Develop a three-dimensional advocacy approach to provide nursing leadership for

Develop a three-dimensional advocacy approach to provide nursing leadership for the healthcare, professional, and community arenas aimed at overcoming implicit bias.
Slide 1 – Assignment Title, Your Name, Course Code, and Faculty Name

Slide 3 – Provide a brief overview that highlights the importance of a nursing leadership approach for addressing implicit bias in the healthcare, professional, and community settings. Include your in-text citation.
Next, identify a specific area within the healthcare system where implicit bias may manifest, such as in patient-healthcare professional interactions, clinical decision-making, healthcare policy development, etc. From your nursing leadership mindset, conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of implicit bias on patient outcomes, provider/healthcare professional satisfaction, and organizational effectiveness.
Slide 4 – Healthcare Dimension: Outline a strategic advocacy approach of initiatives to mitigate implicit bias within healthcare institutions. Such initiatives could include training programs, cultural competence education, diversity recruitment efforts, or other initiatives you identify in the literature, etc. Define the outcome(s) you anticipate these initiatives will result in.

Slide 6 – Community Dimension: From your nursing leadership lens develop a community focused advocacy plan that addresses implicit bias through. Community level strategies could include development of community partnerships, community-based education programs, community policy or legislative initiatives, or other strategies you identify in the literature, etc. Define the outcome(s) you anticipate these strategies will result in. Include an in-text citation for the resource that supports each identified strategy.
Slide 7 – Provide a brief reflection on the potential synergies and challenges of implementing an integrated nursing leadership approach across the different dimensions (settings) described. Include an in-text citation if appropriate.

“Paper”
I am First Name and Last Name, and I have lived in Florida for almost 20 years with my mother and younger brother. I moved from Houston, Texas where I initially started as a registered nurse working in the Emergency Department. I completed my bachelor’s degree from Nursing at Miami Dade College as an employee of Baptist Health of South Florida. In addition, I worked in intensive care and emergencies for 14 years until I finished my FNP at Barry University with honors in 2019 and my PMHNP in 2022 at Husson University.
My work history during the Emergency Departments plus my passion and interest in Advance Practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner and currently as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner has been closed related to care that I received from the admission patients during my shifts and the compassion working as an Advance Practice Nurse and knowing that the client is a biopsychosocial being that is why my feelings have allowed me what I have learned in the classroom every day during this program, and I use it in future practical work. The goal as a DNP Preparate Nurse is to be able to unite all the knowledge that I have achieved here in this wonderful program to be able to increase the knowledge relate to identification, critique, evaluation, and synthesis of research at the highest level to be able at the end of this program help to improve changes to healthcare practice and quality improvement.

I live in Tampa, Florida with my parents. I currently work for almost 2 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at an inpatient and outpatient Hospital Adult setting, dedicated to our role as Psych NP in Florida. Before that I was a Family care provider. My goal is to complete my DNP.

It is a living work, containing current convictions that should be continuously revised and developed as a person critically reflects in and on their nursing practice.
In this assessment, you will present a series of reflections on how your own understanding of what it means to be a nurse has been impacted by what you have learnt in this unit. You will write a statement that captures your emerging personal professional philosophy of nursing and consider the role this statement will play in guiding your first year of learning and practice as a student nurse.
