Planning is the key to the successful completion of this course and program-related objectives. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment requires early collaboration with the course faculty and your course preceptor. Students must establish a plan for successful completion of

1. The required 50 community direct clinical practice experience hours, 50 leadership direct clinical practice hours, and 25 indirect clinical experience hours.
2. Completion of work associated with program competencies.
3. Work associated with the completion of the student’s capstone project change proposal.

Students will use the “Individual Success Plan” to develop an individual plan for completing practice hours and course objectives. As a part of this process, students will identify the number of hours set aside to meet course goals.

Student expectations and instructions for completing the ISP document are provided in the “NRS-493 Individual Success Plan” resource, located in the Study Materials and in the assignment instructions.

Students should apply concepts from prior courses to critically examine and improve their current practice. Students are expected to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.

After the ISP has been developed by the student and approved by the course faculty, students will initiate a pre-conference with the faculty and preceptor to review the ISP.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Week 3 Touchpoint Reflection: Financial and Budgeting Principle

Guidelines for Touchpoint Reflections

A downloadable version of the guidelines, which includes further information, is available for access in the week 1 discussion thread.

Reflection Information

EXPERIENCE

This week’s readings contained a great deal of information on financial and budgeting principles. Some of you may have had some familiarity with the concepts and maybe even experience in working with them. However, there is always something new to learn. Describe your prior experiences with financial and budgeting principles, whether personally or professionally. Include your current involvement in budgeting at your institution.

REFLECTION

What pre-conceived notions related to healthcare financial and budgeting principles did you hold before this week that you understand better now or for which you have a different perspective? Reflect on at least two specific concepts.  How have these new revelations influenced your thinking related to access, availability, and quality of healthcare?

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE

• How has your enhanced knowing affected the way you view your proposed project?
• What areas of additional financial or budgeting data gathering have you identified as a need for your plan?

Literature Evaluation Table 

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of   research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to   articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant   peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the   student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the   progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components   of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight   peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table   that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the   eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years   and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this   course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive   analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A   systematic review may be used to provide background information for   the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.   Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete   this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and   references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,   which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student   Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to   beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for   successful completion.
