Nursing and the other health care professional

Assignment

• Utilize Readings/Resources
  • Post a response to one of the questions listed below. Be sure to follow the discussion rubric guidelines found in the NURS 300 syllabus, Appendix B. I will also provide the rubric below. Please note the due dates for postings on the NURS 300 calendar. It is important to know that as a faculty member, I am sensitive to our student’s busy schedules with family, work, and school. There are due dates for postings, created to allow productive discussions between students in this course. If students ever feel that meeting a due date creates a significant challenge for them, please let the faculty member know and we will discuss an alternative plan. If students do not contact the faculty member ahead of the due date to arrange alternative plans, the grading criteria for late submissions will be followed.)
  • After the student completes their initial posting and has responded to at least two other students, the student will self-grade their discussion using the discussion quiz, located within NURS 300 Module 8 content area. The student’s self-grade will be reviewed by the course instructor for accuracy, and adjusted as needed.

Question 2.

3) Standards of Practice Review Session Video

I would like to encourage students to look ahead to your Standards of Professional Nursing Practice PowerPoint Presentation assignment, due at the end of the semester.

Beyond that, these resources are also available in the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module along with many other resources. So please also go to the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module which is located in the NURS 300 table of contents between Modules 13 and 14.

As noted in previous modules, students may choose to collaborate as teams for this assignment. This is the last week to for teams as noted below in bullet point #4. If you choose to collaborate in teams, and as those students start to communicate with their team members regarding articles/resources for their presentations, please remember to use permalinks to share articles. There is a link for about Permalinks in the Module 8 content area of this course.

Lastly, I am providing you with a sign-up sheet in OneDrive for you. You, or your team, will sign up for a topic for the upcoming Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment.

I will place a link to sign up in Module 8 and in the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resources Module as well. Please choose a topic that no one else has chosen. The resource this week – the American Nurses Association Scope and Standards of Practice – will be helpful in choosing a topic.

Please check the NURS 300 calendar for the due date to sign up for a topic for your Standards of Professional Nursing Practice presentation. After the due date, I’ll assign you a topic for your presentation.

4) Again – Upcoming Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment – Opportunity to Collaborate in Teams for this assignment at the end of the semester.

I will make note of this one more time this week. This will be the last week that students will have the option to determine if they plan to work alone or collaborate as teams for the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment that will be due Week 14 in NURS 300. If students would like to collaborate together as a team for this assignment, they need to have their teams created by the end of this week.

To learn more about this assignment, and the opportunity to collaborate as teams, please see the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module provided in the NURS 300 table of contents (between Module 13 and Module 14).

Here is information regarding how to do so.

• Create a team of no more than 5 students (2-5 students).
• Let faculty member know the members of the team prior to the end of Week 8.
• View the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact Review Video found in the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module provided in the NURS 300 table of contents (between Module 13 and Module 14).
• The teams must complete a Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact form and provide the faculty member with this form by the end of Week 8 (for convenience, the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact form and assignment dropbox will be available in the NURS 300 modules each week through Module 8).
• These teams will not be changed following submission of team members and the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact.
• Each member of the team will complete a Mustang Nursing Learning Team Evaluation form upon completion and submission of the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment during Week 14. No grade will be granted until all members of the team have submitted the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Evaluation.
