Regulation for Nursing practice

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.

To Prepare:

Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organization or agency.
Review the NCSBN and ANA websites to prepare for your presentation.
The Assignment: (8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation)

Develop a 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint Presentation that addresses the following:

Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association.
Describe the board for your specific region/area.
Who is on the board?
How does one become a member of the board?
Describe at least one state regulation related to general nurse scope of practice.
How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?
Describe at least one state regulation related to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).
How does this regulation influence the nurse’s role?
How does this regulation influence delivery, cost, and access to healthcare?

Identify a community health-related knowledge deficit.-what questions would you ask; if it is a quiz,

Develop a Community-focused Teaching Project that takes 15-20 minutes to present and 10 minutes to assess outcomes (30 minutes total). Be sure teaching materials are attractive and at a lay person/community level, and that your resources are from reputable healthcare sources. Be sure your presentation demonstrates your advocacy for your community audience’s health. Consider diversity and how this topic may impact under-represented groups.

Identify a community health-related knowledge deficit.

Educate yourself on the issue related to this knowledge deficit. Talk with someone in the community about the needs related to this deficit and include their name and role as a citation in your text (not in references). Consider community outcomes as a result of the knowledge deficit. Contemplate on what results you would like to see from your audience when you present this teaching project.

Write 3-5 learning objectives (Slide 2)

Include the url as a citation for each pictures/graphic. For content, place citation(s) at bottom of slide (not on each row) You may use a smaller font size for the url’s and citations.

Research the topic and include at least 3 professional patient resources (organizations such as American Heart Assn, American Cancer Society, Mayo Clinic, etc.). Also include at least 3 references on the last slide and be sure there are matching citations (at the bottom of the slides) for each reference – these may be the same but need to be listed on separate pages. Don’t forget hanging indents for your references.

Develop a power point of up to 20 slides, making the 1st slide the title (which should include the title and your identified audience), 2nd slide the objectives, and the last 1-2 slides references. Font should be 18-24 and leave white space on each slide so it is easy to read – be sure your font is consistent throughout the presentation. A general rule is 1 slide per minute of narration. Consider teamwork, collaboration, and diversity as a way to promote population health for the presentation topic.

Complete sentences are not necessary

All information does not have to be on the slide because you talk while showing the slides. You may add your talking information in the footer section below the main content if it isn’t on the main slide.

Use black ink on a plain white background. Do not use fancy fonts as they are difficult to read, and shadow text prevents from assessing your presentation. Use upper and lower case.

Include pictures for interest – they must be cited with the url on each slide or in the box below the slide even if you have a license to use the graphics. About 8 pictures should be included.

Remember your references need hanging indents. How to format hanging indents in power point. (Links to an external site.)

Consider how you can assess what your audience learned and develop that assessment tool. For example: if it is teach-back, what questions would you ask; if it is a quiz, write the quiz and include it with your presentation. Be sure the assessment tool evaluates what you wanted the community to learn as written in your learning objectives.
