practice is transforming in response to the current demands of the healthcare system and answer
one of the following questions:
What differentiates the practice of a master's-prepared nurse compared to that of a baccalaureate-
prepared nurse?
What is the value of a master's degree in nursing?
What do you consider to be the most essential professional competency for a master's-prepared
nurse practicing in the 21st century?

The master’s degree in nursing brings the register nurse an extra understanding of assessments,
interventions, and evaluations, plan of care and identification of any disease or problems. Also the
master prepared nurses to have a better critical thinking and to make better clinical decisions; as
Cotterill-Walker (2012) stated, the master degree increase the nurse self-assurance and the ability to
think critically under pressure, to improve the communication with interdisciplinary teams members.
According to the Chamberlain’s conceptual framework of nursing, a master degree will provide skills in
leadership, research, education, organizational and practice settings, which all combine bring a better
outcomes for the patients, as well don’t limit the practice to one role, and get the opportunity to get
around until you find your path. The master degree also improve the leadership skills that as register
nurse in the floor is kind of hard to obtain, as well improve the communication styles need it to create a
plan of care, or plan for the hospital or any other plan that will be beneficial for the institution that the
nurse is in. And provides the foundation need it for the doctoral study.
As the American Association of colleges of nursing stated; the master‘s education will and must
prepared the graduate to “lead change to improve quality outcomes, advance a culture of excellence
through lifelong learning, build and lead collaborative inter-professional care teams, navigate and
integrate care services across the healthcare system, design innovative nursing practices, and translate
evidence into practice”. At the end of the master program we will be able to exceed the expectations of
the real world, be able to understand the cultures and to help them with the respect of theirs believes, a
med surgical floor nurse faced so many misunderstanding of cultures; the whys some population
doesn’t want to follow the plan of care, this subject is essential in developing an interventions for them
and to collaborate with the medical team to bring the best quality of care to the patients in all the
concepts.
