NRS-427V Week 5: Concepts in Community and Public Health
The RN to BSN program at meets the requirements for clinical competencies as
defined by CCNE and AACN using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses.
These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in
which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their
hospital organization, their specific care discipline and their local communities.
As the country focuses on the restructure of the U.S. health care delivery system,
nurses will continue to play an important role. It is expected that more and more
nursing jobs will become available out in the community, and less will be available
in acute care hospitals.
Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses about how the
practice of nursing is expected to grow and changes. Include the concepts of
continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical
homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or department and
ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated changes to health care
delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics and
medical homes.
In 800-1,000 words summarize the responses shared by three nurse colleagues
and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have
researched about health reform.
A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic
writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using
