WK 4D

discussion: The DNP-Prepared Nurse and Their Communities of practice

·
The need for vaccine and immunization clinics for school age children with a school district

·
The need for nutritional assistance programs pre-K students in a state-funded early childhood education program

·
The need for diabetes education for elderly outpatients in a community health clinic

·
The need to reduce the number of re-admits of patients who have had outpatient procedures in freestanding outpatient clinics

·
The need to reduce the number of post-operative patient falls on an acute care in-patient hospital unit

These are just a few examples of the needs, challenges, and issues that may exist within a community of practice, and that merit the attention and require the knowledge, experience, and advocacy of a DNP-prepared nurse.

As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will likely belong to multiple communities of practice related to the various contexts and populations with which you are involved. Within each, you may work in a variety of ways to improve health outcomes and catalyze positive social change—at the individual patient level, as well as on increasingly larger scales within your organization, and potentially even at the national or global level.
