Explain the primary needs of the population served by this organization.

Order Description

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 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.
