Professional Advocacy through Association Membership

Professional advocacy is about supporting the interests of ones profession. Professional associations advocate for their members by uniting as a single voice and taking action to advance or remove barriers to the profession.

They unite as specialty groups to further the goals or interests of their profession. Each of these organizations has a purpose or mission, membership benefits, and role in professional advocacy. While individually the NP may be able to contact a legislator on an issue of concern, a professional organization has the collective power of being able to be heard in numbers. These organizations are poised to take the course of action needed to influence the stakeholders. Just as these groups take action to make a change, individual NPs must take action to promote

Topic: Case Study: Mrs. Georgia DAngelo

Mrs. Georgia DAngelo is 76 years old. She has been married to her husband Marcus for 58 years. Marcus is 80 years old. The DAngelos live in a well-kept, middle-class home. The DAngelos have three grown children: two sons and one daughter. All of the children are married and only their daughter lives close to them. The two sons each live more than 3 and a half hours away. The DAngelos are very close to their children and talk with the children every day. Four months ago, Mrs. DAngelo noticed her skin was yellowish in color, and upon calling her primary care provider, she was told to go immediately to the emergency room for evaluation. After having a CT scan of the abdomen and laboratory studies, Mrs. DAngelo was told she had pancreatic cancer and that she should immediately have a Whipple Procedure. This news was devastating to the DAngelos and their family and friends. Mrs. DAngelo called a friend who is a nurse and asked who she might go

In Student Plan you will interpret and analyze the information garnered from the observations and present implications for teaching and learning. 

The Student Plan is based on the inferences from all three observations, and the connection between inferences and proposed strategies is clear.

The Student Plan includes four specific teaching strategies to support the students learning and development.

-The Student Plan includes a detailed description of strategies and includes a specific procedure for implementing these strategies that is described in elaborate detail.

--The Student Plan includes a highly descriptive rationale for using the proposed strategies and offers a critical analysis of how these strategies could support the students development and learning.

-The Student Plan includes strategies that are supported with at least three psychological theories of child development, and demonstrates knowledge of evidence based practices.

Question 1: When and why did the era of modern campaign management begin?
The era of modern campaign management began in the early 20th century. This is when campaign managers replaced party bosses and became the ones to forge the direction of the party. In the previous ear, the party bosses would call the shots on different party issues and how they would approach an election. However, this was not a sustainable model. For instance, this sometimes made some places to have a single party. With modern campaign management, the parties would be able to compete equally in the elections.

Using the Excel File:

1. Pick 3 stocks from the Most Actives List and download the last three years of  monthly adjusted prices for these stocks and S&P 500 Index to Table 1
2. Calculate the monthly retuns  of these three stocks in Table 1
3. Calculate the standard deviations of returns for three stocks and a portfolio with equal investment in three stocks  using Table 5, similar to the TESLA example we did in class. Use the excel function STDEVP to check your answer and enter your findings in Table 2
4. Use the CORREL Function to calculate the Correlation Coefficient of monthly returns for each pair of  stock and enter in Table 3. Whick pair provides the greatest gain from diversification? Why?
5.Calculate the  beta,  market variance and firm specific variance for three stocks and a portfolio with equal investment in three stocks  using the TREND function in Table 4
