Abstract

Since the introduction of the Future of Nursing report in 2011, Indiana nursing has successfully implemented many of the recommendations. This article describes these accomplishments. Notable examples include increasing the diversity of the workforce, placement of nurses on community boards and governmental appointments, promoting the advancement of nursing education, and increasing the number of nurses with baccalaureate degrees. Furthermore, Indiana supports the proliferation of new doctoral programs with a scholarship fundraising program to assist nurses with the cost of their education.
