Title: The Impact of Full Practice Authority for Nurse Practitioners in the United States: Benefits and Challenges
In Texas, nurse practitioners (NPs) operate under a restricted practice model, meaning they must work under a supervisory or collaborative agreement with a physician to provide patient care. The Texas Board of Nursing regulates NPs and mandates specific licensure and certification requirements. To be licensed in Texas, NPs must complete a graduate-level NP program accredited by a national nursing accrediting body and obtain national certification in their specialty area. Additionally, Texas NPs are required to complete continuing education to maintain their certification and licensure. Prescribing privileges in Texas are also restricted, requiring NPs to have a written agreement with a supervising physician to prescribe medications, including controlled substances, which are limited by the Texas Medical Board and the Texas Board of Nursing (AANP, 2024a).
In contrast, Oregon offers a full practice environment for NPs, allowing them to evaluate patients, diagnose, interpret diagnostic tests, and initiate treatments, including prescribing medications and controlled substances, independently of physician supervision. The Oregon State Board of Nursing governs NP licensure and certification, requiring NPs to complete an accredited graduate or doctoral NP program and obtain national certification. The educational prerequisites ensure that NPs in Oregon are well-prepared to practice independently. Oregon’s full practice authority significantly enhances NPs’ ability to deliver comprehensive care, as they can exercise their full clinical training and expertise without mandatory physician oversight (AANP, 2024b).
The differing regulatory environments between Texas and Oregon highlight the impact of state laws on NP practice. In Texas, the restricted model imposes limitations on practice autonomy and prescriptive authority, potentially affecting the efficiency and breadth of care NPs can provide. On the other hand, Oregon’s full practice model empowers NPs to utilize their full skill set, which can improve access to healthcare, particularly in underserved areas. Understanding these regulatory landscapes is crucial for NPs to navigate their professional responsibilities and maximize their contribution to patient care (AANP, 2024c).
Question: What are the potential benefits and challenges of implementing full practice authority for nurse practitioners across all states in the U.S.?

“Exploring Personal Health Risks and Promoting Self-Care Through Mindful Activities” Introduction: As a healthcare professional, it is important to be aware of personal health risks and to actively engage in self-care practices to promote overall well-being.
Identify two health risks that personally impact you from the Executive Summary (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.nursingworld.org/~4aeeeb/globalassets/practiceandpolicy/work-environment/health–safety/ana-healthriskappraisalsummary_2013-2016.pdf)
–> Address the risks identified and select two (2) health promoting therapies that are not currently part of your daily routine (massage, relaxation, go to the beach, yoga, exercise, meditation, walking/running, napping, prayer, poetry, journaling, reading for pleasure, music/art/pet therapy, martial arts, etc.).
–> Do both activities for at least one hour, one week apart and do it by yourself.
For example: go to the beach for an hour one week then get a massage the next week. You should not include children or significant others in this activity. Turn your phone off and try not to talk during the hour.
Focus on sounds, sights, smells, tastes, and senses. Note your feelings and thoughts. Try to rest during the hour
–> compare the two therapies selected
–> Describe why you selected the therapies, how you were feeling before and after the therapy and if you would recommend for others and why. How will you participate in self-care moving forward?

“The Threat of Far-Right Rise in the EU and its Impact on Environmental Standards and Human Rights: A Case Study of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice”
my topic suggestions:
1. How the rise of far right in the EU latest elections poses a threat on safeguarding:
a) environmental standards with EU as the world leader advocate of evironmental preserv.
or b) minorities and migrants human rights living in the EU or future immingrant from countries in need like Palistine or sub saharan Africa
2.Combating Extremism: The Role of the EU’s Digital Services Act in Regulating Anti-Muslim Rhetoric and Christian Fascist Propaganda on Social Media
I am leaning more towards 1.a or 1.b but i’m open to discussion. I need primary research with at least 15 academic sources. Our professor urged us to use cases from the ECTHR or theECj if possible -ckeck websites like hudoc. I have a 3,1 gpa so write in a rather casual way and dont use things like regression models to avoid raising concerns. I would also need somekind of a draft within 10 days -

“Social Media’s Impact on Psychological Well-Being: A Controversial Debate”
In “Social Media’s Growing Impact on Our Lives,” Summer Allen (2019) writes, “The question as to how social media affects psychological well-being—both for teens and adults—is a common one. While some studies have found associations between social media use and loneliness, depression, and poor life satisfaction, these associations don’t necessarily mean that social media is to blame.”
Take a position. Does social media positively or negatively impact psychological well-being?
First, title your post either “Social Media Positively Impacts Psychological Well-Being” or “Social Media Negatively Impacts Psychological Well-Being.”
For your initial post, address the following:
Make your case by persuasively arguing your position. Include at least one scholarly article to support your position.
Link social media’s effect on psychological well-being to at least one programmatic course theme:
Self-care
Social justice
Emotional intelligence
Career connections
Ethics

“The Consequences of a Failed Ratification: A Look at the States Without a Constitution” The Consequences of a Failed Ratification: A Look at the States Without a Constitution Without the ratification of the Constitution, the United States would
It took nine of thirteen states to approve the Constitution and create the United States and the federal government of today, but what if they did not get the votes and there was no Constitution? No federal government, no 1st, 13th, 15th, 19th amendments, etc., and states can make whatever laws they wanted. What would the states look like today without the federal government and laws? What rights would people have today in these states? Looking at the amendments listed above will give you some help, but feel free to choose other amendments, federal laws or civil rights, etc. Additionally, look at what some states are doing to people rights today to help you. You should examine states that existed before the Civil War, the North(east) and South for example.
Read the discussion thoroughly, the rubric and criteria are on all discussions.
RUBRIC: Your reply should be a minimum of eight sentences, and you should reply to two of your peers in at least three sentences each (for full points).
