Nursing homework

Consider the following scenario:

Marcus recalls the beginning of his career, when he started as a nurse at Grand View Hospital. He had heard the organization was soliciting proposals from various companies so they could weigh the pros and cons associated with adopting a new health information technology system. He has been curious about the request for proposal (RFP) process ever since. Now, as he looks forward to new professional opportunities, he would like to ensure that he develops the skills and expertise needed to formulate an RFP.

What are your professional aims? How can you apply what you have learned in your coursework to your practicum setting? How will you leverage your experiences in the practicum to facilitate your development as a nurse leader-manager or informaticist?

In this Discussion, you reflect on your aspirations and consider the transitions that may be required to achieve them. You identify professional development objectives and evaluate opportunities for achieving them through your experiences in the practicum.

  • Think about the professional role changes you have been undergoing or that you may undertake following completion of this MSN program.
  • Review the information related to professional development and role change in the Learning Resources, and conduct additional research as necessary to address any questions or concerns you may have.
  • Consider the following questions:
    • What types of professional positions interest you? Are they significantly different from the types of positions you have held in the past? If so, how?
    • What challenges are you likely to encounter as you transition into a new role?
    • What resources could help you to manage this change? Consider your inner resources (e.g., drawing on previous experiences, stress management), resources available to you through your relationships with others, and institutional supports.
  • Consider how you could use this Practicum Experience to apply what you have learned and enhance or acquire specialization skills and knowledge, regardless of whether you intend to change roles or stay in your current position for the time being.
  • Review the NURS 6600 Course Outcomes listed in the Syllabus. Determine how your experiences in the practicum could help you to achieve one or more of these outcomes.
  • Review the information in the Introduction to the Practicum (in this week’s Practicum area) and the School of Nursing Practicum Manual as necessary to ensure you have a clear understanding of the practicum requirements.
  • Review the suggestions for developing effective learning objectives provided in the Learning Resources.
  • Think of two or three objectives that could help guide your professional development during your practicum. These objectives, referred to as your practicum professional development objectives, must be:
    • Specific
    • Measurable
    • Attainable
    • Results-focused
    • Time-focused
    • Reflective of the higher-order domains of Bloom’s Taxonomy (i.e., Application level and above)
  • Select one or more practicum professional development objectives to focus on for this Discussion. (You may continue to hone these objectives as you work on this week’s Application Assignment.)
  • Reflect on how you could achieve each objective through your Practicum Experience.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of your professional aspirations and how you intend to use the Practicum Experience to promote career change and/or enhance your performance. Describe at least one objective to facilitate your professional growth, and explain the steps you could take to achieve the objective(s) during your Practicum Experience. Support your response with examples from the literature.

From the , Urban Institute’s Health Policy Center Website to analyze at least two (2) primary economic assumptions and examine their short- and long-term impact on promoting the competitive market model in the healthcare environment.

Provide at least one (1) example of such factors to support your response.
Take a position on whether or not monopolistic competition works within a healthcare setting. Support for your position should include a discussion of the monopoly model being used to predict the allocation of resources in healthcare markets within preferred provider organizations.

Competency

Devise risk mitigation strategies in financial management.

Scenario

You are the manager of the procurement department in a large manufacturing firm. Part of the work your department does involves processing purchase orders, material receipts, and other documentation related to the purchasing activities for eventual payment by the accounts payable department.
Your team members, in addition to processing and reviewing the various documents (hard copies and/or electronic versions), track metrics around purchasing. These metrics include items such as the number of orders by vendor, spending by expense category and functional department, inventory levels, etc. Your team can also report and track information by person such as who requested purchases, who received materials, and who approved invoices to go to accounts payable for payment.
Because of the nature of work in your department and the metrics that are tracked, your team members can play a role in preventing and detecting fraud, helping to reduce financial risk for the company. However, none of the team have been trained on internal control concepts. You currently have no funds available in your budget to pay for training and must create your own materials for the team to learn from and use for reference.

Instructions

Create an infographic that contains information about internal control concepts. The infographic will have three sections – one each for preventative, detective, and corrective controls. In each section, include information on two specific internal control tactics or methods that fall under the category type and that are applicable to the work performed in the department.
The infographic should also include a title and introductory summary statement. Cite all sources of information using APA style at the bottom of the infographic in smaller font.
