Policy Review: Summarize your selected policy, its relationships to the social problem, and the expected results. Then address the following:  Is your selected policy dictated by local or state statute—or a combination thereof?  How does the policy address your issue statement? Or what is missing?  What are the different sections, or components, of the policy?  How long has the current policy been in place?  Who supports and who opposes the policy?  What changes, or amendments, have been made to the policy?  Explain how this policy affects clients you might see in a clinical setting and why, as a clinical social worker, it would be important to advocate for change.

The Concept Map must visually connect all of the specified objectives  (Program Outcomes, MSN Essentials, and NONPF Competencies) to course work (such as specific discussion board topics, written assignments, exams, lessons, and reading content). All items should be labeled, for instance, label the objectives and label the course work you select with name of the assignment/reading/discussion board topic and which week it was introduced.Use Microsoft Word or a PowerPoint to create a Concept Map. You can use the features found on the “Insert” tab of a Word doc (in the horizontal ribbon on the top of a Word doc page). For instance, if you click on "insert" you will see shapes and SmartArt. You can use a PowerPoint slide with shapes and lines to create a concept/mind map. This is not a PowerPoint presentation , but a PowerPoint slide can be used to “draw” the Map.Outcomes/Competencies to be connected with course learning: MSN Program Outcome #2:Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused).MSN Essential VIII:Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving HealthNational Organization of Nurse Practitioner Competencies #4: Practice Inquiry CompetenciesRecognizes that the master's-prepared nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregates/identified populations.Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the course meeting the outcomes above.

Planning is the key to successful completion of this course and program-related objectives. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your course preceptor. Students must establish a plan for successful completion ofThe required 50 community direct clinical practice experience hours, 50 leadership direct clinical practice hours, and 25 indirect clinical experience hours.Completion of work associated with program competencies.Work associated with completion of the student's capstone project change proposal.Students will use the "Individual Success Plan" to develop an individual plan for completing practice hours and course objectives. As a part of this process, students will identify the number of hours set aside to meet course goals.Student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document are provided in the "NRS-493 Individual Success Plan" resource, located in the Study Materials and in the assignment instructions.Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students are expected to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.After the ISP has been developed by the student and approved by the course faculty, students will initiate a preconference with the faculty and preceptor to review the ISP.
