Word cloud generators have become popular tools for meetings and team-building events. Groups or teams are asked to use these applications to input words they feel best describe their team or their role. A “word cloud” is generated by the application that makes prominent the most-used terms, offering an image of the common thinking among participants of that role.

What types of words would you use to build a nursing word cloud? Empathetic, organized, hard-working, or advocate would all certainly apply. Would you add policy-maker to your list? Do you think it would be a very prominent component of the word cloud?

Nursing has become one of the largest professions in the world, and as such, nurses have the potential to influence policy and politics on a global scale. When nurses influence the politics that improve the delivery of healthcare, they are ultimately advocating for their patients. Hence, policy-making has become an increasingly popular term among nurses as they recognize a moral and professional obligation to be engaged in healthcare legislation.

To Prepare:

• Revisit the Congress.gov website provided in the Resources and consider the role of RNs and APRNs in policy-making. Here is the resources ( American Nurses Association (ANA). (n.d.). Advocacy. Retrieved September 20, 2018, from https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/advocacy/ 
• Reflect on potential opportunities that may exist for RNs and APRNs to participate in the policy-making process.

Post an explanation of at least two opportunities that exist for RNs and APRNs to actively participate in policy-making. Explain some of the challenges that these opportunities may present and describe how you might overcome these challenges. Finally, recommend two strategies you might make to better advocate for or communicate the existence of these opportunities to participate in policy-making. Be specific and provide examples.

Learning Theories & Principles and Quality Health Care

The advanced practice nurse role is a career in which the advanced practice nurse must learn any new theories and principles and apply them to every aspect of their career. Teaching new theories and principles is the main guide for educational systems so that registered nurses and advanced practice nurses can do well when practicing to the fullest extent the career of an advanced practice nurse allows them to. By learning new theories, the advanced practice nurse can use the knowledge more effectively when applying it to different situations that might arise with different individuals (Parvin, n.d.). 

It is important for any career within the health care profession to have the regular use of theories and clear reasoning in educational activities, management, employee training, interactions with clients and patients, especially with the type of health care structure health care professionals work in (Parvin, n.d.). Theories can be classified into three different and general groups (Parvin, n.d.). The first group is behaviorism (Parvin, n.d.). The second group is cognitive (Parvin, n.d.). The third group is constructive (Parvin, n.d.).

The theory of behaviorism is highly evident and is the most dominant approach in psychology research (Parvin, n.d.). When the 20th century first began, behaviorists who took on a more traditional role “believed that learning is a change in observable behavior and it happens when the communication occurs between the two events, a stimulus and a response (Parvin, n.d.).” Basically what this means is that learners with a behavioral reinforcement can have a positive results for a good performance (Parvin, n.d.).

The theory of cognitivism is “believing that learning is a targeted internal process and focus on thinking, understanding, organizing, and consciousness (Parvin, n.d.).“ Cognitive learning theory cannot be observed  directly due to the fact that it is associated with a change in capacity and capability of the individual themself (Parvin, n.d.). Fundamentalists believe that cognitive theories can help students be equipped to questioning skill and problem solving through the exploration and information process (Parvin, n.d.).

The constructive theory has to do with the “objective reality of the outside world transferred from the learner (Parvin, n.d.).” The educational approach must be emphasized on the activity of the learner during the construction of knowledge (Parvin, n.d.).”  When it comes to nursing, this theory can be useful in allowing learners to actively participate in discussions and figure out the best approach (Parvin, n.d.). Doing things like creating a group discussion and and having a person as a coordinator in these types of theory sessions, even while at a patient’s bedside can help to sharpen, shape, and strengthen the cooperation between several individuals (Parvin, n.d.).

I believe that an advanced practice nurse should take all of these into consideration when doing things within their scope of practice. These learning theories and practices that come along with them allows advanced practice nurses to adapt to demands and circumstances that are crucial in health care (Braungart, Gramet, n.d.).
