Week 2 Journal
Bi-weekly Practicum Journaling
Every two weeks, you will submit a reflective journal to the discussion forum for review by course faculty and your classmates. All are expected to engage and support one another by sharing these experiences in a supportive, constructive, and professional environment. Journaling is an active learning technique that is meant to enhance reflective practice (Blake, 2005). Reflective practice involves looking back over what has happened in the practice setting in an effort to improve performance or to encourage professional growth (Ruth-Sahd, 2003).
Your Weekly Practicum Journal is:
A personal, introspective subjective account of your practicum experience and how your practicum experience relates to Healthy People 2020 and course objectives. Include events that occurred in your practicum experience, and be sure to describe your thoughts and feelings about those events. How did your perceptions change? What did you learn that was unexpected? Describe your thinking about your thoughts and feelings regarding the new learning you experienced.
Connected to South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism).
Connected to prior coursework and experiences through reflective analysis.
Written in a scholarly, academic style using APA style format. Two or three sentences are not sufficient nor are daily logs/reports of activities.
As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings.

Week 10 Project
Instructions
Evaluation of Plan Effectiveness Criteria
Over the past nine weeks, you selected an aggregate and conducted a risk assessment of its health, developed a care plan to address those health risks, planned to implement one intervention in a small group from the aggregate, and considered the effectiveness of the intervention on the health of the small group. It is time now for you to present your final submission of this Capstone project.
There are two parts to this assignment.
Part 1: A 10-15 slide power point presentation addressing the following:
A detailed description of the aggregate including strengths and weaknesses
A risk assessment of the aggregate
Diagnoses based on the risk assessment
A detailed care plan for the aggregate
A description of at least one intervention that was implemented (or the implementation itself if presented as a power point)
Part 2: In a Microsoft Word document of 3-4 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the evaluation process of the intervention(s) you implemented.
Include the following in your paper:
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention:
Did I implement the intervention as planned? If not, what were the reasons?
Interview/measure outcomes for two or three members of your group to determine/measure the effectiveness of the intervention(s).
Include transcripts of the interviews with the participants from the group in the appendix of your paper.
Finally, compare the projected effectiveness of your plan before implementation with the actual effectiveness after implementation.
Are there visible signs of success (for example, reduced health issues)? If yes, describe. If no, describe what signs you would anticipate and rationale for no change.
You may want to use the responses to the above two criteria to measure the actual effectiveness of the intervention.
Conclusion
Cited at least two scholarly references

Week 1 Midweek Assignment
Instructions
Week 1 Midweek Assignment
In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe a draft plan for your capstone project using the format below. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.
Introduction
The introduction establishes the scope, context, and significance of the project being conducted by summarizing current understanding and background information (literature) about the topic, stating the purpose of the work, explaining briefly the approach used to examine the problem, and identifies one or two outcomes of the project.
Problem Statement
A problem statement is the description of a currently existing issue, which needs to be addressed with evidence-based interventions. The statement of the problem is the focal point of the project. Be sure to back up the noted issue/problem with evidence. Must include citations of evidence.
Questions
Identify one to two questions to address with your capstone project. Based on the constraint of project length of 10 weeks you may not have time to address a multitude of questions.
Methodology
The methodology section of the paper addresses:
when and how you will collect the pre-intervention data,
what the intervention(s) is (are),
when/how the intervention(s) will be implemented,
how and when you will perform your post-intervention data measurement,
how the data will be analyzed.
A friendly reminder that unless your project has gone through the IRB process you will not be allowed to collect data on more than 3 people. For data collection, you will choose 3 people from your aggregate.
Timetable
Develop a timetable considering the following questions:
When will your project start and finish?
Are there particular steps or stages to the project?
What objectives have you set for this investigation? Are they addressed in the timeline?
Is the timetable realistic?
How will you provide regular updates and progress reports and to whom will you provide them? How will you demonstrate progress?
