1 Effective Strategies for Teaching Political Advocacy Marie Lindsey, PhD, APN/CNP ISAPN Midwest Conference October 9, 2014 U.S. Capitol The Goal for APNs Full Practice Authority Independent practice for APNs is a reality in only 20 states (3 of these just passed such laws this year) and Washington, D. C. Despite recent successes APNs in other states struggle to achieve independent authority and APNs in some states do not even attempt this goal. Stated Barrier #1 to Full Practice Authority The medical society has a lot of power in our state. 1
2 Stated Barrier #2 to Full Practice Authority APNs are apathetic and unwilling to advocate for full practice authority. Let me tell you a little story More Likely Reasons APNs, like most nurses, are unaware of their potential political power and how to use it. APNs do not know the basics of government and lawmaking; They do not understand their right to personally advocate for APN and other issues that they feel would make our country better. 2
3 Root of the Problem Many APN faculty are no more informed about political advocacy than other APNs or even the general public. As a result, they avoid teaching advocacy essentials and students graduate without being prepared to influence health care policy for the benefit of patients and the profession. Policy Courses Developed at University of St. Francis (USF) Joliet, IL For MSN-FNP, MSN-nursing administration, MSN-nursing education, and DNP (post-master s nurses, not limited to APNs) Graduate nursing courses delivered online; Joliet is main campus, but also campus in Albuquerque, NM In process of limiting out-of-state students to IL, IN, IA, WI, and NM & AZ (many states have restrictions regarding outof-state APN programs). Policy Courses at University of St. Francis Content is similar for MSN or doctoral students. MSN course teaches concepts of advanced practice nursing and basics of U.S. health care system. Required course for all MSN students FNP, nursing administration, or nursing education. Required DNP course focuses on U.S. health care system and health policy in more depth. Both courses 4 semester hours; all graduate courses at USF are at least 4 SH (helps students with financial aid). 3
4 Course Assignments APN interviews (MSN students) Coding assignment (MSN students) Nurse practice act comparison (MSN & DNP) Visit to legislator s office (MSN & DNP) Class discussions and final paper (MSN & DNP, but different topics for paper) APN Interviews - MSN Interview one APN whose practice is similar to the type they are studying to become (at USF only FNP). And one different APN (CNM or CRNA or CNS, not just a different type of NP). Purpose: Make them aware of the range of APN practice to foster collegial relationships with all types of APNs and better explain other roles to policy makers. Interview Questions Ask both APNs same questions: Why they became an APN, type of setting where they work, typical day, type of certification, if they have Rx authority, including controlled substances, if need supervisory or collaborative relationship with physician, if credentialed/privileged, job satisfaction, if member of any professional organization, understanding of DNP. 4
5 Coding Assignment Provides initial exposure to E/M-CPT coding of patient encounters. Initiates student into the reality of being a provider rather than a staff nurse. Coding site: emuniversity.com Tutorial (about 1 hour) & download a certificate of completion; used to be free, now is $ Submit certificate to faculty for 5% of course grade faculty does NOT have to grade!!! Reinforces equal pay for equal work concept as a provider. Nurse Practice Act Comparison Comparison done in PowerPoint (important skill) Compare the nurse practice act (NPA) of the state where they live/work with NPA of another state (faculty assigns other state). States should be practice opposites (i.e., if home state has full practice authority, compare to more restrictive state and vice versa). NPA Assignment Value This assignment is often the most enlightening information in the course. Overwhelming majority of nurses have no idea of the huge variation of APN practice across the nation. Forces students to read their own NPA (as EVERY nurse should do) and not rely on others in their institutions to interpret the law for them. 5
6 More About NPA Assignment Value Shows those in restrictive states what the goal should be for all states don t accept the status quo. Highlights the good fortune of those in full practice authority states but: What has been giveth, could be taketh away in one way or another. They should aspire to help their less fortunate colleagues in other states. NPA PowerPoint Critique Students randomly assigned another students NPA PowerPoint to critique; critique elements very simple. Evaluate to what extent: --Other student addressed elements of rubric --Content on slides was clear and understandable --Aesthetics enhanced delivery of content --Presentation conformed to proper writing mechanics Value of NPA PowerPoint Critique Introduce students to idea that peer review process is inherent in collegial scholarship and professional growth that doing so is to actually HELP a colleague. Exposes them to a third state s NPA. Helps them learn to give and receive criticism graciously. Faculty grades the quality of their critique (is it sufficiently thorough, but courteous and helpful). 6
7 Visit to Legislator s Office Cornerstone of empowering legislative advocacy. Must actually visit a legislator s office phone calls, letters not sufficient. May be a state legislator or federal legislator (if you have online, out-of-state students, federal legislation is easier). First Concept --Federal vs State Must learn difference between Congressional/federal legislators (ones who work in Washington) vs those who work in General Assembly (state capital). Must learn which legislators to approach based on type of issues (e.g. Medicare is federal law, so contact Congressional members; practice acts are state law, so contact General Assembly members). Visit Legislator s Office Apprised that they may have to meet with the legislator s assistant (especially if federal legislator) that s OK. Apprised that making an appointment might be timeconsuming (especially if federal legislator), so need to start appointment-making process early in course. Students in same legislative district may go together. Urged to NOT say they are students and this is a course homework! This is REAL advocacy!!! 7
8 Topics for Legislative Visit Faculty assigns the topic to discuss with lots of background information. Usually limit to one topic and visit only one legislator: If there is a current hot state issue (e.g., practice act), that should be the topic. If no hot state topic or if program is online with students from several states, the home health issue works for everyone. Post-Visit Assignments Write a simple summary and thank-you note (even if visited with other students, must write own summary and note). Summary questions: Was legislator/assistant: -- knowledgeable about APN pratice and topic or at least willing to become informed -- willing to express legislator s support or opposition -- cordial vs merely civil; helpful vs confrontational; informative about political process Final Paper Summary of Course Content MSN Course Beginning of course: Students describe their own hypothetical (imaginery) health system that will be adding APNs to its workforce for the first time. Student is the project manager for this system initiative. Each week: They discuss topics learned in readings, videos, etc.,in terms of what the health system must consider when hiring APNs. DNP Course Beginning of course: Students envision ideal health care system for U.S. and revise it as they learn more about the realities of the current system, as well as systems in other countries. 8
9 Final Paper Elements - MSN Each week of class students learn about and discuss APN practice (effective use of each type of APN [and possiblypas], laws/regulations, ethical issues, quality/performance assessment, liability/risk management, certification, marketing strategies, credentialing/privileging, reimbursement, future in terms of Affordable Care Act, etc.) as would apply to their hypothetical health system (this makes topics come alive ). End of course: They write a paper that succinctly summarizes the weekly discussion topics/assignments; is formatted as a proposal for senior leadership outlining the issues related to incorporating APN practice into the organization. Final Paper - MSN Helps reinforce and pull together course concepts. Is appropriate for all students regardless of area of concentration so that as graduates they will understand and can market the APN role whether they are clinicians or administrators or educators. Final Discussion Topic - DNP Students re-state and summarize their vision of the ideal health care system for the United States, incorporating what they have read, media they have viewed, and information learned from faculty and fellow students. Again, this course-long effort is appropriate regardless of the student s prior preparation as an APN, administrator, or educator. 9

We ALL must know who our Congressional (federal) and state legislators are and visit them often. We must know which issues to take to which legislators. And we must impel our students to do the same. Our profession can go backwards yes, it really can if we abdicate our individual professional responsibility. 10
