NURS 670A Health Policy Clinical Course
This course will prepare nurses to critically appraise health policy proposals. Students will identify a public health or nursing issue impacting their state or institution. Applying policy analysis frameworks, students will evaluate effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and ethical considerations of a proposed policy solution. Students will use evidence to guide their appraisal and research findings to offer policy alternatives. Ultimately, students will advocate through engagement with stakeholders for a policy that best addresses the identified problem. The hours spent on the policy analysis will be allocated as application based clinical practice hours for DNP Executive Leadership students. Students are expected to spend at least 126 hours on the policy analysis over 14 weeks.
Prerequisite
Open only to students enrolled in a MSN-DNP Executive Leadership or BSN-DNP Executive Leadership track.
