If you have already spent time online in the Walden Center for Social Change, you will be a step ahead in completing this activity. Like a traditional scavenger hunt, you will have a list of items—in this case, resources—to find and record on a template form. Unlike a standard scavenger hunt, you are expected to go beyond checking off a list. Explore each resource for how it supports your social change goals and can empower you as a professional nurse to fill the role of social change agent in your healthcare setting and community.
And whether this is your first visit to the Walden Center for Social Change or one of many, make a point to return again—and again—as you work to complete your RN-BSN program.
To prepare:
Access the Walden Center for Social Change Scavenger Hunt Template (Word document) in the Learning Resources. Review what you will need to find.
Visit the Walden Center for Social Change at https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/social-changeLinks to an external site.. If this is your first visit, you are encouraged to spend time orienting yourself to the variety of resources before beginning the scavenger hunt.
Keep in mind only resources from the Walden Center for Social Change may be used to complete the activity. You may choose to review other Learning Resources on social change this week to help craft a statement about your role as a professional nurse and social change agent.
To complete the Exploratory:
Complete the Scavenger Hunt template document with the required information and examples from the Walden Center for Social Change. For Items 1–7, include the URL where you found the information in the Walden Center. Your document should be 2–3 pages and answer the following:
Find:
“About Us” section and explain something that stands out to you from this information
A knowledge center and something of specific value to you in the information it contains
A tool for changemaker development and how you could use it
A changemaker on the site—i.e., person who is profiled—and what the individual is working to change and how you can learn from this person’s efforts
A cultural moment and why it stands out to you
From previous Walden Days of Global Service, one that addresses a need in your community, and how or why
A social change podcast, the topic, the speaker(s), and at least one idea or recommendation from the podcast that you will aim to follow or apply
Summarize:
In a statement, explain how you, as a professional nurse, can be a social change agent in your community and be specific. Cite any resources that support your statement.
