NRS-440V Week 4 Assignment 2: How a Bill Becomes a Law

As you have discovered through this course, nurses are influential members of the community and the political system. Therefore, for the purposes of this assignment you will identify a problem or concern in your community, organization, etc. that has the capacity to be legislated. You will conduct research and state a proposal. Through the legislative process, your proposal for the problem or concern may influence an idea for change into a law.

• First, refer to the “How a Bill Becomes a Law” media.
• http://lc.gcumedia.com/zwebassets/courseMaterialPages/nrs440v_how-a-bill-becomes-a-law-v2.1.php/.
• Then, view the “Bill to Law Process” to watch the scenario.
• After viewing the scenario, refer to the “Legislative Assignment.” You will need to save the document first in order to use it.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Pros and Cons of Mandatory Continuing Nursing Education

Introduction

Continuing nursing education, or CNE, is a way of keeping nurses up to date on medical advances. It’s also an important part of the job description for many nurses. But what can you expect from CNE? How do you choose which courses are right for you? And how does taking these classes affect your career as a nurse? We’ll answer all these questions in this article!

Continuing Nursing Education, or CNE, keeps nurses abreast of medical advances and gives them new, important skills.

Continuing Nursing Education, or CNE, is a great way to stay abreast of medical advances and learn new skills. As a nurse, you may be asked to train other nurses in your facility on how to do certain procedures or medications that have changed since you started working at the hospital. In addition to teaching others who are brand new to performing these tasks, CNE can help keep you up-to-date on what’s happening in your field—and that means more money for you!

In order for this program to work well for everyone involved (including employers), it must be structured properly: all participants must understand their roles as well as those of other participants so no one feels like she doesn’t know what’s happening around her; each participant should not only understand how much time she’ll spend working on each assignment but also how much time she will spend preparing ahead of time before starting any job assignments; etcetera.”

Some of the costs of taking classes are covered by the government.

If you’re looking for more information about continuing education, you can start by checking out the website of your state’s board of nursing. The National Conference of State Legislatures also has an online database that lists all the legislation regarding continuing education in each state.

If you have questions about funding and how it works, ask your local provider or go directly to the source: contact your local board of nursing and ask them what kind of funding is available in your area.

The process can be stressful.

The process can be stressful.

As a busy nurse, you may find it difficult to find the time or energy to take continuing nursing education (CNE) classes. Some CNE courses are offered at inconvenient times and require travel, which can make them difficult to fit into your schedule. Other courses require a lot of reading and writing, which means that you’ll have less time left over for other things in your life—like sleeping!

Nurses learn to work as a team.

The benefits of mandatory continuing nursing education include:

• Learning to work as a team. Nurses learn how to collaborate with other nurses, doctors and patients. They also learn how to work with other types of professionals (such as pharmacists), or even nonprofessionals such as family members or friends who may be experiencing similar health problems.

• Learning about new technology that could help improve patient care at their hospital or clinic. Mandatory continuing education programs often provide opportunities for nurses to attend conferences where there are presentations by experts on new technologies that could be used in their practice environment; this could include telemedicine programs, digital imaging systems and artificial intelligence software designed specifically for healthcare professionals like nurses

Nurses get the opportunity to learn new skills and apply them to their current jobs immediately.

The importance of learning new skills cannot be stressed enough. Nurses are constantly evolving, so it’s crucial that they stay up-to-date with current trends and practices in order to maintain their professional status.

Learning new skills can also help you get a promotion or even a new job if your current employer decides that you need some additional experience before being promoted. In fact, many companies offer tuition reimbursement for continuing education classes taken by their employees as part of their benefits package—and those same benefits may come into play if you want another position!

It can be expensive.

MCDC is a commitment that you’ll want to make. It takes time, money and energy to plan for and attend MCDC events.

• Books: Some books can be expensive – $100+ per book! If you don’t have a lot of money that’s not an issue but if your budget isn’t flexible then this could be an expense you need to factor into your planning process.

• Travel: Travel costs vary depending on where the event is being held but typically it will cost between $150-$200 per day for lodging and food expenses (not including airfare). These numbers might seem high but keep in mind that these are national conferences with plenty of activities going on all day long so they’re worth attending even if they’re expensive!

Nurses need to take certain courses before they begin to practice.

Nurses need to take certain courses before they begin to practice. These include:

• Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) Certification by the National Board of Medical Examiners. This is a two-year program that includes both classroom and clinical experience in a hospital setting. After completion, a nurse will be able to prescribe medication and order tests, treat patients with minor illnesses or injuries, perform surgery under anesthesia, monitor vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure during surgery; provide care for those who cannot speak or move themselves due to illness or injury; assist families with bereavement after someone dies at home; perform emergency resuscitation on someone who has stopped breathing due to cardiac arrest (cardiac arrest) which could lead up into cardiac arrest if not treated quickly enough

New contacts can lead to more job opportunities.

When you take continuing education classes, it’s important to keep in touch with your peers. You might be able to make new contacts through social media or by staying connected with old colleagues from the same organization.

It’s also beneficial if you can use LinkedIn or other sites like Facebook and Twitter that allow users to search for people based on name and job title. This way, if someone named Mary Smith were looking for a job as a nurse practitioner, she could see all the nurses who have taken the same type of course as hers!

There’s a lot of paperwork required and it can feel overwhelming.

There’s a lot of paperwork required and it can feel overwhelming. The first thing you need to do is make sure that you keep track of all the paperwork, which can be overwhelming. You need to make sure that your name is on all the forms and that they’re in order (and not just thrown into a pile). The second thing is making sure that at least one nurse from each shift knows about all mandatory continuing nursing education courses—even if they don’t have time or money for those classes themselves.

Finally, make sure you have all the right forms filled out by a qualified healthcare professional before participating in any class, even if that means paying someone else who does them all their own way instead!

Some classes may not be pertinent to your current tasks as a nurse.

Some classes may not be pertinent to your current tasks as a nurse.

If you work in a hospital setting and need to learn how to handle situations that involve patients with complex psychiatric needs, then these types of classes are not relevant for you. If this is the case, it’s best to take care of yourself by taking other non-nursing related courses while working towards additional education.

Continuing nursing education is both stressful and rewarding, but overall, it is worthwhile for the field of nursing as a whole.

Continuing nursing education is both stressful and rewarding, but overall, it is worthwhile for the field of nursing as a whole. Nurses have many responsibilities and are expected to be able to handle them all. In order to do so, they need to know their craft inside and out. Continuing education allows nurses not only to keep up with new technology but also learn how best use it in their practice areas.

In addition to staying current on trends in health care delivery systems (such as telemedicine), continuing education can help you develop new skills such as team-building or problem solving that will help you maximize your ability as an employee within your organization or institution.*

Conclusion

So, if you are considering taking CNE classes, it is understandable that you might be a little nervous about it. However, if you approach this process in the right way and take advantage of all the resources available to you, then continuing your education can be very rewarding for both yourself and your patients. There is no reason why nurses should be left behind when so many other professions have embraced technology so quickly!
