This document discusses two questions related to politics, policy, and nursing: 1) What is the difference between politics and policy, and what role can nurses play in defining health policy? 2) Where is the largest growth of men in nursing, and why? It provides background information from chapters in a nursing textbook on these topics. The document examines the demographics of registered nurses, nurse educators, and the US population, and asks what changes need to be made to even out these demographics.

Choosing your career is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. When asked why they chose to pursue medicine, most physicians respond that they wanted to make a difference by helping people and positively impacting their lives through health care. Serving others as a physician is a noble and challenging way to invest your intellect, skills, and passion in a demanding and rewarding profession.

Thomas’s strength coach has provided him with an offseason resistance program, but he has asked you to create a stretching program that will get him through his next season “injury free”. Thomas has been working with strength coaches for 10 years and will be using his schools weight room that is fully equipped with any amenities he may need.
Required: Include the following:
1. Conduct a needs analysis that includes common muscular injuries that track sprinters experience along with recommendations to decrease these occurrences.
2. In narrative form provide a list of the recommended stretches and the rationale for including them in Thomas’s program.
Include In the rationale:
A. Muscles stretched including cues
B. Training frequency
C. Sets and Reps
3. Discuss other methods and modalities that Thomas can add to his program to decrease the likelihood of straining muscles in the upcoming track season.

Socialization
To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers
While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them.
The American Nurses Association offers the following definition:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).
Instructions
You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should:
· Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS)
· Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections)
· Include data or statistics about HAIs
· Describe prevention strategies for HAIs
Nursing Ethics
The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

Personal skills and knowledge gained as a result of course undertaking
New practice approaches that I have learned
There are three new nursing practices approach that I have been able to achieve in the nursing course. The first one is the use of economical staffing models and simple electronic applications as a way of educating primary care givers and patients on the conditions that they have. The second one is the use of psychological methodologies and techniques to help in patient care and nursing. As much as patients might have ailments the first battle that should be won to ensure that they are effectively treated is dealing with their mental state; if the mind battle is won, half the medical battle is already won (Townsend & Morgan, 2017). The third approach is the use of evidence based nursing. The approach combines personal clinical expertise and the most relevant and current research available when it comes to patient care.
Knowledge acquired on intra-professional collaboration
In almost all professions, the only way to better the profession is through intra-professional collaboration and nursing is not an exception of this. In my undertaking of this course, I have learned that we need other people to achieve more so people who are in the same profession as you are. There are people who are more knowledgeable than others in certain fields and having interactions and collaborations with such people can better those who are less knowledgeable. Intra-professional collaboration is important as it aids in the sharing of vital information. In my path to become a nurse, I have learnt to seek the advice of those superior to me as their advice always betters me. For example, by interacting with experienced RN I get to know of the best nursing practices that will ensure that I administer quality and meaningful patient care to my patients.
Knowledge acquired on clinical and Health care delivery system
Most hospitals and healthcare care centers have procedures or steps of carrying out medical treatments or healthcare delivery. The success of healthcare delivery is fully dependent on the procedures and the steps that the centers prescribe to. In my interactions with various health care and delivery systems throughout my course, I have learned that it is completely necessary to stick to the laid down procedures in healthcare centers as the procedures play a vital role in how healthcare is delivered. The systems are in place to guide medical procedures as well as patient care provision. I have also acquired the knowledge that clinical and health care delivery systems dictate the chain of commands in medical situations. For exa.

