.1. NURS 4636L Practicum COMMUNITY SURVEY PROJECT (Note: This should be started during your first week of course). This scholarly capstone paper due date is June 14, 2016. It should reflect quality work and not simply a collection of forms such as a completed Public Health Nursing Assessment Tool (PHNAT tool) or your Section I & II of the PHNAT. See Grade Rubric for further information to guide the areas to cover in your paper. Use the PHNAT tool found in Trujillo-Londrigan & Lewenson, page 67, Chapter 3 Appendix. DO NOT MERELY COMPLETE THE PHNAT and submit. This is a scholarly assessment of the community and development of a program or initiative to meet a specific identified gap or need.
Use your local community. Prepare a community assessment document. This is a scholarly paper using information based on The PHNAT. Use the PHNAT tool, Parts I, II, III, IV and V found in resources and your text to guide your assessment and the resulting paper. The paper should reflect operationalization of elements of professional nursing practice at the BSN level. Use the sections of the PHNAT tool to construct your paper. You may include selected data in tables but summarize the data you have collected in paper format. You can use the sections to organize your paper.
Discuss your findings from the assessment and how it influenced your selection of priorities. (Part I and II.) You may include selected data tables but you need to discuss the data findings. This should be condensed from the Section 1&2 paper information. (DUE 2/3/16.)
Select the number one (1) priority from Part III., PHNAT tool findings. Discuss the required elements including why you selected your priority for action. Remember that the priority must be realistic, achievable within specified time of plan, and within the scope of professional PHN/community health nursing practice.
Develop Part IV which Includes
A plan, implementation and evaluation of the intervention using the Minnesota Public Health Intervention Strategies. This can be an existing program that needs improvement or strengthening or a new one not previously discussed or operationalized. It MUST be within the scope of PHN/ community health professional nursing practice.
Your initiative/ program should reflect levels of prevention and level of intervention (individual through systems as appropriate).
Evaluation of the program/ initiative must be addressed with specific measurable items with time framework.
The initiative/ program must explicitly address how the community / public health nurse will play a clearly developed role.
The reflective section (Part V.) should be a discussion of your learning during the assessment and planning process. Be sure to relate it to your current practice and how you have changed as a professional nurse as a result of this project.
This capstone paper must be supported by references with APA formatting, style and clarity followed. See APA guidelines for scholarly paper format. All data should be cited and referenced and supported by high quality sources. Structure the report in same content areas as found on in the PHNAT tool, e.g. Sections I, II, III, IV and V.
