NURS 8100 DNP ASSSIGNMENT: GLOBAL INITIATIVES

In your Week 8 Discussion, you considered policy issues affecting nurses on a national scale. However, what about on a global scale? What issues are affecting healthcare on a global level? What initiatives are addressing these issues and/or impacting the field of nursing?

While it can be easy to focus specifically on our practice and organization, healthcare is a global practice. And considering the impact of global initiatives, and policy issues affecting nurses on a global scale can help us to better understand, remedy, connect, and even prepare for current or potential national issues.

For this Assignment, you will identify a global initiative impacting the nursing profession. You will defend, with evidence, your selection and discuss the impact.