Classmates’ Tread 1.
Part I: I'm pretty comfortable and actually excited to be in this course this semester. I have always been interested in possibly perusing a law degree, so focusing on healthcare policy and legislatures really sparks my interest. I've been a NICU nurse for 5 years before going active duty and doing PICU. I think with me being in two highly specialized areas I would be somewhat uncomfortable advocating in the political arena, unless I was advocating for PICU/NICU patients exclusively, as I've lost many of my "adult" patient skills. Although, I have limited knowledge on the processes of legislation and regulations, I do try to keep up with high profile cases, such as the case of the nurse who unformtably killed a patient by giving them vecoronium instead of versed. I've always been interested in the court proceedings on these kind of cases. I've never actually reached out to any personal federal or state representatives. In my undergraduate studies I don't believe we touched much on why it is important for nurses to be knowledgeable about healthcare policies and legislations. It would undoubtedly benefit the healthcare Professionals as a whole if the importance of learning the rights of patients AND healthcare professionals is taught early in our career. However, I will say that sometimes working in a military hospital can be tricky, because it seems that we have our own set of policies that are unique only to military/government hospitals.
Part II:
Nurses are the number one advocates for our patients. We as nurses must always place patient safety at the frontline. Following patient safety, nurses can also help improve the quality of care, so nurses should be included in developing, implementing, and sustaining healthcare policies (Collins 2017). Being actively involved in implementing healthcare policies and upholding these policies in the clinical setting is the best way that nurses can advocate for our patients (Collins, 2017). We also need to understand all the levels of power and know which entity controls the resources given to us. Nurse managers need to be knowledgeable on hospital policies and legislatures because they are often put in positions to Make informed decisions. Nurses as a whole have an ethical and moral responsibility to engage in policy and political decision-making for the betterment of patients.
Part III:

Write a letter to the editor of an academic or professional jo.docxwashingtonrosy
Write a letter to the editor of an academic or professional journal. The length and format of the letter is dictated by your choice of journal.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Choosing your career is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. When asked why they chose to pursue medicine, most physicians respond that they wanted to make a difference by helping people and positively impacting their lives through health care. Serving others as a physician is a noble and challenging way to invest your intellect, skills, and passion in a demanding and rewarding profession.

His off-season goals are to maintain his lower body power and strength while increasing his flexibility in order to decrease the frequency of in season muscle strains. Thomas’s strength coach has provided him with an offseason resistance program, but he has asked you to create a stretching program that will get him through his next season “injury free”. Thomas has been working with strength coaches for 10 years and will be using his schools weight room that is fully equipped with any amenities he may need.
Required: Include the following:
1. Conduct a needs analysis that includes common muscular injuries that track sprinters experience along with recommendations to decrease these occurrences.
2. In narrative form provide a list of the recommended stretches and the rationale for including them in Thomas’s program.
Include In the rationale:
A. Muscles stretched including cues
B. Training frequency
C. Sets and Reps
3. Discuss other methods and modalities that Thomas can add to his program to decrease the likelihood of straining muscles in the upcoming track season.

Socialization
To begin the process of socialization, having a clear understanding of the definition of nursing is essential. We know what nurses do, but how do we define nursing? Why is defining nursing important? To answer this last question, defining nursing is important for several reasons:To differentiate nursing from other professions.To define our practiceTo provide guidelines for nursing educationTo make nursing visible to the public and policy makers
While there may be multiple definitions of nursing from professional organization and state boards of nursing, similar characteristics can be found in all of them.
The American Nurses Association offers the following definition:
Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Knowing what nursing is, supports your move into the nursing role. Socialization is the process of internalizing knowledge, skills, attitudes and other concepts needed to function in a role. You have been socialized into your current role. However, after graduating with your BSN, there will be another socialization process as you take on the broader role of the nurse with a BSN. Another way of describing the socialization process is Patricia Benner’s (1984) novice to expert stages. Some of you may be familiar with Benner’s work through your facilities clinical ladder. Socialization of the professional nurse involves developing your knowledge and skills and interacting with other nurses who act as mentors. Throughout the education process, students encounter a variety of socializing agents, including faculty, classmates, colleagues and other healthcare professionals, patients, and family, who subsequently contribute to the formation of a professional self-identify (Lai & Lim, 2012, p. 32).
Instructions
You are a licensed practice nurse (LPN) collaborating with a registered nurse (RN) for hospital-wide in-service on healthcare associated infections (HAI). After the in-service, a representative from each hospital department will receive an infographic to post in their respective unit. Your job is to create an infographic on preventing HAIs. The infographic should:
· Be a one-page visual representation of about Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIS)
· Identify common types of HAIs (healthcare associated infections)
· Include data or statistics about HAIs
· Describe prevention strategies for HAIs
Nursing Ethics
The Code of Ethics for Nurses of 2015, given by American Nurses Association (ANA), outlines the ethical basis for the nursing profession. It contains nine provisions, which cover the nurses' responsibilities toward the patients, maintenance of their personal professional growth, and their responsibilities to the profession and community.

