A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.
• Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
• Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review. Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplac

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined nine broad areas of core competence that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This course was designed to prepare you to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and to apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities.

The nine areas of competency are:

· Scientific Foundations

· Leadership

· Quality

· Practice Inquiry

· Technology and Information Literacy

· Policy

· Health Delivery System

· Ethics

· Independent Practice

TO PREPARE

· Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the NONPF Core Competencies Content

THE ASSIGNMENT

For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet the competency (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Finally, describe 1–2 legislative and/or advocacy activities in which your state nurse practitioner organization(s) are involved. Be specific and provide examples.

TOPIC : NURSING SHORTAGE

Decision-Making Process 

Instructions

In this assignment, you will be writing a 6-pages identifying, comparing and contrasting at least 3 DIFFERENT DECISION MAKING APPROACHES SOF CARE from a multidisciplinary perspective using a pertinent and significant topic ( NURSING SHORTAGE).

You are required to use APA 7th edition format and the page count does not include title page or reference page. Reflect on your own decision-making practices and the implications this will have regarding differing approaches taken of nursing leaders and staff nurses/clinical practitioners in decision making within to issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:

1. Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include a thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of what the cause of this problem is; what is suggested to address this problem. Essentially, this review must support your choices of the decision-making models and this needs to include how all levels of nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the problem).
2. Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/staff nurse and an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address your selected issue using at least 3different decision-making approaches which are clearly supported by the literature review. This must first include aa detailed analysis/overview of the selected decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a detailed analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models would address the problem/along with a detailed analysis of how each of the three selected models would be applied to address the selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate this at all levels of practice. One of the decision-making models may be more applicable to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN; however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at least one of the chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this does not mean that each decision-making model will apply to all levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to include how each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model to address the problem. For instance,one decision making model may apply to the bedside nurse; the second decision making model may be more applicable at the level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other decision-making model may be best applied to the nurse manager. This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well thought out, realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may include more than one level for the same decision-making model or not) would address the problem using the decision-making model is provided and well supported by the literature. of the benefits and limitations of various decision-making approaches that are applied appropriately to the level of nursing practice to address the selected issue/problem. This is informed from course readings,literature, clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
3. Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the selected problem that is grounded in best practice. This should provide a well-supported rationale for this choice that includes a good comparison and contrasting of the 3 chosen decision-making models that clearly illustrates why the choice was made, that is consistent with the decision making model and how it would address the chosen topic or problem.
4. Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your approach to solving the problem. For instance, if the best approach to solving the nurse-to-patient ratio problem is through the use of SDM and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a local funding source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization such as Sigma Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards assessing the value of this model towards NP in practice than seeking a local organization that supports funding for projects being implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for research this would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP or a PhD or someone with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of practice. Consider looking at federal, state,or local organizations. For example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA, etc. Again, this need to be specifically applied with sufficient details
5. Use at least 10 references other than your main text.Uses APA 7th edition formatting. At least 5 of these need to be within the past five years.
