As you continue to consider the various roles of the master’s-prepared nurse, you also need to consider how health care is changing and the effect it has on your role as a nurse. Keeping in mind the American Nurses Association (ANA) standards and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the future of nursing, your role as a nurse is becoming even more essential as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to be implemented.
