Process of Advanced Practice Nurse

Based on your textbook reading, discuss the process of Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) business planning from a system approach.

Submission Instructions:

Requirements: at least 500 words   |

Answer preview

There are four APNs: nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and certified registered nurse anaesthetists. APNs interested in starting a private practice in the United States must evaluate the state they wish to practice in and the specific regulations in place. States that grant full practicing power to their APNs allow them to entirely assume responsibility and liability for the patient’s evaluation and management (Heinen et al., 2019). Twenty-two states have given APRNs the authority to practice independently without the supervision or assistance of a physician. In states where independent practice is prohibited, APNs must work under the supervision of a physician. Using the business plan, the APN establishes a focus, purpose, and future strategy once a company plan is in place. It also permits them to get the necessary finance for establishing a private practice.

Survey the Generations in the Workplace

“Why is demographics so important in an engagement survey?” Robert asked.

“Our employees, by age, fall into one of four groups. Each one of these groups of employees has a different set of attitudes and opinions.”

“Okay, okay, I got it – so I have to put in questions to determine who is who when they respond to the survey.”

“Robert, our data shows that, as a group, millennials have more than three times the turnover rate of boomers and generation X employees.We need to know why they’re leaving.The engagement survey will show us if there is a problem in that area.”

“Analyses of recruiting costs show us that we are spending more recruiting dollars now than we did two years ago when we had fewer millennial employees. So, we have to get a handle on this and work to understand how to connect with what will soon be the largest group of employees in the organization.”

“Now I understand,” Robert acknowledged. “They should be making the company money instead of costing it money!”

The workplace has four generations of workers—baby boomers, generation X, millennials, and gen z—all at the same time. Each group has different attitudes and expectations around the work they do and the culture of the workplace. This week, you will learn more about each generation and their characteristics as well as how to build a culture in an organization that works for all generations.

Alley explained how to best tailor the employee experience to employees of different generations. Interestingly, all three major employee populations have different sets of expectations and place their priorities in different areas. While boomers respond superbly well to engaged supervisors, millennials have more complicated relationships with authority and hierarchy.Some of them have a more expensive set of professional expectations. Learners will work to understand the generational differences among baby-boomers, generation X’ers, and millennials. As you learn about the employee experience, post a response to one of the specific areas below:

What can HR pros do to retain millennials in the organization?

What support can HR pros seek from other staff to create an employee experience that will positively influence millennial retention?

How can information technology support a framework for an enhanced employee experience?

What can we do to ensure other generations in the company also have a positive employee experience leading to retention?

, HR should identify strategic ways of retaining the millennials (Jones, 2018). A significant consideration would be offering flexible working schedules, which allow the millennials to have a work-life balance. This balance would enable them to engage in continuous education; have time for work and personal relationships. Further, establishing work-from-home policies would encourage the constant use of technology and innovations that enhance communication and remote delivery of tasks (Meng et al., 2017). Still, offering attractive incentives based on the job outcomes and deliverables would improve their working motivation. Overall, the suggested interventions would be a win-win for the organizations and the millennials due to reducing high turnover rates, promoting growth, and work-life balance.

Technology Strategy Evaluation Memo

/in /by

After reading the case study, imagine you have been tasked by the VP of Manufacturing of your firm to develop a 2-to-4 page technology strategy evaluation memo.

Your memo should briefly describe the technology described in the white paper, its purpose, the return on investment and risks inherent in implementing the technology.

Then, you should make and articulate some assumptions about the level of development maturity of the technology, what a technology roadmap might look like for this type of decision making software and what you think the adoption or commercialization path will look like for this technology. I.e. Who will be the innovators, early adopters, etc.

Finally, when analyzing the risks inherent in implementing the technology, what do you think the authors mean when they say “The biggest obstacle (in implementing this technology) is no longer technology but social order?”

Using some of the concepts from the leadership and culture module, imagine and describe the cultural impediments and challenges for a company that would adopt this technology. Here we are asking you draw deeply upon your experience and imagination to those visible things that have to be changed.

Please be specific.

Requirements: report

Answer preview

Furthermore, cultural impediments and challenges in an organization affect social order and adoption of the technology. For instance, employees with low computer literacy or mistrust issues with technologies and language differences are cultural barriers that may prevent the organization from adopting the technology (Beekhuyzen et al., 2005). Before changing the employees’ mindsets about the mistrust issue or enhancing the literacy levels may not be easy. Additional costs would be required for the literacy training, promoting cultural awareness, and having interpreters translating to employees with language differences. Generally, this process could be expensive for the organization preventing the successful adoption of the technology.

This is a very good strategy, considering efficient delivery of services allows the company to maintain low costs, while differentiation creates unique value for its customers. Furthermore, even though numerous competitors have tried to imitate this strategy, they have so far been unsuccessful (Hitt et al., 2016). This is because even after offering low prices to their customers, the rivals could not operate at low costs or give customers any notable source of differentiation, such as the unique flying experience Southwest accords to its customers (Hitt et al., 2016). As such, sticking to this strategy will allow the company to attain long-term financial viability and sustainability.

The video emphasizes word of mouth as a source of information that influences one’s decision. In contrast, I tend to stray away from word of mouth as the only source of information and use tangible information to determine whether the item or entertainment is worth doing or seeing. The video mentions whether or not it is worth watching the Steven Spielberg movie (GfcLearnFree.Org. 2012). After reviewing the movie on various websites and word of mouth from a friend, I decided not to watch the movie. In the future, I will assess information

Small business mentality

/in /by

Your assignment for this unit is to create a proposal to garner support from partners in your family business. You are an up-and-coming manager in your family business, which is run by older family members who are sometimes stuck in a small business mentality. You have an idea that you feel can take the business international and greatly increase sales. In order to do so, you need to create and present a proposal to get support and funding for your new company venture.

Choose a name for your company and a product that interests you. For instance, if you are interested in fashion, come up with a fashion company name and a name for your new product. Do some basic research on your target market, and choose how you want to go international (e.g., exporting, licensing, joint venture, direct investment). Think of the project as if you are pitching your idea at a board meeting.

This is not a formal business plan where you need 10 pages of facts and figures. Instead, this is a proposal where you are trying to get buy-in from other family members in the business. Accordingly, create a PowerPoint presentation with at least 10 slides to present your proposal.

Include the following components in your presentation.

Describe the type of business product or service.

Explain the business objective of the international venture. What is the need?

Analyze and describe your target market for the international expansion.

Explain the dominant cultural characteristics in the region where you want to expand. Explain your chosen method of going international. Show options for finding new customers, distributors, production facilities, and/or partners.

Describe training and knowledge needs for the international venture. How will you prepare managers for intercultural management in a new region?

Your completed PowerPoint must be at least 10 slides in length, not including the title and reference slides. You are required to use at least three outside sources, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. While a simple Google search of a country or region will turn up articles, remember that you must use reliable sources for your assignment. In addition to the library, government sites are good places to gather information about different countries. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

**CSU library source/citaton is below and article is attached. Let me know if you need another one and I can find more info.

Requirements: 10 slides

Answer preview

  • Going international is one of the best ideas for the company.
  • However, it is one of the most complex strategies to implement and requires a lot of funding and resources.
  • The company will work closely with experts who are heavily experienced in that area for a smooth transition.
  • Regardless of the high costs and high risks involved, the end benefits are much more, and this will enable the company to expand into other countries and compete with other multinationals in the leather industry.
  • These are the reasons for this proposal as a way for the company to seek funding and support for going international.
