Name: Date: Overview: Legislator E-mail Nurses need to take a proactive role in nursing policy. Identify one of the Forest Hill legislators from the data analysis in-class and prepare an email. Identify one issue found in the Forest Hill data you analyzed related to an SDOH problems (food insecurity, living conditions, stress, transportation issues, employment, finances, etc.). Do not use diabetes; this was only in the in-class assignment. You are to use one SDOH issue from Forest Hill and identify a policy change that the legislator could put into practice. There are more than one legislator for Forest Hill, Texas’ two zip codes. Write an email to only one legislator from one of the zip codes. **Note: The mayor is not a legislator. Some legislators in Texas have no power in Forest Hill. Do not guess – find one legislator from the zip code only. There is a hefty penalty for not following the directions. To organize your thoughts, develop a policy for the legislator in the data assignment, complete the issue description, and identify the action plan before composing the email (complete parts A, B, and C below). Twenty-five points are automatically deducted for not following the directions completely. Use only current information from credible online sources to enhance this email. For example, if your policy states that the level of education in Forest Hill was low and this might lead to poor eating habits, find supporting evidence in a journal. Support your thoughts with CURRENT references (less than five years) and in-text citations (either short quotes or your summary of the author’s words). Journals are always the best resource. Do not use newspapers, blogs, or other less reliable resources. Remember to cite the author, page number, and year if quoting. Use current APA format but single space everything. What would you suggest for a legislator to do to fix this problem? Tutors, mandatory class attendance, etc., are not usually something a legislator can fix (possibly the mayor might). If suggesting having smaller school sizes or anything relating to spending a lot of money, where will it come from? Does the legislator need to propose a bill? If so, what would it say, and who would pay for it? Include all this information. Write the final e-mail in the space provided only. Be courteous, respectful, and clear. Again, use single spacing – this is an email, not a letter. The whole document should be a total of one page, including references. Upload and submit the email assignment you have prepared into Canvas. It is not necessary for you to send the email unless you choose to do so. Objective: Identify and model a professional nursing role in shaping future nursing care. Fill in sections A and B completely. Follow the information in C before starting your email. Remember: Twenty-five points are automatically deducted for not following the directions completely. Identify one Legislator for Forest Hill, Texas, at the local or state level.

Record the name, title, and Legislator’s contact information: The Honorable (name here) – Email Contact Information (or physical address if not available): Issue Description and Action Plan. Complete the following section to help you organize your thoughts. State the issue you want to address in 1-2 sentences and what you want the legislator to do. Besides what the legislator can do, what nursing interventions may help with the problem? What help/assistance are you requesting from this legislator? BE SPECIFIC. c. Pretend that you either live in the town or will soon work in the town as an RN.
