Emphasis is on the development and implementation of the role of the masters prepared nurse in the areas of health care policy, organization, financing, ethics, human diversity, and social issues. Domains and competencies both common and unique to the advanced practice specializations are introduced. These include: advanced role relationships, the teaching-coaching function, managing and negotiating health care delivery systems, social, cultural, and political forces affecting the health care system and the leadership role advanced practice nurses must assume to influence ethical and responsible domestic and international health care policy. All students completing this course will articulate the domains and acknowledge the competencies of the advanced practice role CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: The Master of Science in nursing program is built upon eight (8) processes which comprise the advanced nursing practice: (a) advanced nursing practice, (b) advanced theoretical application, (c) inquiry, (d) theoretical analysis, (e) health promotion and disease prevention interventions, (f) social, economic, and political interpretations, (g) cultural understanding, and (h) professional role development.

 *Note: Graduate students are required to achieve a minimum of 84% on all tests/exams. If a student does not attain an 84% as an average for all tests/exams, the student will receive an earned grade consistent with the averaged test/exam score for the course, and may not progress to the next core/specialization course. Students are accountable for all course specific evaluation methods, such as quizzes, papers, presentations, etc. Credit earned on written assignments, quizzes and presentations will not be applied to the final test/exam average if the student has not achieved an unweighted average of 84% in all tests/exams. GRADING SCALE A = 92-100 B = 84-91 C = 76-83

A grade of 'C' or below in a course requires the student to successfully repeat the course. The School of Nursing does not use a +/- grading system.

The Handbook is available on the Barry Student Web (http://student.barry.edu/) . Students are expected to attend class, nursing labs, be punctual, and participate.

DISABILITY STATEMENT: A student who has a documented disability or is in need of academic accommodations should notify the professor of this course or contact the Office for Students with Disabilities at (305) 899-3489 in order that special accommodations may be made. Accommodations are individualized and in accordance with 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Cheating is defined as the attempt, successful or not, to give or obtain aid and/or information by illicit means in meeting any academic requirements, including examinations. Cheating includes falsifying reports and documents. Plagiarism is defined as the use, without proper acknowledgment, of the ideas, phrases, sentences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or speaker. Plagiarism includes the unauthorized copying of software and the violation of copyright laws (Barry University Graduate Catalog, 2012-2013, p.47). Additional information regarding academic dishonesty is found in the Barry University Graduate Catalog 2012-2013). In this class, these offenses will result in an assignment grade of 0 (F) and further action as allowed by the Universitys Academic Dishonesty Policy. COURSE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: Students are expected to attend all classes and participate. Unexcused absences will result in a lowering of the course grade or in a request to withdraw from the course. If you are unable to attend a class, please notify your instructor and arrange with one of your classmates to pick up handouts and/or share the notes with you. If an emergency arises and a student is unable to sit for a scheduled exam, it is the students responsibility to notify the faculty member at least one hour before the scheduled test time. The student is responsible for setting up an appointment to take the examination within one week. A grade of 92 (not 100) will be the starting grade for the makeup exam. If the student does not make the exam up within one week, a grade of zero (0) will be assigned for that exam. Due dates are established for reasons of equity. It is not fair to peers who complete assignments on time if other classmates have extra time to work on their assignments. It is also not fair to the professor who must grade assignments in a timely fashion. If a graded assignment is handed in one day late, a grade of 92 will be the possible starting grade, and between 24-48 hrs late, an additional 5 points/day will be deducted including weekends. No late assignment will be accepted 48 hours past the due date and time. A grade of zero (0) will be given to the late assignment. There are occasional extenuating
