- Students will demonstrate the ability to think and act critically and creatively about nursing practice issues and will further develop their analytical and ethical leadership skills necessary to address and help solve these
- Students will refine the ability to utilize evidence-based research and demonstrate proficiency in written and communication.
Assignment Instructions:
The best approach to accomplish change must include a thoughtful analysis of the problem. The first step in this analysis is to identify the problem and then answer several questions that are useful in framing the problem:
- What are the scope, duration, and history of the problem?
- Who does it affect?
- What data is available to describe the problem?
- What are the implications of the problem?
- How does/will your selected organization support your topic?
In the template below you will answer the questions above, outline your plan of action and discuss a proposed solution. We realize that your plan of action may change as your progress through your project. However, your problem and the framing of the problem will not. Your answers should be based on your experience and supporting evidence. The template below outlines critical parts of developing a plan of action. Be attentive to the instructions and remember you are professional nurses; writing and thought processes should be indicative of scholarly writing.
