As an aspiring DNP and native to a rural community myself, what is the most pressing issue plaguing rural communities that can we combat with policy? #NUR4108LC #M4W12TL I am interested in the Stark Law because it ensure patients receive unbiased healthcare.

As a RN leader I would approach my superiors with a perspective of practicality and personal experience. No one knows the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of policies better than the ones that implement them on a daily basis. #NUR4108TL #M3W8

A patient’s DNR status is featured prominently in their EMR to draw the attention of every member of the patients care team. The streamlined status across anyone who accesses the chart allows for less mistakes to be made on the patients status. #NUR4108TL #M4W11

I can join the ANA’s priority of workplace violence prevention through a letter writing campaign to representatives that can change law and policy! It is important that our politicians know the perspective of the front line workers they serve. #NUR4108TL #W10

The social determinant of health involving social and community context can be advocated by the nurse through initiating outreach/public health events in the community. This is advocacy on the regional level. #NUR4108TL #W9

The stakeholders in my fall-prevention policy would be hospital administration, nursing staff, and patients. #NUR4108TL #W7

Bills #HB111 and #SB424 are pending bills moving to allow APRNs to practice autonomously, or without physician supervision. According to my findings, these bills should be supported because they allow for more HCPs, which allows more patients to be seen sooner. #NUR4108TL #W6

The federal regulation of medication production was passed in 1938, stating medicines could not be put on the market without first proving they were safe. #nur4108 #W5 TL

The report presented strategies effective to prevent medical errors and increase patient safety overall. This directly impacts nursing practice in that we are the frontlines of patient interaction and satisfaction. Policy and procedure changes must start with us. #NUR4108 #W4

An interesting detail about AUPHA is that they house the Journal of Health Administration Education which addresses a variety of key issues concerning healthcare management and policy education across the world! #NUR4108TL #W3

I am interested in drug price reformation policies because as someone who has family with chronic illness, it is vital that drugs such as insulin be a price affordable to every income level. #NUR4108 #W1

My topic surrounding the misuse of the emergency department and finding ways to better distribute healthcare resources through patient education is related to quality improvement. The change takes time but is ultimately to improve patient health outcomes. #NUR3106 #M4W11

A great way to advocate for reasonable, safe, and tolerable working conditions is through sharing experiences on social media. This is a method many nurses are using these days to gain awareness and support quickly through Tik Tok, Twitter, and FaceBook. #NUR3601 #M4W10

In my future clinical practice I will be a leader. Assuming a leadership role accompanies responsibility. Accountability is in place to uphold the integrity of the responsibility of the leadership position. All three of these things cannot exist without another. #NUR3106 #M4W9

A distractor for this question might be the patient's age. I think the correct answer is D.) Pt level of consciousness because that is going to be what decides how emergent the case is and how to proceed next. #NUR3106 #M3W8

A risk with miscommunication associated with texting technology is the inability to accompany language with tone of voice. This may cause the receiver to misinterpret the intention of the content. This can be prevented through use of emoji's to indicate emotion. #NUR3106 #M3W7

One challenge to using effective communication is difference of opinion. Differing perspectives are often helpful in problem solving, but only when used appropriately. We can avoid this as an obstacle by being effective listeners. #M3W6 #NUR3106

I chose to follow @TheKatieduke because she is an nurse influencer that advocates for fellow nurses. She is also an acute care nurse practitioner, which is a career I am interested in. #M2W5 #NUR3106

Yes there was malpractice in this situation because the family and physician should have been notified at the first sign of O2 Sat decline. There was also a failure to properly document all care and collaboration regarding Mrs. H. Communication/transparency = key. #M2W4 #NUR3106
