ZERO PLAGIARISM

Now that you are in the final course in your program, it is time to turn in earnest to preparing for certification and licensure. You will need to take and pass the national PMHNP certification exam. Once certified, you will then be eligible to apply for licensure as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) in the state desired. It will be up to you to ensure you are knowledgeable about the practice agreements, scope of practice, and prescriptive authority in your state.

Although a movement called the APRN Consensus Model is attempting to standardize NP regulations nationally, it is still the case that requirements vary state to state. In some states, NPs may establish an independent practice without the supervision of an MD. Additionally, states are currently categorized as either allowing full practice, reduced practice, or restricted practice. Full practice states allow NPs to evaluate, order diagnostics, diagnose, and treat patients. They are licensed under the exclusive authority of the state board of nursing for the appropriate state. Many states may require prescriptive authority protocols in addition to collaborative agreement.

Another important area to consider and plan for is prescriptive authority. The appropriate board, which may be the medical board, state board of pharmacy, or nursing board, grants prescriptive authority under state law for the appropriate state licensure. The federal government grants the authority to write for a controlled substance, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) verifies this action through by the appropriate state board. Drug Enforcement Agency registration is granted at the federal level and has additional requirements/fees for the registration process.

In this Discussion, you will locate and review the practice agreements in the state in which you plan to practice, identify potential collaboration requirements in your state, and understand the certification and licensing process that you will need to follow.

To Prepare:
  • Review practice agreements in your state.
  • Identify whether your state requires physician collaboration or supervision for nurse practitioners, and if so, what those requirements are.
  • Research the following:
    • How do you get certified and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in your state?
    • What is the application process for certification in your state?
    • What is your state’s board of nursing website?
    • How does your state define the scope of practice of a nurse practitioner?
    • What is included in your state practice agreement?
    • How do you get a DEA license?
    • Does your state have a prescription monitoring program (PMP)?
    • How does your state describe a nurse practitioner’s controlled-substance prescriptive authority, and what nurse practitioner drug schedules are nurse practitioners authorized to prescribe?
By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a summary of your findings on your state based on the questions listed above. Explain the types of regulations that exist and the barriers that may impact nurse practitioner independent practice in your state. Be specific. Also, describe what surprised you from your research.

Market Sizing and Competitive Market Shares

This estimates the size of your market (again, within three miles of your Geo Zone center point) and will help with market segmentation and targeting in subsequent slides

 

Please provide an estimated market size for all coffee shops (including Kiosks found on Google)  in your Geo Zone for 2021 in terms of coffee customers and sales per day, and then extrapolate to forecast the total annual market in 2022

 

Assume here that COVID will no longer be present but it might still have an impact on where people consume coffee   

 

This Market Sizing step is quite easy by using a bottom-up approach. Some of this information will be collected through the Week 3 and 4 Team Assignment.

 

  1. How many coffee businesses are there in your 3-mile Geo-Zone radius?
  2. How many customers do you estimate that each shop in this zone serves per day?
  3. What are the average sales per customer-visit, per day, on coffee drinks only? (Note: don’t include food or non-coffee drinks)
  4. What is the resulting size of the market in terms of customer store-visits per year and revenue per year in the Geo Zone?
  5. What is the resulting current market share of each competitor?

 

Please show an image of a map showing your geographical zone and the total coffee shops in this zone. A table of the above analysis might help

 

Case Background:

Expresso Coffee Investments is a consulting company that specializes in helping investors research and develop markets for investments in coffee businesses in different urban areas of the United States.

 

The CEO of Expresso Coffee, Mr. James Reinnoldt, needs your team to develop marketing briefs for the development of some new types of coffee or tea service businesses in the Puget Sound area that will launch on January 01, 2022.

 

The clients of Expresso Coffee are quite open when it comes to different types of coffee service businesses as investment vehicles. For example, they could be:

 

         Coffee Drive-Through Kiosks

         Coffee Walk-Up Kiosks

         Coffee Delivery Only

         Coffee Sit-down/Takeaway

         Corporate Coffee Clubs

         Tea Shops

         Ethnic “Coffee Experiences”

 

Being coffee purists, however, these investors want these establishments to only sell coffee and tea i.e., no loose tea or coffee beans, waters, food or pastries within your geo-zone.  In fact, they like their businesses to keep a narrow product mix: Menus will offer a minimum of five and a maximum of ten types of coffee or tea drinks with no food or other beverage options.

 

(*) There will be no “brownie” points for offering ten versus five types of drinks. A menu selection of only 5 types of large-size coffee and/or team drinks is fine. But. Teams can offer up to ten types if they want

 

Mr. Reinnoldt has also taken note of a number of different trends and technologies that might help provide a competitive advantage as well as overcome Seattle’s reputation as having the highest minimum wage in the country. Any such, any coffee business endeavor must be innovative, well targeted, and highly efficient. However, the concept must also be legal and can only take advantage of technologies that already work somewhere in the world (e.g. robots from Japan).

