The goal of this assignment is to simulate an advocacy meeting with a member of Congress. Each student will develop a one-page policy brief, also known as a one-pager or Ask, using the instructions in the RWJ Connect Manual (see resources). They will then develop a script for a meeting between the student as the nurse advocate for a group cause, and a person that can influence policy (i.e., Legislator, Congressperson, State Representative). As professional nurses, it is important to continue to improve verbal expression. Therefore, students will role play communicating this advocacy issue to the targeted stakeholder. Using RWJF pages11-36, develop a strategy for this meeting. The final assignment should be comprised of a) script, b) a one-page “Ask”, and c) a video recording.This project will be completed in three parts:Part 1: ScriptUse the RWJ Connect Manual (p. 11) as your template. see link: GNRS 504Z+Week 15+RWJ+CONNECT+Manual-1.pdfThe following components should be included in your script:Start your meeting right (RWJ, p. 12)Who you are and what you do (RWJ, p. 13-18)Story about how you work (RWJ, p. 19-23)What you want: Identifying and Ask (RWJ, p. 24-29)Closing the Meeting (RWJ, p. 30)Part 2: One-page ASK or policy briefDevelop a one-page ASK or policy brief using RWJ Manual suggestions (p. 31-34).SAMPLE: one page ASK GNRS 504Z+Week 15+ASK OnePager-Diabetes-Mobile-Apps.pdfPart 3: Role PlayRole-play a meeting with you, the nurse advocate for a profession group, and a member of Congress.Provide a video presentation of acting out this script (should only be 5-8 minutes, as members of Congress are busy!)Students should be prepared to respond to questions from their peers about their presentation.Example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMrmiQZKPI&feature=youtu.beThis project is for a bioethics class that is required for an FNP program. There are three parts to this assignment, as you can see. The topic for the project will be the same as a paper you completed for me in the past.
