INTRODUCTION Years ago, the role of the nurse was limited and easily described. In today’s world, the nurse’s role is complex and occurs in diverse settings with a broad client population. Often, nurses must combine several professional roles to manage the full range of their responsibilities. Nurses also manage roles that have limited domains of actual authority but large domains of influence (and vice versa). Master’s level nurses are now required to be leaders: whether formally or informally. For this task, you will select a healthcare organization in your area to analyze and then prepare a consultative change recommendation paper. As part of your analysis, you will interview a nurse leader in the selected organization. Your consultative change recommendation paper should be 7–10 pages and in APA style. Although you are only submitting this paper to WGU as part of your requirement for this course, you should prepare this document as though you would present it to the executive board of the organization you analyzed. In order to complete this assessment, you must carefully review and closely follow the attached “WQT2 Performance Assessment Guidelines” document. SCENARIO You are a nursing consultant who has been assigned to analyze a healthcare organization in order to identify a change or improvement needed by the organization.

After your analysis, you will write a consultative change recommendation to present to the executive board of the organization. REQUIREMENTS Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.
