Click here to access the guidelines for the alternative experiential learning assignment. Preview the documentView in a new windowThis guideline should only be used by students who have received approval for their proposed alternative learning assignment.
Students should select one of the two assignments above—not both.
Regardless of the assignment option selected, the evaluation criteria outlined in the rubric accessible above will apply.
Assigned Reading(s)
Note to students: While there are a large number of assigned chapters in Modules 4 and 5, most of these are quite short (3-5 pages). As you review the content of this collection, keep the overarching objectives of the module in mind (i.e., helping students become familiar with some of the most important contemporary health policy issues facing advanced practice nurses and the larger health care system today).
Every effort has been made to optimize the alignment between the assigned readings and the specific/respective foci for Modules 4 and 5. This being said, there is considerable overlap between these discussions on contemporary policy issues and contemporary health policies (designed to address the issues). It may be helpful to think of the content of Modules 4 and 5 as “Part A and Part B”.
