NRS; 493 -0503 Professional Capstone
Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

| This Virtual Practicum Schedule allows preceptors and students to adapt student practicum activities, minimizing disruption to student progress during crisis situations that limit in-person contact. Practicum activities can be adapted for completion in a virtual/remote environment. Activities should be completed remotely by the student, through a combination of asynchronous and synchronous time. Video or phone conferences totaling at least 1 hour per week (synchronous time) between student and preceptor should be scheduled to establish objectives for the week, monitor progress, and summarize activities each week. | ||||||

| Please double click for information about this form and its use. This Virtual Practicum Schedule allows preceptors and students to adapt student practicum activities, minimizing disruption to student progress during crisis situations that limit in-person contact. Practicum activities can be adapted for completion in a virtual/remote environment. Students working directly with communities and/or patients will need to work with their preceptor and MPH Lead Faculty or MSN-PHN co-Lead Faculty to adjust deliverables. Activities should be completed remotely by the student, through a combination of asynchronous and synchronous time. Video or phone conferences totaling at least 3 hours per week (synchronous time) between student and preceptor should be scheduled to establish objectives for the week, monitor progress, and summarize activities each week. Students should have at least one deliverable to complete at least 7 hours of work (asynchronous time), shared and disseminated between preceptor and student using virtual/digital means (Ex: sharing draft documents via email or Google Docs, hosting/attending/facilitating webinar meetings or trainings, completing research online for project, etc.). | ||||||
