Discussion 5: Brainstorm health policy issues

Assume that you have been invited to your state board of nursing or state nurses’ association meeting to brainstorm health policy issues:Please provide headings to make it easy for the reader and 3 references from at least 3 peer reviewed if they are articles and if they are from books provide pages and chapter of the source. All references need to be recent from 2014-2017. This is a discussion board, no first-page presentation needed. Also, I need a minimum of 600 words for the work.

Assume that you have been invited to your state board of nursing or state nurses’ association meeting to brainstorm health policy issues. The issue would be Staffing Issues.

Identify an issue that you would bring before this meeting.

What resources would you use?

What communication techniques would you use?

What agenda would you put forth?

What skills are required of you as an advance practice nurse at this meeting?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
