Overview/Description: The final assignment will synthesize what you have discovered about the different advanced practice roles and scope of practice found in the master of nursing curriculum: NP, nurse educator, nurse informatics, and nurse administrator. You will review all roles and then examine the specialty for which you were admitted (NP Family Health), focusing on the scope of practice, core competencies, certification requirements, and legal aspects of practice for that specific role. You will also identify the practice environment and population you will be working with (Emergency Room), as well as peers and colleagues. In addition, you will discuss your future leadership role and participation in professional organizations.
Your paper is to be based on current literature, standards of practice, core competencies, and certification bodies for your chosen role. The paper should be 11 pages excluding the title and reference, and APA format is required.
Criteria:
• Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing:
o Compare and contrast the roles of the NP, nurse educator, nurse informatics, and nurse administrator in advanced practice nursing pertaining to clinical practice, primary care, education, administration, and research.
• Selected Advanced Practice Role (NP Family Health):
o Examine regulatory and legal requirements for the state in which you plan to practice (California).
o Describe the professional organizations available for membership based on your selected role.
o Identify required competencies, including certification requirements for your selected role.
o Predict the organization and setting, population, and colleagues with whom you plan to work.
• Leadership Attributes of the Advanced Practice Role:

o Identify leadership attributes you currently possess, and attributes you may need to develop.
o Determine how to attain and evaluate those missing attributes.
• Health Policy and the Advanced Practice Role

From the choices provided below, select a jazz musician for your paper of 600 to 800 words. You will be writing about the historic jazz style represented by this musician, as well as his or her individual performance style. An abundance of choices will allow you to write with genuine enthusiasm about one of your favorites. (Please note that we have excluded Miles Davis and John Coltrane from the list–they are simply too popular to include on the list.)

For the musician:

discuss the general characteristics of the historic jazz style;
describe the individual stylistic characteristics for which the performer is known;
select one piece that features a notable performance and provide your observations from listening to the piece;
provide a conclusion that offers insight into the artistry and significance of the piece and performer you have selected.
This assignment is an extension of the work you have been doing on the discussion boards. Topics questions can serve to guide your own investigation of the piece you have selected.

The one caveat is to make sure that you select a recording that is not assigned listening–be it recordings on the lesson pages, the discussion boards, or on the Unit listening lists. As far as that goes, there are several more lessons before the end of the semester. There is one remaining discussion board, and there are recordings on the Unit 5 Listening List (that will be presented in Lessons 13 and 14). These recordings–and all recordings from Lessons 12, 13, and 14–are also off limits. The remaining lessons are available to you, so that you can check to make sure that your selection is not a recording from the lesson pages. In addition, here are the recordings on the remaining discussion board, along with those on the Unit 5 Listening List:

Discussion Board #10 recordings:

Miles Davis, “Bitches Brew” (Miles Davis), New York, August 19, 1969

Historic jazz recordings have become very easy to purchase online as mp3 downloads. If you don’t already have the recording you have selected, an mp3 purchase is a very reasonable and affordable way to obtain the recording.

In the header for your paper, be sure to include:

The artist you have selected
The title of the piece
The year of the original recording
Other performers on the recording

Note: This is not a research paper. Your online lessons provide ample information. If quoting from these lessons, place the words in quotation marks and use a parenthetic citation, such as (Hopkins, Lesson 11). You may use other sources, but be sure to document these sources and properly attribute quotations.

Background:
In Dr. Joy De Gruy’s book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, she identifies three patterns of behavior that some African Americans possess because of the generational effects of slavery. These patterns include Vacant Esteem, Ever Present Anger, and Racist Socialization.

In the novel Tar Baby, author Toni Morrison delves into complex relationships and divisions among black characters and between black and white characters. Since the novel mostly takes place in the Caribbean, where the effects of sugar and slavery are not that far removed, the setting offers an opportunity for Morrison to investigate the cultural authenticity of black people.

Your Task: In a 6-page MLA formatted research paper, apply one or more of De Gruy’s patterns of behavior to one or two key characters in the novel. How does De Gruy’s concepts influence your views of one or more of the characters in the novel? And how does this analysis further your understanding of the theme of cultural authenticity of the black community in the novel.
