Professional Nursing And State Level Regulations

/in /by

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
  • Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
  • Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion.

Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

You are the nurse manager on a large unit that has 14 FTE RNs on staff, 25 FTE LPNs, and 15 FTE nursing aides, orderlies, and clerks. The schedule for the next 2 months is due in administration by next week, and you are beginning to work on it. Various requests have been submitted by personnel for vacations, educational conferences, time to attend a wedding, and long weekends, and a request from one nurse asks not to be rotated to weekend evenings or nights because her husband bowls on weekends, and she has no babysitter for their three young children. Then answer the following questions:

  • What types of additional information do you need to complete this schedule?
  • How do you honor requests as submitted? What if two of the requests for vacations came from RNs scheduled to work the same weekends, and they both asked for exactly the same days off?
  • How do you inform staff whether their requests have been honored? Are they informed by seeing the posted schedule?
  • Are requests taken in the order in which they are received? Or do you have another means of honoring requests?

 Provide your responses on an APA formatted paper.

  I need 1 page paper, this is instruction:

Overview

This week’s assignment is also related to the ANA Code of Ethics – Provision 9. You might want to review provision 9 again. Advocating for the profession is important. Writing a letter is one of the ways a nurse can positively promote nursing and its causes. The purpose of this assignment is to write a professional letter to address the image of nursing or to promote a cause for nursing.

This assignment is worth 20 points.

Learning Objectives

· Distinguish the professional responsibilities that accompany the nursing profession.

· Define pressing issues that may arise as a nurse.

Directions

Read the letter writing handout. Then construct a professional letter using one of the two options below. Your letter will consist of proper address, correct salutation/greeting, body of the letter, proper closing, and contact information.

Option A: Write a letter on a current economic or political topic related directly to nursing. Address your letter to the appropriate person – You need to write to a person who is in a position to do something about the problem. For example, you should not write to the President to address a healthcare issue that needs to be passed in congress. You would want to address the correct Senator or representative from your state who will be voting on the issue. This is a professional letter, so letter form, grammar and punctuation is graded, too. This could be to a congressman or woman or to other legislators, to big business or corporations. Remember, there must be a close nursing link to write this letter. You might want to look at a professional organization website in order to look for options.

Option B: Write a letter to defend the image of nursing. Most often nursing is portrayed as less than professional in popular media, TV, advertising, greeting cards, etc.  Choose an example and write a professional letter to the appropriate person to tell them why you think they have portrayed nursing unprofessionally. Tell them how this affects the image of nursing and provide suggestions to change the situation. Look at popular TV shows, e-greetings, traditional cards advertising etc. to find an example. You can even “Google” to find some ideas.

Professional Presentationcommunication Skills Powerpoint To Demonstrate An Advancing Understanding Of The Political Landscape Of Apn Practice

/in /by

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:

  • Develop professional presentation/communication skills.
  • Demonstrate an advancing understanding of the political landscape of APN practice.
  • Demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature and be able to disseminate the information orally.
  • Demonstrate and practice professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of peers.

Course Outcomes

  1. Analyze the development of advanced practice nursing roles from a  historical perspective including the impact of advanced practice nursing  on the healthcare delivery system from the perspective of selected  current reports (i.e. LACE, IOM, etc.)
  2. Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APN practice are  organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic and political  factors.

Requirements

For Week 7, there is no case study given to you by the faculty.  Instead, you will be creating a recorded presentation that demonstrates  your understanding of LACE principles and their influence on APN  practice. This presentation will be uploaded into the course via  Kaltura.

Address the following Topics/Questions:

  • How do licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE)  considerations differ for all four APN clinical roles (CNP, CNW, CRNA,  CNS) for these three states: California, Washington, and Illinois?  Provide evidence for your response.
  • Discuss what evidence-based strategies should be implemented to  achieve continuity between state regulatory boards? Provide evidence for  your response.
  • Is independent NP practice allowed in your state (FLORIDA)? Discuss your  opinion regarding independent NP practice in your state (FLORIDA). Should NPs be  allowed to practice independently? Provide evidence for your response.

Presentation Guidelines  : 

  • The presentation should include a PowerPoint presentation which will be recorded via Kaltura.
  • Students should create the PowerPoint presentation offline and then open it for use during the Kaltura recording.
  • Students must practice/recording the presentation more than once to  allow for practice and mastery of the content and presentation style.  The final presentation of the Kaltura recording should be submitted  only. Do not use PowerPoint to record the presentation. 
  • Students should review their presentation for clarity in audio and  sound as well as clarity in the information presented. Students should  be professionally dressed in business casual attire for the presentation  with/without a lab coat. Scrubs, sweats, denim, yoga pants, and  athletic wear are not considered business casual. Student’s face must be  visible via the webcam during the presentation.
  • The presentation should be approximately 15-20 minutes in recorded  length. It will vary from student to student but should adequately  address the material.
  • The presentation should contain appropriate scholarly evidence  to support the information presented per APA format. Use in-text  references and have a reference list at the end of the presentation.
  • PowerPoint slides should be used as cues to topics and key concepts  without lengthy sentences and paragraphs- reading information from  slides is not professional and therefore not acceptable.
  • A professional presentation includes an introduction both of  yourself and of the topic, the touch points of information you’re going  to discuss as well as a conclusion.
  • Students may use any type and size font that works for their  presentation. Slides should include bullet points you intend to cover,  4-5 bullet points per slide. The bullet points should be expanded upon  with oral information. Direct quotes and paragraphs are discouraged.  Speaker notes may be included in the presentation or used by the  presenter as a side-reference.
  • The student’s oral presentation should demonstrate a clear  understanding of all concepts along with specific examples to represent  concepts.

Technology Requirements

The presentation must be recorded using Kaltura. 

Please refer to the “How to use Kaltura” recording below. If you have  technical issues, please contact your faculty or Tech Support. Make sure you click on the Screen & Webcam box to record in Kaltura.