Personal skills and knowledge gained as a result of course undertaking
New practice approaches that I have learned
There are three new nursing practices approach that I have been able to achieve in the nursing course. The first one is the use of economical staffing models and simple electronic applications as a way of educating primary care givers and patients on the conditions that they have. The second one is the use of psychological methodologies and techniques to help in patient care and nursing. As much as patients might have ailments the first battle that should be won to ensure that they are effectively treated is dealing with their mental state; if the mind battle is won, half the medical battle is already won (Townsend & Morgan, 2017). The third approach is the use of evidence based nursing. The approach combines personal clinical expertise and the most relevant and current research available when it comes to patient care.
Knowledge acquired on intra-professional collaboration
In almost all professions, the only way to better the profession is through intra-professional collaboration and nursing is not an exception of this. In my undertaking of this course, I have learned that we need other people to achieve more so people who are in the same profession as you are. There are people who are more knowledgeable than others in certain fields and having interactions and collaborations with such people can better those who are less knowledgeable. Intra-professional collaboration is important as it aids in the sharing of vital information. In my path to become a nurse, I have learnt to seek the advice of those superior to me as their advice always betters me. For example, by interacting with experienced RN I get to know of the best nursing practices that will ensure that I administer quality and meaningful patient care to my patients.
Knowledge acquired on clinical and Health care delivery system
Most hospitals and healthcare care centers have procedures or steps of carrying out medical treatments or healthcare delivery. The success of healthcare delivery is fully dependent on the procedures and the steps that the centers prescribe to. In my interactions with various health care and delivery systems throughout my course, I have learned that it is completely necessary to stick to the laid down procedures in healthcare centers as the procedures play a vital role in how healthcare is delivered. The systems are in place to guide medical procedures as well as patient care provision. I have also acquired the knowledge that clinical and health care delivery systems dictate the chain of commands in medical situations. For exa.

Classmates’ Tread 1.
Part I: I'm pretty comfortable and actually excited to be in this course this semester. I have always been interested in possibly perusing a law degree, so focusing on healthcare policy and legislatures really sparks my interest. I've been a NICU nurse for 5 years before going active duty and doing PICU. I think with me being in two highly specialized areas I would be somewhat uncomfortable advocating in the political arena, unless I was advocating for PICU/NICU patients exclusively, as I've lost many of my "adult" patient skills. Although, I have limited knowledge on the processes of legislation and regulations, I do try to keep up with high profile cases, such as the case of the nurse who unformtably killed a patient by giving them vecoronium instead of versed. I've always been interested in the court proceedings on these kind of cases. I've never actually reached out to any personal federal or state representatives. In my undergraduate studies I don't believe we touched much on why it is important for nurses to be knowledgeable about healthcare policies and legislations. It would undoubtedly benefit the healthcare Professionals as a whole if the importance of learning the rights of patients AND healthcare professionals is taught early in our career. However, I will say that sometimes working in a military hospital can be tricky, because it seems that we have our own set of policies that are unique only to military/government hospitals.
Part II:
Nurses are the number one advocates for our patients. We as nurses must always place patient safety at the frontline. Following patient safety, nurses can also help improve the quality of care, so nurses should be included in developing, implementing, and sustaining healthcare policies (Collins 2017). Being actively involved in implementing healthcare policies and upholding these policies in the clinical setting is the best way that nurses can advocate for our patients (Collins, 2017). We also need to understand all the levels of power and know which entity controls the resources given to us. Nurse managers need to be knowledgeable on hospital policies and legislatures because they are often put in positions to Make informed decisions. Nurses as a whole have an ethical and moral responsibility to engage in policy and political decision-making for the betterment of patients.

