The purpose of this paper is to apply leadership and/or change theory and strategies to an actual change idea that addresses a quality gap within a healthcare microsystem.(Med-Surgical Unit). The essay is to be written in APA format and organized with a strong Background, System Setting, and CNL Role Sections-these should be level one headings for Part 1. This assignment is to develop a change strategy plan using current knowledge about the CNL role to influence the overall system through implementing and incorporating a change in the current microsystem. The change is to decrease staff injuries on a medical surgical unit (microsystem) by supporting the need to use mobility equipment to lift, reposition, or mobilize patients with limited mobility. Background What is the literature supporting the need for this project? It is essential to use good references (minimum of 8 references_ in this section to support the rationale for selecting this topic area. System Setting Briefly describe the macrosystem. More thoroughly describe the microsystem setting where this change strategy will be implemented. Discuss the system setting size of unit, type of patients, demographics about nursing staff, interdisciplinary team work, unit culture, etc. Who are the key stakeholders in the system? What are the potential barriers (or restraining forces) to change within the setting? How will you manage the barriers? What are the potential incentives (or driving forces) for creating change within the setting? The microsystem is a 40 bed Medical Surgical with a geriatric population. Key stake holders: Front line staff. Nurses and Patient care assistants which are the ones who assist the nurses. Some of the barriers are staff resistance and insufficient staff to assist with mobility requirements to prevent injuries. CNL Role What is your synopsis of the CNL role, how it can be implemented in this setting, and how the CNL will implement the change? Use the AACN 2013 version for your guide in this section, as well as at least one other CNL journal article to describe the CNL role as it applies to change. How can you get the staff and management of your system/organization to accept the change you are proposing? Why would it be of benefit to have a CNL propose and initiate this change? Use reliable references in this section.

The Art of Persuasion: A Worksheet for a Persuasive Essay Base your responses here on your choice of one of the topic choices on the Topic Page document.LaRue EnglishWhen reasonable, informed people disagree on a subject and one tries to convince others of the validity of his or her opinion, we say (s)he tries to persuade others. To write persuasively means to use
reasoned argument (assertion and evidence)
emotional appeals
appeals to values held in common with the opponent
concession to opposing viewsTo write a persuasion essay, choose a topic from the choices on the topics choice document; choose a topic and focus that you care about, and that is of real rather than academic concern to you. You want one program to be adopted, for instance, or one person to be elected, or one side to win or one type of product bought, and it matters to you. Now, choose a topic question from the choices provided on the topic page you were given. Write that subject here (also, specify the number of the topic question you have chosen):Now consider your audience. Who will you try to persuadefor instance, your wife to agree with your choice of a car? Your parents to agree with your change of a major? Your next door neighbor to vote for your candidate for the school board?
Consider your chosen topic question carefully and your focused response. You have chosen a topic question focus from the list of topics on another document you were given. Describe your audience here:
Respond directly to your chosen topic question. What is your specific message or thesis? Write it here:Now for a very important decision. Given the subject, audience and thesis that you have selected, how can you best reach this audience? What tone will you use? Will your most effective strategy be to adopt a business tone as you address the college community on the need for more parking facilities? Will you use clear, cogent reasons supported by more reasons? Or would a better tone be anger? You wrote a business letter on the subject six months ago and no one even answered it, so now your forum is the college newspaper and you’re mad. You got a parking ticket, you missed an exam and you want someone to do something about it right now. Righteous anger is your tone, and you want to appeal to that sense of frustration that you know others in the college share. However, given the same situation and the same audience, you may want to consider using wit, thinking that if you can make people laugh, you can convince them to do whatever you want. Describe here at this early stage what you think the best tone for your audience and position:Now list the reasons supporting or confirming your position (should be two to fiveif you have no more than one, think of another subject!):
An important consideration in persuasion is to think ahead to the arguments your opponents can use against your position. Who would disagree with you? What is that person or groups strongest argument against your thesis? One method of thinking ahead is called Rogerian argument, after the psychologist Carl Rogers. This method calls for you to put yourself in the place of your opponent and try to see and understand the issue exactly as (s)he does. Will the administrators reject your call for more parking because there is not enough money for other badly needed improvements? Second, what values and knowledge do you share with your opponent? Surely both you and the administrators want students and faculty to have sufficient parking.
What values do you share with your opponent? Write them here:
What knowledge do you have in common with your opponent? Write that here:What arguments do you think your opponent will offer in opposition to your position?
Can you refute these arguments? List those arguments here that you will have to concede to your opponent, and list the rebuttals, or refutations, you can develop. (Again, if you will have to fully concede all of the opposing arguments, and you cannot counter any of them, your case will be very weak.)
List those opposing arguments here:____
Now, given all the decisions you have made, what will be the best strategy for organizing your persuasive essay? The classical scheme calls for an introduction which supplies the necessary background and states your thesis, then the confirmation of your thesis, followed by the concession and refutation section and then the conclusion. If you follow this strategy, you have several choices in the way you organize your arguments. You can begin with your weakest argument and end with your strongest or reverse that order. Or you can begin with the simplest argument and work up to the most complex. If you wish to vary the classical scheme, you can begin with the opposing arguments and then destroy them one by one, or you can make the necessary concessions as you support your own arguments. A popular organizational strategy: One section of the body of your argument can be devoted to concession-refutation, and the other sections to your other strong support arguments. Decide how you want to vary the classical scheme to suit your purposes, and outline the strategy of your essay here; what will be your thesis and main ideas:

