playing increasingly important roles within interdisciplinary teams, working closely with physicians, pharmacists, social workers, and other healthcare professionals.
Â
This new model prioritizes teamwork and cohesive treatment, promoting better patient outcomes. It is in your best interest to increase horizontal communication between you and your teammates, so you can join in this approach and learn from your co-workers and leaders.Â
🩺 Learn from an expert. Dr. Jenna Liphart Rhoads, Ph.D, RN, CNE, talks about the roles nurses play that make them the heart of healthcare.
With a focus on preventive care and population health management, nurses are taking on roles in health promotion, disease prevention, and community education. They are involved in chronic disease management, vaccinations, health screenings, and lifestyle interventions.

Not only will it make you look more competitive in the market; it will also teach you new skills, help you avoid repetitive tasks, and improve your standing in this competitive profession.Â
Nursing education is evolving to meet the changing demands of the healthcare landscape. There is an increasing emphasis on evidence-based practice, research utilization, and lifelong learning. Nursing programs are incorporating informatics, genomics, and other emerging areas to prepare nurses for the future. Additionally, nurses are actively involved in research, contributing to evidence generation, and shaping clinical practice.
