Applying the principles from the Nursing Leadership and
Health Policy learning modules students will explore the role of the
Registered Nurse Leader in policy advocacy. Groups of two to three
students will create a policy challenge presentation with a focus on
collaboration. All members must participate to earn points. Each group
member will receive an individual grade for the assignment and will
participate in a rated peer evaluation of each group member. The final
grade for each student will be based upon the presentation and peer
evaluations and determined by the course professor. The course
professor will randomly assign students to a group and post the assigned
groups and student names in a course announcement in week one. Contact
peers in your assigned group by university email in week one to begin
planning and collaborating on the project between weeks one and seven.
Directions:
Interview a nurse leader from a professional nursing organization to collect ideas for the project.
Utilize your readings, research and resources to build the
content. This should be a collaborative team process. Divide the
workload for the project in an equitable manner among team members.
Each group will design a voice- narrated Powerpoint or
Prezi to create a presentation and provide an overview of a grassroots
policy challenge (present or past) that the identified organization
supports. The policy challenge can be a local, state or federal policy
issue. Create a title slide or page with the full names of each group
member. Include a final slide or page with key references cited in APA
7th ed. format.
Each presentation should be between 5-10 minutes in
length. Rehearse and time the presentation in advance to ensure that the
10-min. time limit is not exceeded.
One person from each assigned group will post the group signature assignment for his/her group as an attachment in the week seven discussion forum on or before Day 3, Week 7.
Each team member will submit his or her group powerpoint
presentation individually in the D2L assignment upload box for grading.
Each presentation will need to include (but is not limited to):
Brief description of the policy challenge the team has chosen and the nursing association that was identified.
Describe the “Agenda” for the identified policy challenge.
Include how the policy issue was identified, (Did the organization
complete a review of the literature, an environmental scan and/or a SWOT
analysis, etc.?)
Brief description of key stakeholders (those who will be
affected and those who can effect change), ie, interest groups,
opposition groups/individuals or coalitions.
List the different strategies that the organization plans
to or has already used to inform/lobby legislators, ie, e-mail campaign,
in-person visit, testimony, protest, etc.
List and describe any non-legislative strategies that were used or plan to be used to support the initiative.
Describe where this policy challenge is in the legislative process and its implications for the future.
