In the records of the Annual Meeting of 1S96 will be found a report by a special committee on "Eligibility for Membership," the discussion that followed, and the action of the meeting upon that report. Last year another committee was appointed to formulate the necessary changes with a view to a still further amendment. "I think it is in the mind of thus Association that we shall have some standard and we are now trying to make a standard. But the question that has lately forced itself upon me is, "Are we working towards the true standard, when we regard as a passport for membership in our Association the position held, rather than the quality of training and education of the woman who holds it. It is true we Superintendents' Society, Toronto, 1898. require that "members shall be graduates in good and regular standing from training schools connected with incorporated general hospitals giving not less than a two years' course of instruction." So far as this requirement goes we all meet on common ground, but we diverge the moment the kind of hospital position held is taken into consideration and on this basis forthwith are divided into active, associate and visiting members.

The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
