The purpose of this assignment is to consider that you will present at an important meeting about healthcare policy. Your role is to represent the perspective of nurses about this particular issue and provide a presentation to the group. 

Introduction:

Refer to APA Manual for how to write an effective introduction. State the purpose of the paper.

Main Content: 

First, choose a policy or agenda item related to nurses that is proposed by the American Nurses Association, state or federal government agencies or legislative bodies, a state nursing board, a state nursing association, or a professional nursing specialty organization (such as Oncology Nurse Association, Wound Care Nurse Association, Advanced Practice Nurse Association, or Clinical Nurse Leader Association).   Explain the significance of this policy and why it is of interest.
Next, using professional and government websites and scholarly articles, analyze the issue thoroughly so that you have data and information to include in your presentation. What is the history of this issue? Who is affected by this issue? How will policy related to this issue affect nurses or your particular nurse’s association? Clearly outline the policy or issue with key points highlighted that demonstrate your understanding.
Research the key stakeholders who might be attending the meeting and identify them as specifically as possible. You may select one stakeholder or one group of stakeholders (decision-makers) as your audience for the presentation.

Conclusion:

Write closing comments about the process of writing the letter; do not introduce new material in the conclusion.
