Current trends in nursing are associated with changes in the health needs of society, shifts in the healthcare delivery system, and transitions in scientific and technological advancement. For example, with the aging population rising at an unprecedented rate, it is crucial to train nurses from all healthcare settings to identify approaches that enable older adults to live independently. Nurses also need to be adept at providing care and education for the self-management of multiple chronic conditions, such as hypertension with ischemic heart disease. Additionally, efforts must be directed to ensure holistic care for the elderly in long-term care facilities and to support carers of patients with dementia and disability. Increasingly essential is the use of informatics for decision-making in nursing. Information technology can be used to audit health records and provide feedback to nurses and ensure the best patient outcomes. Currently, there is a global nursing shortage. This may be associated with heavy workloads, inadequate resourcing, burnout, and post-pandemic stress. This means that the nurse's training, recruitment, and retention are critical, as are fair pay, decent work environments, and attractive career growth.
