How Nurses Should Assure Policy Change for Advanced
Practice Registered Nurses
To ensure that they are persuasive, nurses have to view
themselves as experts with the ability and the duty to effect
current and future healthcare provision systems. Nurses can
embrace a collaborative work policy. Working together and
sharing different views, ideas and opinions can lead to
increased contributions of nurses working as different
professionals, thereby helping bridge differences by discussing
issues affecting nursing nationally and internationally. Nurses
should work hand in hand with STTI, which is a force for
shaping programs and works with nurses and governmental
administrators to push on strategies that promote world health.
STTI has established a global advisory panel on the future of

nursing meant to bring stakeholders from all over the world to
address important plans such as nursing leadership, education,
and workforce evolution. Nurses have a choice of whether or
not they want to become influential in policy work. Nurses
should also debate the importance of policies to them. They
should educate themselves on the value and appreciate the
chances to be active influencers of policy by learning how
policies are developed and pinpointing the areas of policy they
want to change (Feringa et al., 2018).
The Role of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) In Addressing
Workforce Shortages in Rural Communities
People living in rural areas often encounter hardships in
accessing the necessary medical care. For rural people to
receive the required access, they require ACA has come up with
different strategies. The ACA was made to reduce health
insurance coverage expenses for individuals who qualify for it.
Individuals with lower incomes find it difficult to afford
coverage on their own. The ACA has detailed supplies mean to
address the development of national strategies to deal with
workforce issues (Rochefort, 2018). The ACA has established
programs to support the clinical training of current non-
physicians. The training will enable them to keep pace with the
constantly changing healthcare environment and promote the
well-being of those living in rural areas who cannot get the care
they require. The ACA has established grant programs to
support care coordination through medical homes by using
programs and initiatives involving private doctors, community
health centers, and even providing home-based care.
The ACA has redistributed unused residency positions. Health
facilities located in places with a large number of individuals
staying in a health professional service area to the population
will be issued a higher priority for a rise in placement positions.
65% of the redistributed slots will be allocated to the primary
care and general surgery positions. The law also permits
educating health facilities to access Direct graduate medical
education and indirect medical education payments related to

the time residents practice in ambulatory settings and other
costs so long as the health facility suffers the expenses of
inhabitants' incomes and benefits for the time the residents
occupy in that setting.

Major Paper: Curricular Issues in Education
We have many critical issues facing education. Students will
select one of the options below and
present a well-developed 5 page paper that focuses on a
curricular issue in education. You must
cite at least sources (APA format).
Topics include:

a) Common Core State Standards
b) Student Learning
c) Technology
d) Social Media
e) Politics
f) High Stakes Testing
g) School Leadership
h) Pre-service Teaching Programs
i) School Climate
j) Poverty
Think about the following as you compose the paper:
1) How does this relate/impact/effect curriculum?
2) Examine content-specific curricular issues through relevant
readings and discussions as it
pertains to the specific topic
3) Students’ developmental needs
4) How must educators work together to solve this issue?
5) What stakeholders are involved or should be involved?

You may focus on K-12 or specific grade bands. Everything
relates to curriculum, so may sure
you are connecting the pieces of the puzzle.
Grammar, mechanics, and format play a role in this paper;
however, the main portion of this
paper is based on the content. Everything should be based on
your research findings. Do not
include personal opinion in this paper.
This will be worth 200 points.
