Part 3 NUR 510 Assignment (I attached a sample paper for reference)

Review of a Bill Assignment

Select an active bill at the state or federal level that impacts the professional practice of nursing. In a 3-4 page paper (excluding the title and reference pages), summarize the provisions of the bill and clearly explain what the bill will accomplish. The paper should be no more than 4 pages, typed in Times New Roman using 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1″ margins.

Your review of a bill paper should:

• Discuss the major provisions of the bill.
• Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the legislation by explaining the background and all relevant facts.
• Discuss any relevant history related to the legislation, pertinent votes, and issues that are stalling the legislation, etc.
• Use primary sources for this information.
• Identify key supporters and those who do not support the bill. Explain why some of these individuals support the bill and why some do not.
• Explore the positions of the key stakeholders in the bill, both pros and cons. Do not make assumptions about potential key stakeholders. Examine this area carefully so you are correctly reflecting the stakeholders positions.
• Discuss how the bill would impact a nurse’s ability to provide safe and quality care or to practice to the highest scope of the nursing license.
• Explain specific actions that nurses can take to assist with the passage or defeat of the legislation
• Use Current APA Style, headings and references as appropriate.

Due Sunday, 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time)

Hints from instructor

The first words of the Assignment Instructions for the Review of a Bill assignment are, “Select an active bill…”

Be sure you know the definition of an “active bill.” You cannot complete the assignment if the bill you chose has already been passed (signed into law) or died in Congress. [Did you pick up on that hint??]

A bill that died in Congress is not an “active bill.”

Don’t just make up the APA formatting for the bill you chose. Do a simple DuckDuckGo internet search for “how to cite bill APA” and find examples. Note that the reference should not include the bill’s author.
