Discussion Part Three Mary expressed that she wants to work directly with patients. She is familiar with working in a large hospital system, and prefers to remain in her current town when she graduates. She has considerable clinical experience in pediatric, surgical, and emergency nursing. Discussion question: Based on Mary’s experience and interests, which role would you choose for her, and why? Week 2 discussion Discussion Part One Mary, a registered nurse, decided that she wants to become a CNP. She applied and was accepted to the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Chamberlain College of Nursing. She received a course curriculum which outlined the courses necessary to complete her degree. One of the early courses in the program curriculum is NR-501 Theoretical Basis for Advanced Nursing Practice. You are a student colleague of Mary’s enrolled in the same class. On the class Q & A discussion board, Mary posted, “I took nursing theory classes fifteen years ago in my bachelor’s program. I don’t understand why I need to take theory classes again.” Discussion Question: How would you respond? Develop a logical response to Mary’s post. Provide evidence to support your arguments. Discussion Part Two Mary wrote, “All nursing theories are the same and certainly there is no connection to APN practice.” Discussion Question: How would you respond? Develop a logical response to Mary’s post. Provide evidence to support your arguments. Discussion Part Three The following response on the discussion board was posted by the course instructor: “The advanced practice roles of CNM, CNP, CNS, and CRNA require an intensive set of clinical skills, understandings, and integrative abilities that synthesize advanced practice nursing knowledge.” Discussion Question: What does the course instructor mean by “integrative abilities”? Provide evidence to support your response. Week 3 discussion Discussion Part One You are a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) employed as a contact employee in a busy primary care practice for two years. The providers in the group include one physician, who is also the owner of the practice, and two other nurse practitioners. The owner of the practice recently made comments about the need to produce more revenue. You relate with his concerns and feel that you have several strategies that could be helpful. Your contract is up for renewal in three months. You are highly satisfied with your job and want to stay in the group. You see 20 patients per day on average, and take call every third weekend. Discussion Question: What negotiation strategies should you use to propose a contract renewal? Use logical reasoning and provide evidence based rationales for your decisions. Keep in mind that your negotiation terms and conditions must be within the legal scope of practice for an ANP. Discussion Part Two As revenue generators, NPs must be aware of how their work contributes to the overall revenue of the clinical practice. You see 20 patients per day on average, and take call every third weekend. According to Buppert (2011), an NP who sees 15 patients per day at $56 per patient visit, on average, brings in $840 per day. Allowing 1 week off for continuing education, 1 week off for illness, and 4 weeks off for vacation, this NP will bring in $193,200 a year, potentially. However, not all bills are paid. With a 90% collection rate—a reasonable collection rate for an efficient practice—this NP actually will bring in $173,800 per year. An NP who sees 24 patients per day will bring in $1344 per day, or $309,120 per year in accounts receivable. With a 90% collection rate, this NP will bring $278,208 to the practice (Buppert, 2011). Discussion Question: In this scenario, what are you “worth” to the practice? Use logical reasoning and provide evidence based rationales for your decisions. Keep in mind that your negotiation terms and conditions must be within the legal scope of practice for an ANP