 

In terms of branding, he also wants each of these coffee businesses to take on a very separate identity—logo, name etc- that is separate from the Expresso Coffee name and logo.

individual feasibility study, based on the literature review
Business Idea: Coffee shop with old French Concession, European-style area.
Location: Shanghai, China
Topic: location

Example Below:

This article is about the business idea that we came up with, and the studies and reports that we have examined to support it. Our business concept is based on adopting a sustainable matter in the hospitality industry, fact that leaded on us deciding to set our bias point in India, a place that sufferes heavily from pollution and where the tourism sector plays a very important role. Hotels bars and restaurants are places that are major consumers of resources which results in a heavy generation of waste. As one of the issues that the world nowadays is facing is pollution and global warming, we have thought of a way to contribute to improving the environment and slowing down the global warming while turning these practices into profit. We have thought that by presenting and telling our customers about the „green era strategies” we could attract them by showcasing the benefits that they bring to the world while increasing their profits and strenghtening their brand image. As people nowadays are not specialized in waste management procedures, most of the time waste is treated unprofesionally and these actions are resulting in a hazardous effect not only on the close proximity, but also on the worldwide environment.
The tourism and hospitality sector of India is playing a key role in the economic area of the country, this industry is roughly contributing with 12.5% to India’s GDP. Hospitality does not only bring profits to the country but also represents a large employment generating industry with an estimated number of 13.45 million jobs provided nationwide.(IBEF,a). With a forecast of US $ 275.2 billion in 2025, this sector is of great potential, increasing from US $ 136.3 billion in 2015. Seeing an ascending trend in the touristic sector of India, we can also expect the increase in the number of tourists that will roam across the country. Most activities create waste, and the way this waste is handled, stored, collected and disposed of can pose risks to the environment and public health. (Zhu et al.,2008). The ascending trend in the tourism sector results in an increase in the business activities and accelerated the urbanization of the surrounding areas has lead to an increase in the amount of waste that is generated. Population growth and rapid urbanization means that the cities are denser and the Munincipal Solid Waste (MSW) is also increased. The data in the article indicates that in the year of 2001, 31.6 million tons were generated, while in 2011 47.3 million tons were generated by 366 cities in India, accounting of a 50% increase in a 10 year time-period. A forecast shows that by 2041 the Indian cities will produce roughly 161 million tons of MSW.
Due to the improper management of the waste, this issue has lead to hazardous problems not only for people but also for the whole ecosystem. Typically, a guest can produce up to 1 kg of waste daily which amounts into millions of tones if we account for the total number of guests 3 that pass the borders of India yearly. There are many small places that consider that waste management could be very costly and time consuming, and do not focus too much on it, fact that is very worrying, and that should be changed as soon as possible. “India is getting buried in its own garbage as a huge quantity of solid waste generated daily is never picked up and poisons land, air and water”.(Rahul Shrivastava, IndiaToday.in) This is a headline of a news article which should be very worrying for the people that live in India, but also for the Indian Government. It is being said that roughly 150.000 tons of waste are produced daily in India, out of which 50% is produced by the hospitality industry. Out of this amount of waste that is produced, it is been thought that only 20% of the waste is properly treated. One study has proven that through the participation in a waste management program provided both direct economic benefits to the hotels by minimizing their waste and indirect through empowering their brand image and the reduction of costs. Furthermore, it has been shown that tourists are willing to pay more for eco friendly products and services. Many hotels are practicing these sustainable procedures such as waste management and recycling, fact that is benefitting them by an increase in profit and by strengthening their corporate brand. The sources that we have been using are of high credibility, consisting of reports and studies from the past, and also from recent times. The sources that we have been using were using the persistent observation strategy, giving numbers and statistics from the past until recent years, numbers that have been studied and analyzed in high detail. Furthermore, our sources are also using the data triangulation strategy, using multiple data sources in time, data which has been deeply reflected on and that has proven us that our business idea is feasible.
To conclude, we have seen that the world is currently suffering from our actions and we have thought that it would be the time to take measures in this matter. The amount of waste that we are producing worldwide is unbearable and is heavily damaging our environment, and nothing is really done to make things better. As India is the place that is currently suffering the most because of this issue, we have thought that with our business idea we can raise awareness, make people to understand how critical the situation is and finally to make a change through our services. Through the articles and the reports that we have been studying, we have seen that our idea is indeed feasible, and that our business concept would definitely fit in the market that we have chosen. 4 Furthermore, the location that we have decided to set off from is a very suitable place for our organization, a place that has high pollution levels and that has also a large amount of hotels, bars and restaurants.

Instructions In this unit, you learn about macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Many people have suggested that focusing on one macronutrient at the expense of others would be a superior diet. Thus, we have high-protein diets, high-carbohydrate diets, and high-fat diets. On the flip side, we also have low-fat diets, low-carb diets, and so on. In addition to these, there are other versions such as a gluten-free diet (which is necessary for those truly allergic to wheat), a vegan diet, a raw food diet, and even a blood type diet that is based on particular blood types. Reflect on your eating habits. Which type of diet do you prefer? Why do you prefer this type of diet to other diet options?Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length.
