ASSIGNMENT #2

Professional Organizational Meeting:

Attend the meeting of a professional nursing organization such as a chapter meeting of Sigma Theta Tau, AACN, ENA, AWHON, FNA or FONE. Students may also attend open meetings of a nurse practice council within their organization of employment so long as they are not a member of that council. Unit level staff meetings orin-servicesare not acceptable for this assignment.

Given the nationwide efforts to socially distance, review of online Webinars offered by Professional Nursing Organizations will be acceptable during the Summer 2020 semester. Follow the same processes of documenting such recorded, on-demand sessions as is instructed in the Civic Meeting assignment by including the URL in your report. The address must work and not require a paid membership to view. Business type meetings are preferred, but it is understood that these are rarely delivered to the general public. As such, general educational/informational sessions will be accepted.

Submit a formal report on the proceedings. The report must include the observations of the meeting and possible impacts on the community the organization may or may not have. Students may also attend such meetings virtually. If a virtual meeting is attended, it may be no older than 90 days. The report must include a working URL.
