As a current and future advanced practice nurse, you are and will continue to serve as an agent of change in all you do. Think about the positive impacts you have on patient care, the organization and nursing practice<\/a> in which you work, and the community in which you serve. How will earning the DNP degree not only support your advocacy for positive social change but, in its own right, represent a commitment toward fostering innovation for change in nursing practice?<\/p>\n For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and reflect on how you, as a current and future advanced practice nurse, will strive for and commit to advocacy for positive social change. Consider how your current nursing practice experiences and future opportunities will further support your role as an agent of change.<\/p>\n communities, and the profession.<\/li>\n Post<\/strong>\u00a0an explanation of how you anticipate enacting personal and professional commitment for advocacy to positively impact your patients, communities, and the profession. Be specific. Then, explain how your role as a DNP-prepared nurse contributes to advocacy for positive social change.<\/p>\n Read<\/strong>\u00a0a selection of your colleagues\u2019 responses and\u00a0respond<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0at least two<\/strong>\u00a0of your colleagues on\u00a0two different days<\/strong>\u00a0by expanding upon your colleague\u2019s post or suggesting an alternative approach for enacting positive social change as a DNP-prepared nurse.<\/p>\n Week 11 Blog Rubric<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week 11 Blog<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations! After you have finished all of the assignments for this week, you have completed the course. Please submit your Course Evaluation by Day 7.<\/em><\/p>\n When you think of an advocate for social change, what comes to mind? As it impacts the role of a nurse, how does a nurse present advocacy for promoting social change?<\/p>\n Throughout this course, you have considered and reflected on how the DNP-prepared nurse advocates for positive social change, whether that stems from direct patient-level care or more broadly to that of community-level or population-based actions to promote nursing practice and healthcare delivery.<\/p>\n As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will also function as a nurse leader in identifying and serving as a champion of those nursing practice and healthcare-related issues that merit transformation. In what ways will your advocacy and leadership impact the patients, communities, and populations you serve?<\/p>\n This week, you analyze the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in promoting advocacy for social change. In your Blog Assignment, you and your colleagues will have the opportunity to share your perspectives and examine your role for positive leadership and you continue your program of study.<\/p>\n Required Readings\u00a0(click to expand\/reduce)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A DNP-prepared nurse engages in various aspects of care to improve patient outcomes. One of such is advocacy. A DNP-prepared nurse can be an advocate for the patients, the profession, and communities. Therefore, it is vital to enact personal and professional commitment for advocacy that can bring positive impacts (Chism, 2021). As an individual and a professional, I envision using the knowledge and skills I have acquired to influence policy decisions affecting my patients, the community, and the profession. With the knowledge obtained, I will use an expert’s voice to influence legislators to pass favorable regulations and laws. Besides, I plan to assume leadership roles at influential leadership roles that can positively influence care decisions to support positive health outcomes among patients and communities and promote the nursing profession. For example, taking up leadership roles that would enable me to sit at the State Board of Nurses to be in a position to influence decisions.<\/p>\n A DNP-prepared nurse also contributes to advocacy for positive social change in several ways. One way to contribute to advocacy for positive social change is through conducting innovative research (Mathieson et al., 2019). With the research skills obtained as a DNP-prepared nurse, I will be able to conduct and understand specific care aspects of various communities, especially the marginalized and vulnerable communities, identify opportunities for positive social change and help trigger the necessary strategies for the change (De Chesnay & Anderson, 2019). I will also seek to partner and collaborate with various community interest groups and offer expert service for fuelling positive social change. In such an environment, one of the roles I can undertake is helping the groups to formulate advocacy plans and help them implement the plans. Therefore, DNP-prepared nurses play a critical role in advocacy for patients, communities, and the profession in addition to a positive social change.<\/p>\n Chism, L. A.