Write a letter to the editor of an academic or professional jo.docxwashingtonrosy
Write a letter to the editor of an academic or professional journal. The length and format of the letter is dictated by your choice of journal.
Note
: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
Advocating for new policies is an important aspect of the master’s-prepared nurse. For new policies to be compelling they need to be supported by evidence. Supporting data can be used to illustrate why new policies and interventions are needed to help address a specific health issue. Compelling data can help sway the stakeholders and gain support for your policy.
SHOW LESS
Another aspect of advocacy is disseminating new policies and interventions outside of the immediate care environment. This can be done by reaching out to professional organizations as well as academic and professional journals. A letter to the editor is one strategy for disseminating information to a wider audience, and to potentially enlist support throughout the wider professional community.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes.
Evaluate the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Justify why a developed policy will be vital in improving the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.
Analyze the ways in which interprofessional aspects of a developed policy will support efficient and effective achievement of desired outcomes for the target population.
Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy.
Analyze how the current state of the quality of care and outcomes for a specific issue in a target population necessitates health policy development and advocacy.
Advocate for policy development in other care settings with regard to a specific issue in a target population.
Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
Communicate in a professional and persuasive manner, writing content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

University, St. Louis, MO 12 Preface Nursing is evolving, as is health care in the United
States. With the debates and discussions, lawsuits, and legislation that surround the
Affordable Care Act, health care has become a central feature of American political and
social discourse. NUR 3805 University of Central Florida Politics and Policy DiscussionWith
their increasing response to calls to advance their education and their strong record of
safety and quality care, nurses are positioned to take a leadership role in the provision of
health care in the United States. To be effective leaders, nurses must master knowledge
about health and illness and human responses to each, think critically and creatively,
participate in robust interprofessional collaborations, be both caring and professional, and
grapple with ethical dilemmas that are complex and that challenge providers in a time when
health care resources are not unlimited. As leaders, nurses must have an understanding of
their history, because the past informs the present, and have a vision for the future that
builds on the lessons of today. The eighth edition of Professional Nursing: Concepts &
Challenges reflects my commitment to present current and relevant information. Since the
last edition, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has withstood repeated attempts in Congress to
repeal it. Importantly, the ACA has withstood two significant challenges brought before the
U.S. Supreme Court. The provisions of the ACA have been implemented, and more
Americans than ever have health insurance. The 2016 presidential election is 1 year away
as this is being written, with one side arguing for the repeal of the ACA, while one candidate
on the other side is arguing for a single-payer health care system. This early posturing
almost certainly foreshadows a continuing lively debate on critical questions of health care
in America. In this edition, the order of the chapters has been changed considerably to
reflect a more cohesive view of nursing, its history, education, conceptual and theoretical
bases, and the place of nursing in the U.S. health care system. Faculty are encouraged,
however, to use the chapters in any order that reflects their own pedagogical and
theoretical approaches. This edition has additional examples from nurses, especially
textboxes featuring compelling stories from nurses who have shaped their careers in
creative, innovative ways. The effects of the Internet and social media on nursing are
addressed extensively with regard to their legal and ethical implications and their role in
professional socialization and communication. There are fewer figures and statistics than in
previous editions because students respond more favorably to narratives and examples.
With the easy and free availability of health-related statistics from 13 .gov websites, I
decided that today’s students would benefit more from narrative and less from pages of
5. statistics. I have rarely met a nurse engaged in practice who didn’t start a story with, “I had
a patient once who…” These narratives teach us about what is important in nursing.
Throughout the book, I have been very careful to be inclusive, to avoid heteronormative and
ethnocentric language, to use examples that avoid stereotypes of all types, and to include
photographs that capture the wonderful diversity of American nursing. A note about
references: older references refer to classic papers or texts. There are a few references that
don’t reach the level of “classic” texts, but the author turned a phrase in a clever or elegant
way that needed to be cited. NUR 3805 University of Central Florida Politics and Policy
DiscussionNo manner of updated paper could replace these interesting comments or points
