How has the APRN Consensus Model changed education and licensure requirements in Texas, if any? Analyze the potential benefits and risks of these changes.

DISCOURSE DEVELOPMENT
Much of this course will be devoted to professional discourse development. Discourse, as opposed to mere discussion, shapes the way we perceive the world and its phenomena, such as health and healthcare. In other words, the way we talk or write about an issue or object has the power to determine the way we recognize, think about, and value that issue. As emerging nurse-advocates and educators on the front line of policy work, it is imperative not only that you understand the power of your professional discourse but also that you cultivate it. Through command of the discourse, you can effect change!
Your first exercise in discourse development focuses on Policy.
