Science is hard -Studying science is not easy for anyone. People who become scientists do not do so, because it is easy, or they have a ‘knack for it.’ As shown in the table below, many scientists struggle with understanding math; are dyslexic; are on the autism spectrum; or have a physical disability. Despite these difficulties, they still chose to become scientists. People become scientists because they like the challenge; they understand that all successes require a long journey with many failures; and they have a burning desire to know: 1) how and why things are the way they are; 2) if things have always been that way; and 3) if they will continue to be that way in the future. Watch this video of Temple Grandin talking about how autism can be an asset when studying animal behavior. Research a famous scientist or inventor. (You may use any scientist/inventor listed in the table below or you may use someone not listed in the table.) Explain the following: 1) how s/he struggled; 2) how s/he overcame or managed the struggle; and 3) what s/he is famous for discovering. Remember that participation is required on a minimum of three days through 11:59 PM ET Sunday. You are also required to respond to at least 2 classmates.  It is highly suggested that the main response to the weekly discussion be posted by 11:59 PM ET Thursday of the assignment week.   Struggle Scientist/Inventor* Dyslexia Henry Ford Leonardo Da Vinci Other learning disability Alexander Graham Bell Charles Darwin Jack Horner Louis Pasteur** Thomas Edison Autism spectrum Albert Einstein** Benjamin Franklin Temple Grandin Physical disability Isaac Newton** Pythagoras Stephen Hawking Mental illness John Forbes Nash Jr. Nikola Tesla Economic hardship Alfred Wallace Galilei Gregor Mendel Marie Curie Michael Faraday Peter Higgs

The Community Action Plan: Written Report and Handout Your Portfolio Project for this class is a Community Action Plan designed to alleviate or correct a public health issue in your community. Your community can be your business, school, neighborhood, town or city of residence or birth, or county.  For option 2, your Community Action Plan will be a professional portfolio that includes a written report and a handout.  Below is a useful site where you can find an example of the elements of an action plan. http://www.cityofchicago.org/dam/city/depts/cdph/tobacco_alchohol_and_drug_abuse/LGBTCommunityActionPlanHC.pdf  (Links to an external site.) Final Paper Instructions: Your case study should have four sections: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Cure, and Prevention. Each section should be about a page in length. Your entire paper must be 4-5 pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages, which must be included.  (Links to an external site.) In the Symptoms section, describe the public health issue that you have observed in your community. What “symptoms” does it exhibit? Think about whom it affects, where it affects them, and how  In the Diagnosis section, discuss the causes of the issue and give examples of other communities that have suffered the same problem. How did those communities solve or attempt to address the issue? In the Cure section, discuss possible options for a cure for this public health issue. How can you eradicate it or reduce its occurrence in your community? In the Prevention section, discuss possible options for prevention of the public health issue that you have selected. How can you reduce the chance of people being impacted by your issue in the future? You must back up your sections using at least two scholarly articles. You may use readings other than the textbook to meet this requirement. The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with evidence. Incorporate into this final plan any classmates’ critiques that you found useful, as well as your instructor’s feedback. Identify the key community members or partners that you plan on contacting, with an explanation why these individuals or organizations make sense as potential partners. This could include partners from your list of potential partners created in Week 4 Critical Thinking Assignment Option #1 or your interview of one key partner completed in Week 4 Critical Thinking Option #2. Incorporate them into a discussion of your plan; do not just list them. Your case study should include a special emphasis on either the demographics of the affected population or the economic implications, depending on what Critical Thinking assignment you completed for Week 5. You should also include a realistic timeline for your plan. Discuss the time needed for campaigning, education, funding, building, and implementation. Use ideas developed through Week 6 Critical Thinking Assignments, from either the annotated bibliography or the feedback on your detailed outline. Final Instructions for the Handout: The handout that you will distribute to audience members describes the problem in your community and your action plan. You may design this as an outline of your presentation or as a brochure, with highlighted key points, to accompany your presentation. The purpose of this handout is twofold: to educate the audience about the issue and to help them follow along as you speak. Keep in mind that, in real life, you will have limited time to convince people of the gravity of the situation and to come on board with their support. As such, you want to be persuasive and get to the key points quickly and effectively. Your handout must be supported by at least two scholarly articles. You may use the readings other than the textbook for this course. Note: Be sure to submit both your written report and your handout for this assignment. Both files should be uploaded in a single submission to the assignment submission page.

Professional Context A portfolio is a great way to for nurses to “record and provide evidence of skills, achievements, experience, development and learning, not only for themselves, but for the information and scrutiny of registration boards, employers, managers and peers” (Green, Wyllie, & Jackson, 2014, p. 8). As you collect the artifacts that best showcase your strengths, you begin to track, reflect on, and evaluate your own learning and growth over time. Preparation For this assessment, you will be creating a professional ePortfolio and resume to take with you after completing your program. To help you complete this assessment, review the following resources as needed Instructions For this assessment, your ePortfolio will focus on showcasing your growth and accomplishments in the context of the following course competencies: Competency 1: Lead people and processes to improve patient, systems, and population outcomes. Competency 3: Transform processes to improve quality, enhance patient safety, and reduce the cost of care. Competency 6: Collaborate interprofessionally to improve patient and population outcomes. Competency 8: Integrate professional standards and values into practice. For each competency, complete the following in your ePortfolio: Create an area in your ePortfolio for the competency and label it with the course competency number or the competency language. Select the two artifacts (assessments) that you feel best showcase your accomplishments or growth relative to the competency and place them in the corresponding ePortfolio area. For each competency, write 2–3 paragraphs detailing the ways in the artifacts illustrate your accomplishments or growth in the competency so reviewers can easily understand your achievements and strengths. Place this in the corresponding ePortfolio area with your chosen artifacts.
