Professional Nursing & State Level Regulations Discussion

/in /by

I uploaded the videos required for the discussion. One of them had to be an audio file due to size.

Discussion: Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations

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.

Assignment: Regulation for Nursing Practice Staff Development Meeting

Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each.

Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing.

Assignment: Integrating Quality and Patent Safety with Technology

Technology may assist in supporting healthcare quality and safety. Technology can help reduce costs, advance quality care, improve patient safety, and increase health outcomes. For example, notification technology that quickly delivers critical test results can help ensure that once a diagnosis is made, the results get to the right care team members.

For this Assignment, you will conduct research to find some type of technology and its potential to improve healthcare in some regard. This can be a piece of equipment, device, implant, software, and/or other technology. You will describe how it can prevent patient harm, produce better outcomes, and meet IOM domains. You will also determine if the selected technology provides data that can be used in performance metrics.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Find a resource regarding a new technology or new equipment used in healthcare that improves quality and/or patient safety.

Write a 1- to 2-page paper.

In your paper:

  • Describe the new piece of equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology discussed in the scholarly resource that you selected.
  • Explain how the new equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology improves quality and/or patient safety.
  • Explain which of the IOM domains or National Patient Safety Goals are improved by the equipment, device, implant, software, or other technology discussed in the scholarly resource that you selected.
  • Identify any data collection the technology performs. If data are collected, describe how the data can be used for quality or safety purposes. If the device does not collect data, propose data that you think your device should collect and how the proposed data could be used for quality or safety purposes.

Support your work with specific citations from sources, as appropriate. Your citations must be in APA format.

History by Herodotus Discussion

/in /by

Critical thinking skills assignment: You will apply those questions to any source you want from the Course Reader, found in the Announcement section on Canvas. Choose any source we have read so far, from page 1-36. You may want to choose Plato’s Allegory of the Cave because I spent a lot of time contextualizing that source in class.

Your task for the critical thinking skills assignment will be to analyze a primary source from the

Course Reader. The essay should be 1 – 2 pages. It should answer the questions, who, what,

when and why? It is recommended you use this format:

Introduction: Who? When?

Next 1-2 paragraphs: What? What does the primary source say?

Next 1-2 paragraphs: Contextualize the primary source. Why does the author write what he/she

does? What historical events and trends are shaping the author’s perspective? This the

challenging part.

Innovations in combat, weaponry, transportation, communication, logistics, and many more would drastically alter the face of modern warfare.

As your initial post, describe which industrial era trend or innovation you consider to have most profoundly affected warfare during the mid- to late 1800s and the first decade of the 1900s. As part of your assessment, be sure to discuss how that trend or innovation debuted and/or impacted a particular war of the era.”
