  • The Impact of Federal Reserve Monetary Policy on GDP Components and the Money Stock

    This is a class discussion post. You will respond to this post, and answer the classmate’s response (below the bullet points) separately. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
    Discuss how changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy affect at least 1 of the 4 components of GDP (consumption, investment, government spending, net exports).
    Have the Federal Reserve’s countercyclical monetary policies been effective in moderating business cycle swings? Justify your response.
    Reply to these two classmate’s statements below whether you agree or disagree. State why and explain. or your faculty member. Be constructive and professional. You will respond in 100 words each statement.
    1)The federal reserve can raise interest rates and it can end its quantitative easing policy as a reaction to Inflation. By raising the interests investments like bonds, exchange traded funds and bond mutual funds are affected as well .When inflation is high let’s say at 7%. Consumers start having difficulty buying products at stores due to rising high prices of goods and services. Therefore The Federal reserve lowers its fedral fund rate. This is the rate at which banks can borrow from each other so that they can continue to offer loans to businesses and individuals.
    By the Fed ending the policy of quantitative easing, this is a monetary policy that allows the central bank to purchase long term securities from open markets.
    These changes increase the amount of money in the money supply. thereby encouraging lending and investments and has an overall effect of lower interest rates.

    2)Good afternoon class,
    The overall quantity of money circulating in the United States is often referred to as money stock. When looking at the overall money supply in the United States, we reference currency, demand deposits, as well as other monetary assets. Currency, by definition, has been clearly stated. Demand deposits are bank account balances that depositors can access by check. Credit cards are not a part of the money circulating in the United States. Rather credit cards are a type of deferred payment. When an individual uses credit, he/she is simply deferring the inevitable payment (with interest, of course) (Mankiw, 2015).
    To recap these points using an example, a penny is considered a medium of exchange because it serves as a unit of account and a store of value. A Mexican peso would not be considered a medium of exchange in the U.S. economy because prices are not listed in pesos. However, the peso could serve as a store of value. A Rembrandt painting is not considered money because prices are not listed in painting units. However, the painting could serve as a store of value (Mankiw, 2015). Class, what else are you learning this week about the money stock?

  • Stakeholder Presentation: Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle to Drive Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Improve Organizational Processes Title: Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Organizational and Patient Improvement: Strategies and Evidence-Based Practices

    Assessment 4
    Stakeholder Presentation
    Note:  Evidence-based
    sources published within 5 years with an APA formatted reference
    For this assessment, you will create an 8-12 slide
    PowerPoint presentation for one or more stakeholder or leadership
    groups to generate interest and buy-in for the plan proposal you developed for
    the third assessment.
    Professional
    Context
    Create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this
    presentation, you will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be
    used to introduce the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness
    of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous
    improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a
    proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved
    processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
    Scenario
    In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2
    and 3 (Please see a copy
    of the completed Assessment 2 & 3 attachments to assist in completing this
    assignment), you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership
    with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be
    evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and
    Study parts of the PDSA cycle.
    When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is
    important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s
    organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a
    presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her
    organization.
    Instructions

    achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?
    ·       
    Part
    3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
    o  
    What is the objective?
    o  
    How likely is it to
    work?

    justify the resource expenditure?
    ·       
    Part
    5: Evaluation.
    o  
    What would a successful
    outcome of the project look like?
    o  
    What are the criteria
    that could be used to measure that success?
    §  How could this be used to show the
    degree of success?
    Again, keep in mind that your audience for this
    presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization
    and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that
    another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough

  • “Advancing Nursing: My Journey to the MSN Program in Healthcare and Nursing Simulation”

    Instructions:
    I am applying to the MSN program in Healthcare and Nursing Simulation, so I have to write an admission essay including the following:
    1-   
    Describe your future career plans and how the program you are
    applying to will help 
    you achieve your career goals.
    2-

    that issue or solve that problem.
    This is what I worked on so far. Can you please incorporate this into the essay?
    1.
    My aspiration to advance in nursing
    and earn a master’s degree is deeply personal. It is a testament to my
    unwavering commitment, the unwavering support of my family, and the flexibility
    of my work schedule that allows me to pursue this goal.
    I want to continue to make a
    difference, be an example for my kids, and show them that it’s possible to
    reach your American dream: success in everything you want to do.
    Nursing care and simulation technology
    are growing hand in hand. The MSN program in Nursing and Health Care Simulation
    at UCF will prepare me and help advance my nursing profession to the next
    level. Advancements in my profession will also provide better patient care and
    advanced training to other nurses.
    2.
    To ensure success in my graduate nursing profession, I am
    fortunate to have a supportive family and a husband who believes UCF provides
    outstanding education since he is a Knight’ graduate. I also have the luxury of
    a flexible work schedule and am eager and dedicated to advancing my education
    to obtain my MSN.
    3.
    The nursing shortage is among the most significant problems
    in the U.S. healthcare system. The current nurse workforce should focus on growth
    and career advancement, which can help educate and train new nurses.

  • Comparison of APRN Regulations in Different States/Regions

    Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.
    It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.
    To Prepare:
    Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
    Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
    Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this discussion
    Create  a disscussion Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.
