Stakeholders and Puzzle Pieces

 

Hello Class,

Excellent job last week with your responses in the blog! You guys are right on track! We have spent the past 2 weeks discussing the 4 spheres of political action in nursing and have looked specifically at the workplace and professional organizations. It is time to take a closer look at another sphere, which is community. Ah, the community! What could you possibly contribute to a community issue? The answer... A solution! I really enjoy talking about and seeing how nurses work within their communities to fix issues affecting the overall health of the community. The key to success in making a change within your community is support and buy-in from key stakeholders. Identifying and making a strong case to stakeholders is so vital because they have the resources, finances, partnerships, and ability to take your idea and help you turn it into reality. Stakeholders are like puzzle pieces; you need to figure out how to make them work together to make an effective change. Below is a wordsearch puzzle. There are 5 stakeholders listed within the wordsearch. I want you to find them and then post your findings in the blog. Your text book will be a useful tool for this exercise! Have fun ~ Laraine