Write a persuasive essay of approximately 700 words700 words minimumon one of the topics below. Narrow your focus carefully so that there will be room to be very detailed and concrete in your examples. Every essay needs very specific development in order to be persuasive.

What do you want to accomplish? Beware of stating the obvious in your essay; intrigue your audience of readers.

Select a topic of interest from the course and critically examine three articles associated with that topic. You may choose from the required readings or select your own readings (ensure that they are scholarly articles). (Please check with your lecturer if you choose readings that are not on the course reading list.)
For each article, your critical examination should include:
identification of the type of article it is (If it is reporting on research, identify the features of the research quantitative, qualitative, large-scale, small scale, etc. If it is theoretical or philosophical, identify the nature of that inquiry)
the aim of the research/article
key findings/ideas/theories
your discussion of what the article contributes to the research.
Conclude your close reading with a summary of how all three articles contribute to your understanding of this topic.
Word length: Maximum 1800 words (approx. 450 words per article, and a 450 word summary)
Additional informationClose reading assignment guide The following notes may support you in writing your assignment. You may select three course readings and/or journal articles that you have found related to one topic of interest. Close reading involves developing a deep understanding of a particular text. Often used in literature studies when studying small passages of text, close reading, in this assignment, requires you to become very familiar with your three articles (or chapters).
Critical examination involves reading, thinking and evaluating the text with care and insight and where possible/applicable engaging with different ways to think about the topic. It invites a thoughtful, considered, and justified examination of the article. It is not a description or summary of an article/ chapter, neither is it a personal opinion piece, rather it is your attempt to evaluate and analyse the articles/chapters merits/contributions to the research/topic/study.
Critical examination is an important academic skill to develop at postgraduate level. It involves recognising, analysing and evaluating the argument, research approaches and findings, reasoning and forms of argumentation in the chapter, books and articles you read.
Questions you can ask yourself as you read each article which may be useful in writing your assignment include: What is/are the key theory/ies or conceptual idea/s of the paper? What are the methods used in the study? Were they appropriate and valid? What data analysis process was used? Does it lead logically from the methodology and methods? What is important or significant or relevant about the studys findings? How might I assess the accuracy of any findings? Is this argument backed up by evidence (from literature or data/findings of this particular study)?
