I’m working on a nursing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

· Develop your position about the individual rights to control the spread of communicable diseases for the good of society.

· Survey the role of boards of health in your community and state to determine how communicable diseases are prevented and controlled. 

I’m working on a Nursing exercise and need support.

Grandfathering is the term used to grant certain people working within the profession for a given time period or prior to a deadline date the privilege of applying for a license without having to take the licensing examination. Grandfathering clauses have been used to allow licensure for wartime nurses—those with on-the-job training and expertise—even though they did not graduate from an approved school of nursing.

Some professional nursing organizations are once again proposing that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) become the entry-level requirement for professional nursing. Some have suggested that as a concession to current associate degree in nursing and diploma-prepared nurses, all nurses who have passed the registered nursing licensure examination before the new legislation, regardless of educational preparation or experience, would retain the title of professional nurse. Non-baccalaureate-educated nurses after that time would be unable to use the title of professional nurse.

DQ: Do you believe that the “BSN as entry level” proposal advocates the advancement of the nursing profession? Is grandfathering conducive to meeting this goal? Would you personally support both proposals? Does the long-standing internal dissension about making the BSN the entry level into professional nursing reduce nursing’s status as a profession? Do lawmakers or the public understand this dilemma or care about it?

Discussion Protocol. Please observe the following 3 x 3 rule: when writing your weekly discussions: – A minimum of three paragraphs per DQ. Each paragraph should have a minimum of three sentences.

All answers or discussions comments submitted must be in APA format according to Publication Manual American Psychological Association (APA) (7th ed.)

Discussions must have a minimum of two references, not older than 2016.

Week 1 Assignment (for paper)

USE this template

Each week you will be working towards the completion of your Capstone Final Project. During Week One you will complete the following assignments:

This week, you will develop an APA formated short paper detailing the following:

• Topic related to healthcare administration or management and your rationale for your choice.
• An outline of the project including subtopics you will cover.
• Proposed sources (where you plan to get your scholarly resources)
• List of targeted companies for research (if applicable)
• A personal Timeline of your project (use this timeline to develop as set of weekly milestones and goals so you can keep pace with the course). Attach the timeline as an appendix to your rationale paper.
• FOLLOW this template – I attached below.

Please submit this assignment as ONE word document with a clear heading above each section of the assignment. For example, Topic and its rationale is a heading, etc. There will be four headings (see above). Title you file LAST NAME_ INITIAL CAPSTONE WEEK ONE.

If you are doing a work-related project of identifying a problem and working toward a resolution, you will still follow the above steps. If you choose this option, you will follow the same steps as those for the research paper. In essence, your research paper will be the identification of a problem, the analysis of the problem, the solution design, and the implementation of the solution. This assignment is due by Sunday 11:59 pm (Eastern Time)

The topic: Must be related to health care administration. You can choose any health care related topic or issue, however you focus needs to be on administration, examples include: management, leadership, policy development, advocacy, technology implementation among others.
