The capstone project focuses on a problem or issue identified during the education practicum experience and suggests an evidence-based solution to the identified problem or concern. Your capstone project should be an issue related to a nursing education issue and should not be a clinical paper, because you are working on an educational rather than a clinical degree. Your mentor will help you identify an issue within his or her workplace that could be developed into a capstone paper.
The capstone project focus topic should provide sufficient depth and scope to integrate evidence-based practice, multidisciplinary theory and advanced nursing practice concepts into areas specifically related to the role of the nurse educator.
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to provide learners with the opportunity to initiate the capstone project. The student will identify a practice issue or concern that impacts the role of the nurse educator, and will conduct a database search on the topic. The student will develop an annotated bibliography to provide an understanding of the current literature on the focus topic. This will provide the foundation for development of the capstone project in NR660.
Course Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
(CO1) Synthesize knowledge from evidence-based educational and nursing literature as a foundation for the educator role. (PO 1, 2, 10, 11)
(CO7) Analyze an educational issue that impacts the teaching/learning environment. (PO 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11)
Due Date: Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 6
Total Points Possible: 100 points
PREPARING THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
1. Identify a capstone topic area that was encountered during the nurse educator practicum experience. Briefly describe (1 -2 paragraphs) how this topic impacts the practice setting.
2. Conduct a database search on the selected capstone topic
3. Create an annotated bibliography that includes a minimum of ten (10) scholarly citations related to the capstone topic.
a. For each annotation, first provide the reference, cited in APA format 6th edition.
b. The reference should be followed with a 1/4 to 1/3 page summary of the main concepts of each article.
c. Continue to provide first the reference, then the annotation, for a total of 10 articles.
4. Provide a title page and running head. A reference page isn’t necessary since the references precede each annotation.
