please follow all directions

Submit your 20-25 page final capstone project that synthesizes the work you completed in the previous four assessments

You will also be required to submit your completed practicum hours using CORE ELMS. You must submit a minimum of 20 hours with each assessment deliverable to receive a grade for the entire assessment.

Introduction

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Your final submission for your capstone project will bring together all of the sections you have worked on throughout this course, as well as the relevant revisions you have made to those sections based on feedback from your instructor, as well as feedback you have received or observations you may have made during your practicum experience. True professionals can learn to strive for continuous improvement in their work and incorporate feedback from colleagues and leaders to help scaffold improvement efforts. As a master’s-level nurse you will be expected to create and implement plans and evaluate their outcomes. Being able to envision a pathway for a project to move from the idea phase all the way through the evaluation phase is a critical skill. By successfully synthesizing the various sections of this project together into one final artifact, you will have demonstrated your competence in this essential skill.

Preparations

• Read Guiding Questions: Final Project Submission [DOC]. This document is designed to give you questions to consider and additional guidance to help you successfully complete this assessment.
• As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
  • What is the most useful skill or concept you learned while pursuing your MSN degree?
  • How will you leverage your degree to help you reach your ideal practice career path?
  • How will you be able to apply the work you have done on your capstone project to improve your personal practice?

Instructions

Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

For your final capstone project submission you will synthesize the work you completed in the previous four assessments. Please make sure that you have made relevant revisions as suggested by your instructor, as well as relevant additions that you uncovered during your practicum experience. The only brand-new content that you will need to create for this assessment is an Abstract and an Introduction.

This final submission will be graded using the seven program outcomes (POs) for the Master’s of Science in Nursing program. As a reminder they are:

1. Lead organizational change to improve the experience of care, population health, and professional work life while decreasing cost of care.
2. Evaluate the best available evidence for use in clinical and organizational decision making.
3. Apply quality improvement methods to impact patient, population, and systems outcomes.
4. Design patient- and population-centered care to improve health outcomes.
5. Integrate interprofessional care to improve safety and quality and to decrease cost of care.
6. Evaluate the ability of existing and emerging information, communication, and health care technologies to improve safety and quality and to decrease cost of care.
7. Defend health policy that improves the experience of care, population health, and professional work life while decreasing cost of care.

In addition, you will be assessed on how well you incorporated the feedback you received from your instructor on your previous work in this course via the following criterion:

• Integrate writing feedback to improve the clarity and quality of final product.

You will also be assessed on the completion of hours toward your practicum experience.

• Demonstrate completion of hours toward the practicum experience.

See the scoring guide for specific grading criteria related to these requirements.

For this assessment, submit your final CORE ELMS practicum hours tracking log showing all confirmed hours earned at your site during the course. All 100 hours must be documented and confirmed in the CORE ELMS practicum hours tracking log.

You will not receive a grade for this assessment without a practicum hours log showing a minimum of 100 confirmed hours for the time period of this course. Your faculty instructor will review your hours to date and will contact you if he or she has any questions or concerns.

Note for Nursing Informatics learners: Although you will complete your capstone project in this course, your specialization requires 200 hours of practicum, so that work will continue beyond this course. You cannot carry over any hours from NURS-FPX6030. Your final 100 hours of practicum will be completed in NURS-FPX6025.

Additional Requirements

• Length of submission: 20–25 pages (including references).
