Emancipatory Nursing Leadership in the 21st Century

To Complete This Assignment, You Will:

Identify a nursing/healthcare-related problem from either your senior practicum, previous clinical experience, or a specific population of interest. You will then examine, interrogate, and analyze the root cause (upstream causes) of your identified problem- a necessary step in developing any effective solution. After determining the upstream causes of your identified problem, you will then design and articulate a nurse-driven solution. However, in order to actualize your identified solution, you will first need to describe the requisite leadership traits and characteristics that will be required to turn your solution into a reality. Below you will find an outline of the paper, and the tasks you should follow for each section to be successful.

Paper Length: 12-15 Pages (excluding title page, references, and appendices -if applicable), double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font

      1. Articulate the root of the problem and describe how it is framed in the literature
      2. Describe the most significant societal, economic, environmental, and political factors that contribute to the problem as you see it.

      2. Provide a rationale for choosing this framework
      3. Describe in detail how the leadership model makes sense given the historical roots of the problem you have identified in the section above and the action plan you propose in the next section.
      4. Describe how you see yourself as a leader utilizing your selected framework in practice
4. Emancipatory Vision & Action Plan 30% (approx. 4-5 pages)

      1. Describe the future scenario of the nurse, patients, and the organization that you would most like to see unfold and why
      2. Describe specific changes that should be promoted to alleviate the problem you have identified in detail and how they would be implemented. These should be grounded in the literature as much as possible.
      3. Describe how you would prioritize and enact these changes and the resources you would need to make this happen.
      4. Describe what a timeframe for change looks like.
5. Conclusion (approx. 1 page)
