RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the
requirements for clinical competencies as defined by CCNE and AACN using
nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences
come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which
licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their
hospital organization, their specific care discipline and their local
communities.

As the country focuses on the restructure of the U.S. health care
delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is
expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in
the community, and less will be available in acute care hospitals.

1. Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses
   about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and changes.
   Include the concepts of continuity or continuum of care, accountable
   care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health
   clinics.
2. Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or
   department and ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated
   changes to health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital
   settings, communities, clinics and medical homes.
3. In 800-1,000 words summarize the responses shared by three nurse
   colleagues and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with
   what you have researched about health reform.
4. A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.
