Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is for learners to:

• Develop professional presentation/communication skills.
• Demonstrate an advancing understanding of the political landscape of APN practice.
• Demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature and be able to disseminate the information orally.
• Demonstrate and practice professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of peers.

Course Outcomes

1. Analyze the development of advanced practice nursing roles from a  historical perspective including the impact of advanced practice nursing  on the healthcare delivery system from the perspective of selected  current reports (i.e. LACE, IOM, etc.)
2. Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APN practice are  organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic and political  factors.

Requirements

For Week 7, there is no case study given to you by the faculty.  Instead, you will be creating a recorded presentation that demonstrates  your understanding of LACE principles and their influence on APN  practice. This presentation will be uploaded into the course via  Kaltura.

Address the following Topics/Questions:

• How do licensure, accreditation, certification, and education (LACE)  considerations differ for all four APN clinical roles (CNP, CNW, CRNA,  CNS) for these three states: California, Washington, and Illinois?  Provide evidence for your response.
• Discuss what evidence-based strategies should be implemented to  achieve continuity between state regulatory boards? Provide evidence for  your response.
• Is independent NP practice allowed in your state (FLORIDA)? Discuss your  opinion regarding independent NP practice in your state (FLORIDA). Should NPs be  allowed to practice independently? Provide evidence for your response.

Presentation Guidelines  : 

• The presentation should include a PowerPoint presentation which will be recorded via Kaltura.
• Students should create the PowerPoint presentation offline and then open it for use during the Kaltura recording.
• Students must practice/recording the presentation more than once to  allow for practice and mastery of the content and presentation style.  The final presentation of the Kaltura recording should be submitted  only. Do not use PowerPoint to record the presentation. 
• Students should review their presentation for clarity in audio and  sound as well as clarity in the information presented. Students should  be professionally dressed in business casual attire for the presentation  with/without a lab coat. Scrubs, sweats, denim, yoga pants, and  athletic wear are not considered business casual. Student’s face must be  visible via the webcam during the presentation.
• The presentation should be approximately 15-20 minutes in recorded  length. It will vary from student to student but should adequately  address the material.
• The presentation should contain appropriate scholarly evidence  to support the information presented per APA format. Use in-text  references and have a reference list at the end of the presentation.
• PowerPoint slides should be used as cues to topics and key concepts  without lengthy sentences and paragraphs- reading information from  slides is not professional and therefore not acceptable.
• A professional presentation includes an introduction both of  yourself and of the topic, the touch points of information you’re going  to discuss as well as a conclusion.
• Students may use any type and size font that works for their  presentation. Slides should include bullet points you intend to cover,  4-5 bullet points per slide. The bullet points should be expanded upon  with oral information. Direct quotes and paragraphs are discouraged.  Speaker notes may be included in the presentation or used by the  presenter as a side-reference.
• The student’s oral presentation should demonstrate a clear  understanding of all concepts along with specific examples to represent  concepts.

Technology Requirements

The presentation must be recorded using Kaltura.
