Assignment: Capstone Synthesis Practicum
Question Description
journal Entry 2
This week, you finish and turn in your second journal entry. Your journal draws on evidence, concepts, and/or theories studied in this program, particularly those relevant to your specialization. What did you notice during your Practicum Experience that you want to analyze in your journal writing?
To get ready:
In Weeks 4-7, reflect on your Practicum Experiences.
Consider the evidence, concepts, and/or theories (evidence) learned throughout this program as well as your area of specialization.
Analyze a problem, issue, or situation you witnessed during your Practicum Experience.
Consider what you have observed within the context of your specialty using appropriate concepts, principles, and theories, using at least three peer-reviewed sources of evidence. Pay close attention to observed events that differ from the scholarly literature.
Determine whether the problem, situation, or issue was handled in a consistent or inconsistent manner with the theory, concepts, and principles detailed in the evidence.
Consider how you might approach the observed problem, situation, or issue differently, given the various evidence-based approaches available.
Finish the Practicum and Journal Entry 2:
Do the following in your saved version of the NURS 6600 Practicum Journal document:
Write a 250- to 300-word journal entry for each week (identified as Journal Entry 2/ week 4, week 5, week 6) in which you do the following:
Weekly journal entry focusing on the role of leaders in COVID-19 disaster situations both globally and at their workplace.
Analyze what you have observed within the context of your specialty using appropriate concepts, principles, and theories, using no fewer than three peer-reviewed sources of evidence per week. Pay close attention to observed events that differ from scholarly literature.
Explain how the problem, situation, or issue was dealt with in a consistent and inconsistent manner with the theory, concepts, and principles detailed in the evidence.
Formulate a plan for approaching the matter differently based on the various evidence-based approaches that can be used in dealing with the problem, situation, or issue.
Include references right after the content.
For your journal entry and references, use APA format.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
