commitment toward fostering innovation for change in nursing practice?

Week 11: The DNP-Prepared Nurse as an Advocate for Social Change
When you think of an advocate for social change, what comes to mind? As it impacts the role of a nurse,
how does a nurse present advocacy for promoting social change?
Throughout this course, you have considered and reflected on how the DNP-prepared nurse advocates
for positive social change, whether that stems from direct patient-level care or more broadly to that of
community-level or population-based actions to promote nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will also function as a nurse leader in identifying and serving as a
champion of those nursing practice and healthcare-related issues that merit transformation. In what
ways will your advocacy and leadership impact the patients, communities, and populations you serve?
This week, you analyze the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in promoting advocacy for social change. In
your Blog Assignment, you and your colleagues will have the opportunity to share your perspectives and
examine your role for positive leadership and you continue your program of study. NURS 8002 Positive Social Change and the DNP-Prepared Nurse DQ
