NRS 493 Topic 5 GCU Practice Experience
NRS 493 Topic 5 Conference on Practice (Mid-Conference)
During Topic 5, students must initiate a mid-conference using the “Practice Experience Conference Form (Mid-Conference)” resource. This conference is for the student, preceptor, and faculty to discuss progress toward learning goals and course objectives (ISP). The written capstone project will also be discussed, as will faculty suggestions for project creation. The Clinical Assessment Tool (CET) will be submitted on LoudCloud prior to the conference. The professors will grade the CET in LoudCloud after the mid-conference. If a student obtains a “Unacceptable” or “Below Expectations” in any category, they must remediate.

493 Topic 4 Literature Review GCU
Accurate research identification and application is critical in nursing practice. The ability to explain research material and summarize pertinent topics helps students construct and synthesize assignments for the capstone project.

Provide a summary of the literature review for this task. Determine the amount and quality of evidence for each of the eight research papers using the “Literature Assessment Table.” The publications should be recent (within the last 5 years) and directly related to the PICOT issue. Articles may be quantitative, descriptive, longitudinal, or meta-analytic. A systematic review might provide background information regarding the planned capstone project’s objective or challenge.
A solid academic writing style is anticipated, and in-text citations and references should follow APA documentation rules, which can be found in the Student Success Center’s APA Style Guide.
