The focus of this discussion board is to facilitate you to think about how you will become more involved in your profession as you continue your journey in nursing. This will include you thinking about which professional nursing organization will fit your professional needs and goals best. As I wrote last week, I want you to think about what messages are consistently being shared through your readings and activities in MSN 601. Is nursing in 1890, 1943, 1977, 1990, 2018, 2030, 2050 the same? If so, how? If not, why? You are the leaders of today and tomorrow….the future is yours. What will your role be?
The first posting this week is by Wednesday at 1159 PM EST.
THIS LAST POST IS DUE BY FRIDAY AT 1200 noon PM EST —- THIS COURSE ENDS ON A FRIDAY.
