Overview/Description: The final assignment will synthesize what you have discovered about the different advanced practice roles and scope of practice found in the master of nursing curriculum: NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator. You will review all roles and then examine the specialty for which you were admitted, focusing on the scope of practice, core competencies, certification requirements, and legal aspects of practice for that specific role. You will also identify the practice environment and population you will be working with, as well as peers and colleagues. In addition, you will discuss your future leadership role and participation in professional organizations.

Your paper is to be based on current literature, standards of practice, core competencies, and certification bodies for your chosen role. APA format is required.

Criteria:
•Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing:
◦Compare and contrast the roles of the NP, nurse educator, nurse informaticist, and nurse administrator in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and research.
•Selected Advanced Practice Role:
◦Examine regulatory and legal requirements for the state in which you plan to practice.
◦Describe the professional organizations available for membership based on your selected role.
◦Identify required competencies, including certification requirements for your selected role.
◦Predict the organization and setting, population, and colleagues with whom you plan to work.
•Leadership Attributes of the Advanced Practice Role:

◦Identify leadership attributes you currently possess, and attributes you may need to develop.
◦Determine how to attain and evaluate those missing attributes.
•Health Policy and the Advanced Practice Role

◦Describe the current policy and what needs to change; justify your conclusions with citations from the literature.
◦Provide the process required to make the change with key players and parties of interest.
◦Explain how you could lead the effort to make or influence the change in policy.
◦Predict the effect on healthcare quality if the change in policy is implemented.

Each advanced care provider role has specific core competencies specific to the specialization. Following are links to websites describing core competencies that are relevant to the South University College of Nursing and Public Health advanced practice role specializations:
•Nondirect Care Provider Roles:
◦Nurse Administrator
◦Nurse Informaticist
•Direct Care Provider Roles:
◦Nurse Educator
◦NP (Adult, Gerontology, or Family Health)

To prepare for this assignment, review all core competencies and then provide a response review of these competencies considering the following:
•Compare and contrast the core competencies of a direct care provider advanced role and nondirect care provider advanced role. For example, if you are a nurse informaticist or nurse administrator student, compare your role’s core competencies to the NP or nurse educator core competencies. If you are a NP student or a nurse educator, compare your role’s core competencies to that of the nurse informaticist or the nurse administrator.
•Analyze the similarities and differences in implementation of the competencies within the selected roles.

To what extent do you believe that as a nation and a people we should take care of the less fortunate and “needy” members of society? How should we accomplish this? Through private donations, private support, or a combination of the two? If private donations are not sufficient, should we, through taxation, ensure that these people are cared for? Why or why not? Is it human nature to have a “me first” mentality when addressing these issues? Does it matter if the issue is abstract or concrete (meaning do people oppose high taxes that would pay for “safety net” programs but still donate to people they see who are in need)?

Today, in countries and cultures around the globe, logical fallacies are at work in advancing arguments in support, or non-support, of various moral practices. For example, the use of DNA in criminology today has dramatically changed the way arguments are made in law enforcement and judicial systems.

Today, is the argument for the death penalty valid, when tomorrow might bring new technology or knowledge that might exonerate a suspect?.

In this case you need to discuss how the death penalty IS valid.
