Role Of Advance Nursing Week 1 DQ

On the Discussion Board we will be exploring conceptual models.

Hamric’s Integrative Model of Advance Practice Nursing

The AACN Synergy Model

Strong Memorial Hospital’s Model of Advance Practice Nursing

Shuler’s Model of Nurse Practitioner Practice

This week you will describe how these models may help APNs articulate professional role identify and function. Conceptual models will serve as a framework for organizing beliefs and knowledge about your professional roles and competencies and provide a basis for further development of knowledge.

Question: Select one model from the above list and read the original source description. Address how well the model meets the following purposes:

a. Helping to organize your beliefs and knowledge about advanced practice nursing

b. Providing structure for research on advanced practice nursing

c. Providing a coherent structure in which concepts important to advanced practice nursing are identified and related to one another

d. Guiding curriculum development for advanced practice nursing

e. Allowing practitioners to see the bigger picture so that they can provide holistic and comprehensive care

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. You are not writing an APA paper–but citing your sources in APA format.

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.
