Ethics

As referenced in Week 2, Discussion 2, nurses are perceived as having very high ethical standards (Gallup, 2013). Doctorally prepared nurses should be able to consider ethical issues from multiple viewpoints. In this week’s media presentation, the experts discuss ethical challenges encountered by nurses as they assume leadership positions and as they engage in research.

To prepare:

Reflect on ethical challenges that you have encountered in your nursing practice.
Think about the information the experts shared in this week’s media presentation, focusing on the ethical challenges they have encountered as nurse leaders or scientists, as well as information presented in other Learning Resources.
With this information in mind, consider what new ethical challenges you may face once you obtain your doctoral degree.
By Wednesday 6/28/17, post 550 words essay in APA format with 3 references from the list below, that include the level one headings as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Describe two or more significant ethical issues relevant to the DNP- or PhD-prepared nurse.

MGT330 Individual Research Paper Guidelines Spring 2019 20% of your course grade; You are writing these policy research papers in order to analyze a particular business issue and make policy recommendations. You may want to address your paper to a person or to an agency (e.g., President Trump, the Federal Reserve, Environmental Protection Agency, FDA, etc.) and make your recommendations realistic as to what that person or agency can accomplish. Dont be vague and say things like reduce unemployment or achieve economic growth how would you recommend this be done? The more specific your recommendations, the better. Choose a specific company or industry that faces a pressing environmental, social or economic issue. Since you have been keeping up with your reading and current events, you have (almost) the whole world to choose from. You should structure your paper according to the following format: Section I – Background (1-2pp) Describe the issue and summarize the economic/political/scientific background clearly and succinctly (pretend you are writing for an intelligent layperson). Is this a new issue, or an ongoing problem? Why? What are the causes of the problem, environmental/social/political/economic? Use hard data and statistics to build a convincing argument. Section II Analysis (3-4 pp) Describe why the issue you have selected is important to the wellbeing of the company, industry or the region? What are the current policies to address it (or the lack of such)? Why should the recipient of your memo address this issue as soon as possible? Provide hard facts, not vague generalizations or predictions of doom. Section III Options (1-2 pp) What sorts of options does your person/agency/government have in dealing with this issue? (Do Nothing may be an option as well.) List the pros and cons of each option, scientific, environmental, economic, and political/social again, be specific. How would they affect your selected company or industry? Section IV Recommendation (1 p) Which option do you recommend and why? How would you mitigate that options negatives? You need to cite any fact or argument that is not original (footnotes are preferable to endnotes) and you should use academic references like journal articles, books, and newspaper articles. Wikipedia is NOT an academic source, nor necessarily is any random web page make sure your information comes from a reliable source. Make sure you use at least 4 references that come from a variety of sources and are relatively up to date. Your paper should be about 5-6 pages (2x-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12 pt. font, etc.), excluding bibliography. Include maps, charts, or graphs as appropriate if they are large, you can attach them as appendices. Using hard data and statistics always brings extra points!

List three to five specific skills, abilities, behaviors, attitudes, and/or knowledge areas you believe are important for success in the position. Clearly define and provide examples of each.

Assignment Leadership Competency Models
A competency model is a set of knowledge, skills, behaviors, or attributes, which defines what is needed by a person to be effective in a particular leadership position. The two articles this week titled; A leadership competency model: Guiding the NAON process and Leadership Competencies from the SHRM website, introduce the concept of competency models and provides an example of a leadership competency model. Study the practice of competency modeling and existing leadership competency models. Using the Ashford University Library, search for a minimum of three scholarly sources on competency models and develop a competency model for a particular leadership position, such as college president, mayor, college athletic coach, or chief executive officer. In your paper
• Provide an overview of your competency model.
• List three to five specific skills, abilities, behaviors, attitudes, and/or knowledge areas you believe are important for success in the position. Clearly define and provide examples of each.
• Illustrate how you would go about evaluating leaders in a specific leadership position using your model.
• Discuss how your model of leadership assists in the development of leaders. Your paper should be two to three pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages). Your paper must be formatted according to APA style, and it must include citations and references from the text and at least three scholarly sources.
