Scholarship Expectations
You are clinical nurse scholars in the making. You are the APNs/DNPs and members of the
highly literate profession of advanced practice nursing who will chart the future of health care.
Good writing ability is as much a required skill for nurses in advanced practice as performing
clinical functions. Therefore, precision and scholarship is expected in all assignments.
Content must be organized and with logical progression of ideas; effort and attention to detail
is evident; all aspects of the discussion is communicated effectively; correct grammar, spelling,
and word choice; and liberal number of references. References must be current, appropriately
paraphrased, and acknowledged; correct use of APA; correct title page used for assignment
copy.

Research findings of Rath and Conchie (2008) indicate that leaders do not have to be good at
every aspect of leading. What a relief! However, to be effective change agents, these authors
argue the importance of knowing one’s leadership strengths and leveraging those strengths to
build strong teams. How does one leverage those strengths? Consider how one’s leadership
strengths could potentially weaken a team. In addition to the leadership assessment exercise,
please read the following articles:

Substantial cross posts to a minimum of two (2) other students. The cross posts provide new or
supplemental information to the original posting or raise additional areas for discussion. New or
additional peer reviewed references should be cited in each cross post. The new or addtional
peer reviewed cross posts were not used in your initial discussion or the initial discussion of the
peer.

Students demonstrate active engagement in the discussion by responding to cross posts from
their peers to their initial posting. References are not required for these responses. The key to
this section is to demonstrate active engagement in the discussion through your interaction with
your peers- watch for posts from your classmates and acknowledge their posting. Note: if the
student does not have peer cross posts for the initial posting, these points will be incorporated
into the cross post section above.

Research a health-care initiative or legislative statue that is currently underway in your state or federally. You may want to check with nursing organizations that have legislative departments that can provide their analysis on current health-care issues. You may also conduct online research to identify current issues. Discuss how you can take an active role as a health-care advocate (at the local, state, or federal level as appropriate). Identify one tacitic to advocate for your identified initiative or legislation.

Holistic care refers to approaches and interventions that address the needs of the whole person: body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Consider the following case study:

You are caring for a first-time mother in a health clinic. While assessing the woman, you notice she is becoming visibly upset. When you ask, she notes that her mother, with whom she was very close, died last year and that she really would have loved to have shared this pregnancy with her. You empathize with the patient, as your own mother just died 6 months ago. She also notes that she and her partner have been bickering a lot lately on top of her feeling generally sore, tired, and overwhelmed.

Define holistic care in your own words. Describe four ways you can implement a holistic nursing approach to care and facilitate healing. In addition, you may consider the intersection of holistic care and caritas principles from Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring/Caring Science.
