Comtemporary Nursing Practice Discussion

The field of nursing has changed over time. In a 750-1,000 word   paper, discuss nursing practice today by addressing the following:

  1. Explain how nursing practice has changed over time and how     this evolution has changed the scope of practice and the approach to     treating the individual.
  2. Compare and contrast the     differentiated practice competencies between an associate and     baccalaureate education in nursing. Explain how scope of practice     changes between an associate and baccalaureate nurse.
  3. Identify a patient care situation and describe how nursing care,     or approaches to decision-making, differ between the BSN-prepared     nurse and the ADN nurse.
  4. Discuss the significance of     applying evidence-based practice to nursing care and explain how the     academic preparation of the RN-BSN nurse supports its   application.
  5. Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with     interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more     effective patient outcomes.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.c

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
