Health or Nursing Organization Meeting paper

Students will make arrangements to attend a community health or nursing organization meeting. If you are not a member of a nursing organization and wish to attend a regional meeting, please contact someone who is a member or the organization itself to discuss attending as a guest. You may also choose a community meeting, such as one sponsored by a local health department or special forum. In-house meetings and committee meetings do not meet the criteria.

Please make this attendance planning an early task, as you will be required to confer with me as to the organization you have chosen and when you plan to attend the session. Your deadline for having this in place is by the third week of the semester.

Therefore, you should begin exploring meeting dates early to have this on both of our calendars. There is a short analysis report due after your attendance by week nine.

The purpose of this assignment is to: Explore how a health-related issue or group impacts professional nursing practice; Identify the possible legal, ethical, political and budgetary issues involved with the agenda addressed in the meeting; Analyze nursing’s role in the issue or meeting.
