Class 7 Unit 3 Assignment
SCHOOL OF NURSING
MN507: Contract for Group Projects in Units 3, 6, and 9
Unit 2 Assignment
You will be working on a group project that has three parts. Choose a name for your group. You need to divide the work and make accommodations if someone gets sick or has family issues. Part of Interprofessional practice is being able to identify policy issues and develop strategies to facilitate needed changes and bring these issues to the public’s attention. This generally cannot be done alone. Working as a group is more effective in bringing about change. As an advanced practice nurse you need to start incorporating activism into your practice.
Use the template and work as a group to complete the contract and submit in the unit 10 group area.
As group members Gabrielle Kulig, Stephanie Anderson, Jeannie Beaver, & Liu Cuan assigned to Group E, we agree to work together to complete the project on time. We understand the requirements of the project include a thorough discussion of the following issues:
Unit 3 Assignment: You will do your work on a template.
1. Each member of the group must identify their state legislators' addresses and phone numbers.
2. The group will decide on a policy issues that needs to be addressed. See Unit 3 assignment instructions for suggestions. This policy issue will be used in the unit 3, 6, & 9 assignments.
3. The group will write a letter to one of the legislators outlining what the issue is and why it is important. The letter will address:
· The current policy structure.
· The need for the change.
· The role the nurse as a change agent will take at the policy table.
Unit 6 Debate Assignment:
· The group will be divided--one side will be for the policy change the other side will be against the policy change. Include in the debate the effects the policy change will have on stakeholders.
· Each side will create a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation and use Movenote and create an 8-10 minute podcast to debate the side you have chosen. The other half of the group will debate the other side. The group will have a total of two (2) podcasts--one for the policy change the other against. The arguments must be convincing. You must include the link to the presentations and a transcript of the arguments.
Unit 9 Abstract & Position Paper:
You will search for a scholarly journal to publish your abstract and position paper. You will follow the journal guidelines for creating a position paper except the word count will be 1200-1800 words excluding the Abstract, Title page and References. You will create an Abstract as if this were going to be published. You will write the position paper on your chosen policy change as if you were writing for the journal. See assignment instructions for content of the paper.
