Creating Environments for Excellence in Nursing Writing Assignment
Each
student will complete an 800- to 1000-word scholarly paper (not including Title
and References pages) presenting an evidence-based case for what they determine
as two best strategies towards Creating Environments for Excellence in
Nursing. The paper is to focus on suggested themes, presented
appropriately with APA headings for a Student Scholarly Paper. Proper use of
headings will help to organize the paper and reinforce consistency for the
reader. (Refer to pages 47-49, Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association, 7th Edition
for formatting levels of headings.)
Students
are expected to address themes by applying concepts and analytical
understanding gained in a literature search of current and acceptable journal
articles, videos or research, and any assigned course readings. A minimum of
five references should be used. Three of these sources should be from
peer-reviewed articles. See Rubric Creating Environments for
Excellence in Nursing: A Writing Assignment for complete grading
criteria.
To
help organize the paper, focus on the following:
1) Introduction
Examine
sustainable and economical strategies to develop professional environments that
enhance nursing excellence and promote patient-centered care. Discuss the circumstances that
contribute to unhealthy (nursing) work environments. Include current
challenges faced by nurses and choose two viable strategies / opportunities for
creating a supportive working environment that retains nurses while promoting
safe, high-quality care.
2) State
your first strategy or opportunity for creating an environment of nursing
excellence.
Explain
the reason you feel this is a second sustainable and economical strategy to
develop professional environments that enhance nursing excellence and promote
patient-centered care. Backed by evidence, present the benefits of this
strategy. Consider any potential threats to your specific strategy and
present realistic, yet creative solutions to possible barriers. Make certain,
of course, to cite and credit your sources.
3) State
your second strategy or opportunity for creating an environment of nursing
excellence.
Explain
the reason you feel this second strategy is a sustainable and economical
strategy to develop professional environments that enhance nursing excellence
and promote patient-centered care. Backed by evidence, present the benefits of this
strategy. Consider any potential threats to your specific strategy and
present realistic, yet creative solutions to possible barriers. Make certain,
of course, to cite and credit your sources.
4) Summary
or Conclusion
Present
your final statement /conclusion in a way that summarizes content while, at the
same time, leaves the reader with a positive, lasting impression. Make your best effort to avoid
a ‘copy and paste’ approach to the summary. By posing a question or
delivering a thought-provoking final statement, the reader will remain engaged
and (ideally!) interested enough in your topic to research and explore
further…they may even be prompted to take action!
