Threaded Discussion (Week 1): The threaded discussion topic for Week 1 is the “The Public Image of Nursing”. The image of nursing is important. Public image creates a framework by which others approach nursing as a profession, as well as each nurse individually. Image influences patient safety, resource allocation, public policy, recruitment into the profession, and other issues that have far-reaching consequences. Discuss the challenges and, the actions to promote the public image of nursing. Discussion post: The post will be a scholarly writing with a minimum of 200 words. It is your responsibility to formulate your own ideas in a meaningful way that advances your professional knowledge, while stimulating the thinking of your peers.

The responses must be substantial- a minimum of 100 words – a scholarly APA response with in- text citations and a reference list included. Each response to a separate classmates’ initial post must include at least 2 references that are different from the references you used in your initial post or the other response. The references for your post and each response should all be different. Do NOT repeat your comments from one response to another. Finally, when you write a response, please acknowledge the person by name whose post you’re are responding to. For example, “Hi Jeff, I enjoyed reading your post and your comments about ……”
