POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE
Nursing, at its very core, is a profession rooted in social change and growth. As a nurse returning to school to further your education, you can learn to enhance your practice to become a “Walden Scholar of Change.” The nursing professional holds a responsibility to serve the interests of people and society. As part of this responsibility, nurses are bound by Nursing’s Social Policy Statement. Consider how your own professional practice can expand in shaping the future of nursing, improving the profession, and enhancing the quality of the health care that nursing delivers.
To prepare
- Review the Week 6 Required Reading and Media Resources.
- Read the Week 6 Assignment Rubric.
- Go to the Writing Resources page to download the SON Writing Template to format your paper. There you will also find APA-related resources.
- Find at least one current Walden Library article to support your scholarly opinions in the paper.
Assignment: 2-to-3-page Paper

Elements include caring service; privacy of the patient; knowledge, skill, and competence; hazardous service; responsibility and accountability; progress and development; ethical practice; collaboration; promotion of the health of the public; etcetera.

NURS 3100 WEEK 6 ASSIGNMENT 2
JOURNAL: OBSERVE, PROCESS, AND REFLECT
As mentioned in Week 1 Assignment, the objective of the Journal Assignment is to provide you with a private place to “think on the page.” As a reminder, the Journal is not formal writing, and only you and your Instructor will see your Journal Assignment. Although these assignments are meant to be free writing, you should revise before submitting.
As you write, think about the audience to whom you are writing and the difference between personal writing and scholarly writing. Your Journal writing falls into the category of personal writing and should be approached in that way. Think of the Journal as an academic reflection space.
To prepare
- Review the Week 6 Assignment 2 Rubric.
- Review the information about how to complete Journal Assignments
- Think about the feelings you have experienced while completing your first BSN course.
- Reflect on your goals and think about how you plan to achieve them.
- Think about the material you encountered in the course this week and consider one aspect of the classroom resources (Assignments, Discussions, or assigned readings) that surprised you. Be sure to think about why the material interested you as a thinker.
- Set a timer (on the stove, a clock, or on your phone) and write for 10 minutes without stopping.
- You may find it helpful to use the following format as a guide for your Journal writing:
- Observe. Describe the week’s content and resources as if you are writing to a person who has not seen, heard, or observed them.
- Process. Answer the question, “What does this content or topic mean?”
- Reflect. Answer the question, “What is the value of understanding this material?”
This Assignment is for you to share your feelings. You will not be graded on your writing.
BY DAY 7
Submit a minimum 150-word Journal Assignment. How do you feel about completing your first BSN course? What were the challenges you faced these past six weeks? Were you able to overcome those challenges or are they a work in progress? What tools or resources did you or would you use to overcome these challenges?
