Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: The biggest change to the profession over the next five years will be to find safe and effective ways to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our practices. While AI is a huge game-changer, Nurse Practitioners and all health care providers, must apply the principles of critical thinking for each particular care to assure that patients are receiving the best evidence-based care.
Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: Major advice for new Nurse Practitioners is that learning continues in the first position, as it takes at least a year to see the various problems individuals present with in the practice. After that initial learning curve, dedication and commitment to being a life-long learner is essential to having a successful career. Become an active member of the particular nursing organization that is within your specialty, as that is one way to stay knowledgeable about changes in the profession.
Donna Hallas PhD, RN, PPCNP-BC, CPNP, PMHS, FAANP, FAAN: For newly licensed advanced practice graduates from Graduate Nursing Schools, often the starting salary is established by the organization. Individuals need to know the salary ranges and determine if the salary is one that fits their expenses. For those Graduates who have had experience previously, and now have an advanced degree, for example, the DNP, they can often negotiate for a higher salary. Today, there are numerous opportunities for experienced graduates to bring new ideas to an organization, and speak to them during the interview process.

Jan Kaiser: Most of our graduates stay locally in the Wenatchee Valley or surrounding areas for employment. Jobs are plentiful and graduates are hired within 1-2 months of graduating.
Jan Kaiser: At Wenatchee Valley College we have not seen a drop in number of students looking at health care careers, in fact number of students apply has gone up during this pandemic times. Job market has been good and we don't think this will change anytime soon.
Regina Cardaci Ph.D.: Critical thinking and creative problem solving
-Patience
-Empathy

-Resilience.
-Attitude and confidence
-Teamwork
Regina Cardaci Ph.D.: The COVID-19 pandemic conditions prevented many nursing students in the country from participating in traditional clinical experiences since the spring semester of 2020. Schools of Nursing worked to identify innovative solutions to provide clinical and simulation experiences, leaving new graduates entering the workforce with less clinical education than past nurses. Also, many states declared states of emergency, allowing nursing graduates to work before passing the NCLEX exam. While this may keep graduate nurses in the learning mindset, this can create the potential for new unlicensed nurses, who may not have completed their clinical experiences, to enter practice with different learning, social, and emotional needs
Regina Cardaci Ph.D.: -Critical care, specially care of ventilated patients.
-Pulmonary care
-Epidemiology
-Infection control
-Disaster nursing
In addition these obvious certifications, there needs to be preceptors who are able to help transition these new graduates, who may be underprepared from Schools of Nursing, to becoming independently functioning nurses. The importance of the preceptor in new nurse retention and patient safety cannot be minimized. Healthcare organizations that place a large number of new graduates may benefit from increasing focus on preceptor training for its current staff.
Dr. Mary Ellen Glasgow Ph.D.: Students will need keen assessment skills, strong interpersonal skills, and proficiency in basic skills - physical assessment, lab findings analysis, medication administration, wound care, and basic physical care as well as compassion, cultural awareness, clinical reasoning, and patient advocacy skills.

Ivy Razmus Ph.D.: I think informatics and data management are essential in today's health care market. Administration of vaccines, documentation of interventions, and accurate medication administration. In some states, they don't have enough Registered Nurses so they are using LPNs to perform many duties such as medication administration, overseeing the care of direct caregivers. During this pandemic, we are using medically trained national guard members to administer the vaccines. They are often using paramedics and emergency medical technicians in the emergency departments.

Dr. Elizabeth Aquino Ph.D.: New nurses entering the workforce will continue to require the same skills they have always needed to practice safe patient care. The pandemic will not necessarily change their training because nurses are well-educated on educating patients on health promotion and disease prevention and are prepared to care for a wide range of patient illnesses and conditions, including those with various contagion precautions. Nurses are also well aware that healthcare is constantly changing as new illnesses, treatments, and practices evolve; so, their flexibility, adaptability, resilience, and ability to practice to their license's full scope is important. To retain nurses in the clinical setting, adequate hospital support and an emphasis on using self-care strategies are essential.
Dr. Elizabeth Aquino Ph.D.: Nursing students are high achievers, so having a high GPA alone may not be enough to stand out from other applicants. A well-rounded resume should include community or volunteer service and demonstrate one's commitment to the nursing profession, such as being an active member of a professional nursing association or honor society. If a student completes a research or service project, the title of the work should be included in the resume and talk about the project in the interview if there is an opportunity to share the work. Many hospitals engage nurses in research and unit or hospital-wide projects to improve clinical outcomes; therefore, having at least a foundational understanding of research will be valuable in helping move an institutions' research and projects forward.

Kathleen Sellers Ph.D.: In the field of nursing the pandemic is accentuating the nursing leadership shortage. The majority of nurse leaders are between ages of 45 and 70. As those in the latter part of their careers choose to retire, there becomes a heightened need for well educated, energetic professionals to assume the positions of middle manager and chief nurse executive. The growing complexities of healthcare administration given the development of networks of care, assuming risk and technology in addition to the pandemic, require an educational preparation in these areas to retain new leaders.
Kathleen Sellers Ph.D.: Skill sets that are particularly needed include systems thinking, finance proficiency, informatics, change management experience with the goal of enhanced clinical quality, and exquisite communication skills.
Pam Fifer: Experiences demonstrating flexibility, resilience, communication, and clinical judgment.
Pam Fifer: The pandemic has changed our world. For new nursing graduates it emphasized the importance of nursing, public health, adaptability, and health equity. New graduates are entering the profession at a critical time with their eyes wide open.
