You have spent the past few months reading the course material related to

have gained some new knowledge and understanding. Now, you have been given the
opportunity to apply some of what you have learned in a “real-life” exercise
where you will design your own health care workplace. You were the successful
candidate for the following job ad…

432. The incumbent has the opportunity to create a new health care unit or organization.
This new unit or organization can be a new nursing unit in a large urban
hospital, a community health facility, a remote rural health clinic, or another
type of health care organization where nurses are employed.

The board
expects a written submission of approximately 10-12 typed double-spaced pages,
excluding title and reference pages, at the completion of this project. The
