Nurse to Patient Ratios Legislature in Pennsylvania
Students will focus on a health care issue where legislation has been proposed or passed and thoroughly research the topic. The problem is to be discussed with evidence of related scholarly literature on the issue. If possible a copy of the bill passed on the issue should be attached to the paper. The student will take a position on the issue citing the literature supporting the stated position. In addition, students may choose a legislator or nurse leader active in health care policy to contact and interview on the related issue. The conclusion of the formal position paper should include the student’s vision on how the issue can be resolved (action plan) and what could be the potential outcomes. Proposed resolutions must include feasible economic solutions as well.
