Assignment - Professional Roles and Organizations
Overview

There are many roles a professional nurse may assume. As a member of a professional group, nurses should become active in one or more professional nursing organizations. There are many reasons to get involved-becoming involved in a professional nursing organization provides the nurse with a voice to address issues that impact nursing practice and provides a means to help the nurse stay up to date in their area of practice.

Student Instructions for Sentinel City®

Sentinel City® is an educational simulation developed by SentinelU to represent what you may find in any real United States city. This educational simulation provides a unique opportunity to explore the health and environmental issues facing American cities today, without having to leave your home. You will be able to take a simulated bus trip and/or walk around the city while observing the environment and people of Sentinel City®. Through your observations, you will gather information to assess potential health issues and risks within this educational simulation learning environment.

We encourage you to keep a notepad nearby and take notes about your observations of the city. You may take the bus tour as many times as needed to complete your assignments. You will assess different factors that may contribute to or detract from the health and wellness of the community and its citizens. After making your observations, you will return to the course and complete the related assignments. Please review the grading rubric for each assignment prior to exploring Sentinel City®.

During your first trip through the city, you will focus on the core of the community, its people. You may be asked to describe the people you see, and any expected or unexpected findings related to the citizens of Sentinel City®. Your keen observations will be the foundation to successfully completing upcoming assignments within your course.