of view. Research and clinical works are relevant and contemporary. As with the last three
editions, the eighth edition is written at a level appropriate for use in early courses in
baccalaureate curricula, in RN-to-BSN and RN-to-MSN courses, and as a resource for
practicing nurses and graduate students. An increasing number of students in nursing
programs are seeking second undergraduate degrees, such as midlife adults seeking a
career change and others who bring considerable experience to the learning situation.
Accordingly, every effort has been made to present material that is comprehensive enough
to challenge users at all levels without overwhelming beginning students. The text has been
written to be engaging and interesting, and care has been taken to minimize jargon that is
so prevalent in health care. A comprehensive glossary is provided to assist in developing
and refining a professional vocabulary. As in previous editions, key terms are highlighted in
the text itself. All terms in color print are in the Glossary. The Glossary also contains basic
terms that are not necessarily used in the text but may be unfamiliar to students new to
nursing. Some features from previous editions have gotten significant “makeovers.” Some
self-assessment exercises were retained, but the language was updated. Several chapters
contain Challenge boxes that typically, but not always, are related to an issue of culture.
Some older textboxes from previous editions have been eliminated to make room for
fresher content. To be consistent with the focus of the book—concepts and challenges—I
have changed the former “Key Points” content to address major concepts from each chapter
with a corresponding challenge for the student or for nursing as a profession. I have
included “Ideas for Further Exploration” to replace “Critical Thinking Questions” with the
hope that these ideas will generate a spark of curiosity in students as they consider some of
the challenging aspects of the profession. I sincerely hope that the eighth edition continues
to reach the high standards set forth by Kay Chitty, who edited the first four editions of this
book. I hope that students and faculty will find this edition readable, informative, and
thought provoking. More than anything, I hope that Professional Nursing: Concepts &
Challenges, Eighth Edition, will in some way contribute to the 14 continuing evolution of the
profession of nursing. Beth Perry Black 15 Acknowledgments With each new edition of
Professional Nursing: Concepts & Challenges, I find myself increasingly in awe of the
intelligence, creativity, humility, and work ethic of the nurses who continue to inspire me. I
am so grateful to the many people whose and assistance have made this book possible,
each in different ways: • To the faculty who used earlier editions and shared their helpful
suggestions to make this book better. • To students who sent e-mails, expressing their
gratitude for an interesting and readable textbook while offering ideas for improvement. •
6. To the many nurses who were generous in sharing their experiences when I asked for an
example or a story. Nurses narrate their work like no others. • To my colleagues in the
School of Nursing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and to our
extraordinary nursing students and alumni who make us proud. • To Trish Wright and Rana
Limbo, my “grief buddies,” who are also my dear friends and writing companions. • To my
friend Paula Anderson, who assisted me in the preparation of this text and whose warm,
generous spirit infuses everything she does with light. • To my dear friends Jen and Rick
Palmer, whose loving has been and continues to be a lifeline. • To my incredibly smart,
funny, and ive daughters, Amanda Black and Kylie Johnson, and to their respective
partners, Hudson Santos, Jr., and Pierce Johnson, who serve to both buoy and anchor them.

Environment LEARNING OUTCOMES After studying this chapter, students will be able to: •
Describe the demographic profile of registered nurses today. • Recognize the wide range of
settings and roles in which today’s registered nurses practice. • Identify evolving practice
opportunities for nurses. • Consider nursing roles in various practice settings. • Explain the
roles and education of advanced practice nurses. To enhance your understanding of this

workforce in the United States and have increasing opportunities to practice in an
enormous variety of settings. The profession of nursing is more than ever requiring the
education of well-trained, flexible, and knowledgeable nurses who can practice in today’s
evolving health care environment. Recent legislation, demands of patients as consumers of
health care, and the need to control costs while optimizing outcomes have had a great
influence on the way that health care is delivered in the United States. Nursing is evolving to
meet these demands. One of the most notable influences on today’s health care environment
is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed in 2010 by the 111th Congress. The ACA is actually
two laws—the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PL 111-148) and the Health Care
and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act (PL 111152). Signed into law by President
Barack Obama, this combination of laws is sometimes referred to as simply “health care
reform” by the public. These laws provide for incremental but progressive change to the
way that Americans access and pay for their health care. In an important report of the
opportunities this legislation affords nurses, the Committee on the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing at the Institute of Medicine no …NUR 3805
