Paraphrazing this work for me.

An advocacy letter is a way to influence the ideas and views of legislators or
decision makers within an organization. It allows the writer to maintain contact
with the legislator or decision maker, to keep the issue high on the priority list when
the writer cannot meet with them personally.

Discuss a social, political, or economic factor that has influenced the development of professional nursing in the United States.

Support your answer by including two references: 

1) one reference from an English-titled, peer-reviewed nursing journal (less than five years old) 

2) one from the course textbook.

Reflection 6

Purpose

Often, after a class is done for the week, we drop it and move on. The goal of reflection assignments is to encourage you to reflect on what we did in class that week, after the class to consolidate your learning. There will be specific prompts for you to answer; sometimes this is a reflective assignment, and other times it is more of an application assignment (e.g., given a case example and having to apply something from class). The hope is that this will help you to use what you have learned to ensure concepts “stick” or to think critically about your response to what was learned.

Task

Respond to the following prompt and upload your Word document. It should be 1-2 pages and will be due
11:59 p.m. Friday.

Reflection #6

Sometimes it is helpful to provide information about the brain and neurobiology during psychoeducation with clients. Some clients are more or less interested in this, but for those who are interested, it can often be quite validating to know there may be physiological differences they are experiencing in response to stress.

Imagine that you wanted to provide psychoeducation to your client about some aspects of neurobiology as it relates to PTSD. Write out what you might say: (1) to an adult, and (2) to a child. If you would accompany visual images with this, you do not need to draw them, but could describe what they would include. Be sure to provide a bridge to what this information tells us about how we might work with them or what we might need to do to help them.

They would not need to know the level of detail we have covered, of course, so do not feel a need to explain everything!

Grading Criteria

I'm really not looking to take off points for the reflection assignments. I don't have specific rubrics for them, but if you do not seem to be engaging with the prompt or answering the questions, I may take off points. Each reflection assignment is worth
5 points.

There are two parts to this discussion.  The first is to consider scholarship in nursing. The second is to reflect on your MSN education to date.

Initial Post:

Part 1: Briefly discuss what is described in Chapter 20 as ” the scholarship of teaching in nursing.”  What is the difference between scholarship in teaching in nursing and scholarly teaching? How will you demonstrate scholarship in your nursing practice and future career in education? How can you best prepare for it?

For your references, review Teaching in Nursing and the Role of the Nurse Educator, Chapters 19 and 20 and find an additional professional nursing source. 

Part 2: You will soon be taking the capstone course and graduating with a master’s degree in nursing. Reflect on what you have learned in your education and leadership courses thus far. How has your understanding of the educator and leadership roles in nursing changed?  What has impacted you the most?  How do you envision using this information and/or degree in your career? What would you like to learn more about through additional formal or informal learning?
