Need some help with an assignment!


Hi! I am in my first semester of my master's program for Family Nurse Practitioner. I am having trouble coming up with any ideas for my last paper. I was wondering if anyone could help?

I need to find a problem or a concern that could use change relating to the role of an APN. I need to implement a process of change.

This is my actual description of my assignment:

The purpose is to become familiar with a major issue that you would like to see changed within your chosen advanced practice role, to be able to thoroughly discuss the issue and the implications for advanced nursing practice.

Guidelines:
  • <LI class=MsoNormal>Select an issue related to your chosen area of interest (ie. NP, CNS, CNL, Educator, Administrator). Email your topic choice to your instructor by Oct. 31st. (This paper is 20% of course grade and is used as the artifact for your portfolio) <LI class=MsoNormal>Identify the issue and present a relevant review of the literature. (5/20%) <LI class=MsoNormal>Present a change theory and apply that change theory to your plan for dealing with your chosen issue. (5/20%) <LI class=MsoNormal>Discuss implications for advanced practice. (5/20%)
  • Use correct grammar/spelling, correct APA format and reference correctly in APA style. (5/20%)
So If anyone could be of help, that would be great!!
Thanks!

Default Re: Need some help with an assignment!
what are NP in your state NOT allowed to do that may be legal elsewhere? Can you set up a clinic without an MD on the premises? Are the MD's in your area receptive to your input? Does your state require continuing education and is it enough, in your opinion? Does the local hospital have NP's in the ED? Elsewhere? Think about what you would like to see that could expand the NP scope of practice or interaction with the public and with MD's.
