Evidence-Based Practice Capstone Change Project *

 

Description

 

The Capstone Clinical Project is the culminating academic endeavor of nursing students who earn a baccalaureate degree in nursing. The clinical project provides students with the opportunity to explore a problem or issue that is related to one of the following nursing competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork/collaboration, evidence based practice, quality improvement, safety or informatics.

The capstone project is worth 40% of your final grade in Clinical Residency.

 

 

The project must demonstrate the student’s ability to synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills acquired in this academic program to real-world nursing issues and problems. This final project will affirm your ability to think critically and creatively, to solve practical problems related to nursing practice or the facilitation of patient-centered care, to make reasoned and ethical decisions, to propose change and to demonstrate both oral and written communication effectively with peers, nursing staff and members of the health care team.
