Abstract
The world of healthcare is changing. If nursing is to remain relevant in this transforming environment, nurses must be able to see past current conditions and circumstances and prepare a different world for nursing practice. In order to do this well, nursing leaders must embrace innovation and engage newer strategies for responding to the changing demands for nursing practice. Through use of key innovative strategies and techniques, nurses can both visualize a changing context for practice and develop effective strategies to address them. Preparing for the future of practice calls for concerted yet progressive action. Nurses must be willing to challenge the past and write a new and legitimate script for nursing practice that better reflects the highly mobilized and technologically defined health service delivery of the future.
