Outline the importance of the IOM “Future of Nursing” report related to nursing practice, nursing education and nursing workforce development.

Action Coalitions are the driving force of the campaign at the local and state levels, forming a strong, connected grassroots network of diverse stakeholders working to transform health care through nursing.

In Indiana, Physicians and Nurses Work Together to Transform Nursing

For the Indiana Action Coalition, nurses and doctors are joining together to transform the nursing profession to improve health and health care in the state.

Kimberly Harper, RN, MS, executive director of the Indiana Center for Nursing, and Richard Kiovsky, MD, FAAFP, professor of clinical family medicine at Indiana University, have teamed up as co-leads of the Indiana Action Coalition, a group of nurses and nursing champions who are working to transform the nursing profession.

The Coalition is co-led by a doctor and a nurse; the executive committee is comprised of two nurses and two doctors; and its 22-member steering committee includes six people who are not nurses, three of whom are physicians. Learn more about the Indiana Action Coalition.

Nurse Leaders Mount Campaign in Large State with Small-Town Feel

For the Montana Action Coalition, living in a frontier state has its advantages.

“It’s like living in a small town,” Cynthia Gustafson, the Montana Action Coalition co-lead said. “We know each other. We have easy access to policy-makers. They might be your neighbors or your friends—or even your students.”

The small-town feel of Montana—one of the country’s largest states by area but one of its smallest by population—makes Gustafson’s job as co-lead of a campaign to improve health and health care by transforming the nursing profession that much easier. When Gustafson, PhD, RN, executive director of the Montana Board of Nursing (MHA), wants to hold a statewide meeting on nurse education policy, for example, she can simply contact her friends at the state’s nurse education programs and arrange a conference call. Learn more about the Montana Action Coalition.

Counselor Supervision

Counselor supervision

Counselor supervisors are important to counselors in training as they guide them in the

process of becoming accredited counselors, leading to numerous responsibilities. This section

outlines three such tasks and how they may arise for site supervisorsI
Counselor supervision 2

According to the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (2011), one

responsibility for the supervisor is to engage in supervisory actions that will make the delivery of

counseling services more proficient. Thus, a site supervisor ensures that the supervisee is well

trained and that he that he will adhere to any ethical and legal standards that are set out by the

organization. This ensures that clients get the best help, protecting their welfare in the process.

Secondly, a counselor supervisor evaluates and assesses the performance of the

supervisee, especially with regard to the application of relevant theories, techniques and

interventions (American Counseling Association, 2005; American Association for Marriage and

Family Therapy, 2007). Because the site supervisor is present while the sessions are ongoing

(even though he may not be utilizing live supervision), he is in a position to monitor the

supervisee’s progress daily. This way, he can quickly appraise the supervisee and provide much

needed guidance when needed. Consequently, he helps the supervisee to be more aware of his

actions during sessions and how they may affect the client.
