    Purpose

    Per the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AANC, 2021), advanced practice nurses are responsible for advancing the scholarship of nursing by disseminating one’s scholarship to diverse audiences using a variety of approaches or modalities. Additionally, they should translate evidence into practice.

    The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and synthesize prior course information about current and emerging practice issues, scope of practice, licensure, ethical issues, legal parameters, national benchmarks, and quality improvement and safety impacting the student’s chosen future APRN role (AGACNP, FNP, PMHNP, Nurse Leader).

    Assignment

    Students will present a voice-over PowerPoint Presentation about an issue of their choice within the context of their chosen future advanced practice role. You may use information from content you presented in prior DB posts. If you need inspiration for a topic, you could consider

    • Nurse turnover, job satisfaction, environment
    • Patient flow/throughput
    • Admissions/discharges/transfers
    • Device utilization (be specific about device type)
    • Technology (be specific about the technology)
    • Safety: patient falls, near misses, errors, restraints, drug resistant organisms, ventilator associated events, workplace violence

  • Negotiating the Nurse Practitioner Employment Contract

    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.

    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.

    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? Please create a powerpoint and also write notes in a note area so I can present it please.

  • Module 2 Comment 2 Phil

    For the qualitative study, I selected Stone, Wainwright, and Guest (2025), a systematic review examining social influences

    on transitions to or from long-term (chronic) pain. The research purpose to explore how social factors shape patients

    experiences aligns directly with a qualitative synthesis design, which is appropriate for integrating multiple qualitative

    findings. The review included 71 studies with 1,291 participants, ensuring a broad representation of perspectives; this

    sampling strategy provided sufficient depth for thematic analysis but was limited by the primary studies heterogeneity.

    Data collection in the original studies involved interviews, focus groups, and diaries, while the review applied rigorous

    thematic synthesis to combine findings across studies. Trustworthiness was addressed through double coding, iterative

    analysis, and transparent inclusion criteria, enhancing credibility, dependability, and reflexivity. Ethical considerations

    were accounted for at the primary study level, and the review ensured that only ethically conducted research was

    included. Overall, the study provides rich insights into the social context of chronic pain, contributing to nursing theory

    and informing patient-centered interventions (Stone et al., 2025).

    For the quantitative study, I selected Ntenkaire, Mukasa, Muwanguzi, Mikka, and Lunkuse et al. (2026), a mixed-method

    study investigating attrition and associated factors among patients on chronic antihypertensive therapy at Mulago

    Hospital, Uganda. The research purposeto identify prevalence and predictors of therapy attritionaligns with a

    quantitative approach embedded within a mixed-methods design, which allows measurement and statistical analysis. The

    study included 400 patients, providing an adequate sample size for multivariable analysis and statistical power. Data

    collection involved structured questionnaires, medical record review, and objective clinical measurements. Analysis used

    logistic regression to identify factors associated with attrition, supporting internal validity. Reliability was strengthened

    through the use of validated instruments and standardized procedures, while validity was supported by controlling for

    potential confounders. Ethical considerations were carefully addressed, including informed consent, institutional ethical

    approval, and participant confidentiality. The study provides actionable evidence to guide interventions aimed at

    improving adherence and chronic disease outcomes (Ntenkaire et al., 2026).

    Comparison:

    Qualitative and quantitative research contribute complementary knowledge. The qualitative review emphasizes lived

    experiences, social context, and patient-centered insights, using rigor and trustworthiness to ensure credible findings

    (Stone et al., 2025). The quantitative study emphasizes measurable outcomes, reliability, and validity, generating evidence

    to support interventions and policy (Ntenkaire et al., 2026). Both approaches are essential for comprehensive evidence-

    based nursing practice.

    Reflection:

    Understanding both qualitative and quantitative designs strengthens my ability as a nurse practitioner to integrate patient

    experiences with measurable outcomes. This dual perspective enhances clinical decision-making, supports evidence-

    based interventions, and promotes holistic, patient-centered care that improves adherence and health outcomes (Stone et

    al., 2025; Ntenkaire et al., 2026).
