Purpose
In preparation for completing the RUA- Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper the student will track and analyze their individual performance on the integrated comprehensive assessments. The student will apply critical thinking skills to prioritize their identified areas of opportunity. After identifying the priority concept (topic) of opportunity, the student will identify strategies and resources that will promote NCLEX-RN success and transition into practice. The student will track and analyze their individual performance on the integrated comprehensive assessments in order to get ready to finish the RUA-Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper. The student will use their abilities in critical thinking to prioritize the opportunities that they have found for themselves. The student will first pick the priority opportunity concept (subject), and then determine the techniques and resources that will encourage success on the NCLEX-RN exam and the student’s transition into practice.
Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO # 4 Integrate critical thinking, clinical reasoning skills, best current evidence, clinical expertise, and patient/family preferences/values in the implementation of the nursing process. (PO# 4)
CO # 5: Explore the impact of professional standards, legislative issues, ethical principles, and values on professional nursing, using data to monitor outcomes and improve quality and safety. (PO# 5, 6)
Due date: Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.
Total points possible: 20 points
Preparing the assignment
Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with the course faculty member about any assignment questions.
1) Track performance on the comprehensive assessments by logging NCLEX-RN Client Need Category performance on the Individual Student ATI Assessment Trends: Longitudinal Performance tool (see table on page 2).
2) Based on individual performance on the comprehensive assessments, analyze the performance and prioritize the top concept (topic) of greatest opportunity.
3) Include the following criteria for the priority concept (topic): (The NCSBN NCLEX-RN Test Plan will support this process)
a. Priority Concept (Topic)
• Identify the priority concept (topic) of opportunity based on the performance analysis.
• Provide a description of how the identified priority concept (topic) aligns with the NCLEX Client Need Category/Subcategory definition in the NCLEX-RN Test Plan.
• Identify a minimum of two learning strategies that will support development of the identified learning need.
A learning strategy is a technique an individual can use to organize, retain, and apply knowledge and skills to accomplish outcomes more effectively and efficiently in their academic and professional journey.
• Identify a minimum of two resources to integrate into the NCLEX-RN Readiness plan that will support development of the identified learning need.
4) APA Style and Organization
a. Uses current APA format and is free of errors.
b. Submit at least three (3) scholarly, peer reviewed, primary sources from the last 5 years, excluding the textbook, that will be used in the week 6 RUA: Capstone Evidence-Based Practice Paper.
c. For writing Helpance (APA, formatting, or grammar) visit the APA Citation and Writing page in the online Chamberlain library.
