PDR-242476 Philosphical perspective with the DNP role Objective: The purpose of the next 2-weeks is to develop a personal nursing philosophy from the perspective as a DNP. Written Assignment: Personal Philosophy Paper: Develop a short (4-6 page) paper excluding a title page and references. The aim of this paper is to develop your nursing philosophical perspective with the DNP role. The first part of your paper will define your nursing philosophy using the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm. The last part of the paper demonstrates how attainment of the DNP reflects your nursing philosophy related to a theorist/theory. A stellar paper (an A paper) clearly demonstrates that a nursing philosophical framework provides the framework for attaining the DNP. Incorporating a nursing theorist is not required unless your philosophy of nursing includes one and you believe it adds or is essential to completing the DNP. A clear connection to nursing science and nursing’s major philosophical concepts (person, environment, caring, health, nursing, transitions, other) is required. The paper should demonstrate a level of comfort or fluency with the subject matter. A stellar paper is well organized, fluid, a joy to read, without spelling or grammatical errors and within the page range (title page, references do not count). Be careful with overuse of first person as well as “this author”. This is a paper that is about your personal perspective, but stellar papers will convey a sense of personal perspective and will avoid the use of “I or me” (first person and “this author”). Accurate use of APA 6th ed. format is expected.

Please read Rubrics attached Overview The purpose of the three ungraded worksheets for this course is to assist the student in identifying the key pieces of information necessary for completing the assignments and meeting the course outcomes. See the corresponding rubric for specific grading criteria and point breakdown. Do not upload the worksheet; the purpose of the worksheet is to support the rubric. For this course, the student must first select a healthcare issue. The issue must be a public-health policy issue. Students may not use issues relevant for private organizations or institutions, such as internal policy issues. It must be an original policy; one not currently in legislation. The goal of this course is to get the student involved in healthcare-policy issues that impact the general public. This will involve a meeting with local policymakers such as city, county, and school-board officials. Students are free to work at the state or federal level as well. Students must carefully consider their particular policy issue, applicable level of government involved, course time constraints, and objectives/outcomes of the assignments. Students are to select a policy issue, research the issue including policy analysis, plan the policy, and plan meeting with a policymaker for the purpose of presenting the issue, proposing recommendations and asking questions about how change can occur. The student will reflect on the experience, develop plans for follow-up with the policymaker as needed, and consider ways in which advocacy efforts can continue. It is important that students understand that they are not responsible for ensuring the implementation of their policy issue during this eight-week course. The actual implementation of policy changes can take extended periods of time. The student’s responsibility in this course is to plan a meeting with a policymaker and, based on the student’s research of the policy issue come up with a proposition or recommendation to address the issue and then have an initial meeting with a policymaker, ideally in person but alternatively via telephone, videoconferencing, or use of other technology. Be sure to examine all three ungraded worksheets and assignments, including the actual scoring rubrics, now. This ungraded worksheet directly relates to and impacts all ungraded worksheets and graded assignments related to this course. Information noted on the worksheets become part of the graded assignment.
