Write and post three objectives. One should be written for each of the following environments: classroom, laboratory (or simulation), and clinical. The objectives must be written at the application level or above. Provide at least two peer-reviewed references and or textbook sources that support your thoughts.
Students are required to know the expectations or “etiquette” that pertains to the discussion board. Students who abuse this forum by making harassing, inappropriate or abusive statements will be removed from the specific discussion and receive a zero (0) for that assignment. Remember, your participation is essential to connecting with other students and developing an online learning community. The “discussion board” is a public forum, so please do not post personal/private information.
Each post must be your new work. While your initial response to the discussion questions should be concise (no more than 300 words), written with accepted conventions of standard American English, and use of a minimum of two in-text citations and references in APA 7th edition format, follow-up postings may be more informal and relaxed. However, please grammar and spell-check all postings. You must have an original and a responsive posts to two (2) students in order to get credit for your discussion.
