MRU promote our nursing students to develop cultural competence that enables them to deliver healthcare to diverse populations. These experiences empower nursing graduates to meet people where they are at, honoring their cultural beliefs and providing equitable care. By fostering cultural connections within our communities, community colleges and the associate degree nursing pathway contribute to the growth of graduates who are not only skilled healthcare professionals but also compassionate global citizens.

Nurses are responsible for creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment for all patients. Still, transgender and gender-nonconforming patients continue to face healthcare prejudices and feel unwelcome in healthcare environments. To provide gender-affirming holistic nursing care requires a paradigm shift from a gender-binary to a gender-inclusive world view with continual ongoing self-assessment for bias. Nurses must learn more about gender transition and gender-affirming care to engage in therapeutic gender-affirming care.

Assignment Instructions

Create a Power Point describing concepts of diversity, equity, inclusion and/or social determinants of health. Explain how a nurse might provide culturally congruent care by been culturally competent, having culture sensitivity, cultural knowledge, and using cultural assessment. Mention the Relationship between Nursing culturally congruent care and community engagement. How a nurse could affirm gender identity in nursing care: benefits, barriers, and best practices. The student will create a power point with a minimum of 3 slides for issues objective criteria, for a total of minimum 12 slides (Content slides, no including pictures, introduction, or references). All slides must include citations of reference used. Remember references should be from 5 years or less. The Power Point should include key elements identified to substantiate your presentation and provide appropriate references.

This assignment will count as an additional 5 % toward your final course score. The rubric will describe the evaluation method and score based on major concepts related to Culture, ethnicity, social, and gender differences.

NEGOTIATING THE NURSE PRACTITIONER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACt

I WOULD LIKE TO ER OR PCP, ALSO I NEED A SCRIPT ON WHAT TO SAY DURING MY VIDEO THAT NEEDS TO BE UP TO 20 MINUTES, I ALSO NEED 3 CIATIONS

If you could work at the practice of your dreams, what would that look like? How would you negotiate that dream job contract?

Graduating from nurse practitioner school is an exciting time of accomplishment. However, its also time to turn dreams into reality and begin your search for the perfect job. Being passionate about the specialty you would like to go into, and the impact you would like to have on your community and profession are all important aspects of landing a job. After all, attitude can be everything to a future employer, but there are some things to consider before your job search and interview: The type of practice that would work best for you (and your family), and the position contract you will negotiate.

For this assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint Presentation (8-10 slides) answering the questions listed in Parts 1 and 2 of the assignment. The presentation is to be recorded in your own words, as if you were presenting it to your instructor. You are to use the audio produced by PowerPoint and not an Mp3 file.

You are to follow the 10/20/30 rule for presentations: no more than 10 slides, presentation not longer than 20 minutes, and text is not lower than 30-point font.

RESOURCES

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.
Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.

To Prepare:

• Review the weekly resources.
• Seek out professional resources on contract negotiations.
• Review the FNP scope of practice for your state.
• Seek out local NP organizations to assess which organizations would best fit your needs.

BY DAY 7

Submit the recorded PowerPoint presentation. (This assignment does not need to be submitted through Turnitin) but you must have a reference slide to support your thoughts and ideas.

For Part 1 of this assignment:

1. Discuss the type of practice and setting you would like to work out of (specialty, family, geriatrics, hospital, nursing home, hospice, urgent care, etc.). What makes for an ideal work environment? What type of support system and staff do you need? What services do you see yourself providing? What services are you NOT willing to or are not comfortable providing?
2. How will you meet your CME requirements while practicing at this setting? How will you keep track of your CME hours?
3. What nursing organization(s) interest you in joining, and how will joining an organization benefit you at your position?
4. Once you have met the requirements for autonomy in your state while working at your current position, and for those of you who practice in a lifetime of collaboration state, assume you will one day have autonomy. How will you maintain your collaborative relationships with other nurse practitioners you have worked with, the practitioners you have referred to, as well as your collaborative physician?

Part 2 of the assignment:

Youve just been offered a position at the perfect job you discussed in Part 1 of the assignment.

Besides focusing on patients, reaching a fair and equitable contract that includes not only your salary and benefits but expectations of your patient load, the amount of time you will be spending at the clinic or a health care setting, and the services you will be providing, will affect how you feel about your job over time. Its time now to consider the positions job offer.

Part 2:

1. What questions should you ask your potential future employer about the offer?
2. What salary and bonus structure are acceptable to you?
3. How can you figure out your net worth for the practice?
4. If you are expected to take call, what percentage of your salary is reasonable toward this activity?
5. List the benefits you should negotiate into your contract.
6. Discuss the practice expectations with your employer. How can you be sure that you are being asked to practice within the scope of your practice?
