Nurses will believe in their power to influence change and they will be knowledgeable about how to proceed to make changes. The Baccalaureate degree will be entry to practice and in the year 2010, all nurses will have opportunities to further their education. In order to be truly powerful we must be unified. So many of us devote excessive amounts of time criticizing our colleagues. It is this criticism that divides us.
Nurses often turn their anger about their oppression onto other nurses.
We are quick to point a finger at someone who tries something new and different. In the next decade nurses will speak out against gossip, and support one another. We will be tolerant of differences so that we may have better quality in our work lives and provide better patient care. We must realize how our own rivalries affect patient care. Finally, nurses in the future will value their young.
