NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I
NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I
Students must formulate an evidence-based and financially feasible strategic plan for their change proposal. Development of a written plan requires an assessment of the organization’s culture, stakeholders, potential challenges, barriers, and obstacles to the implementation of the change proposal. In this topic, students will develop their understanding of cultural aspects related to the organizational environment. NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I

Tasks – NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I
Practice Experience Conference (Mid-Conference)
Students are required to initiate a mid-conference that will occur during Topic 5, using the “Practice Experience Conference Form (Mid-Conference)” resource. This conference is intended for the student, preceptor, and faculty to discuss progress toward meeting the learning goals and course objectives contained in the Individual Success Plan (ISP). Progress toward completing the written capstone project will also be discussed, including faculty recommendations for project development. Student progress will be documented on the Clinical Evaluation Tool (CET), which is submitted in LoudCloud prior to the conference. The CET will be discussed during the mid-conference and graded in LoudCloud by the faculty after the mid-conference. If the student receives an “Unacceptable” or “Below Expectations” in any category, the student will remediate for that category of the CET.
Midterm Evaluation of Student
The preceptor will perform a midterm evaluation with the faculty. The preceptor will input the evaluation content into the Lopes Activity Tracker. The student will upload the evaluation into LoudCloud after meeting with the preceptor to discuss the midterm evaluation.
Students must meet all clinical expectations of the course, earn a passing grade on all benchmark assignments, and successfully complete remediation (if necessary) in order to receive a passing grade in the NRS-493 course.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I
Clinical Practice Experience Remediation
Students who are not making appropriate progress on their capstone project and receive an “Unacceptable” or “Below Expectations” on the CET will be required to complete remediation activities. Required remediation activities are listed on the “NRS-493: Clinical Experience Remediation” document. The required activities must be submitted in LoudCloud upon their completion by the end of Topic 7. All required remediation activities will be reviewed and approved by the faculty.
Professional Capstone and Practicum Reflective Journal
Students are required to submit weekly reflective narratives throughout the course that will culminate in a final, course-long reflective journal due in Topic 10. The narratives help students integrate leadership and inquiry into current practice.
This reflection journal also allows students to outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses, and additional resources that could be introduced in a given situation to influence optimal outcomes. Each week students should also explain how they met a course competency or course objective(s).
In each week’s entry, students should reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout the course. Journal entries should address one or more of the areas stated below. In the Topic 10 graded submission, each of the areas below should be addressed as part of the summary submission.
- New practice approaches
- Interprofessional collaboration
- Health care delivery and clinical systems
- Ethical considerations in health care
- Practices of culturally sensitive care
- Ensuring the integrity of human dignity in the care of all patients
- Population health concerns
- The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
- Health policy
- Leadership and economic models
- Health disparities

NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I Topic 5 DQ 1
Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful project implementation. Consider your internal stakeholders, such as the facility, unit, or health care setting where the change proposal is being considered, and your external stakeholders, like an individual or group outside the health care setting. Why is their support necessary to the success of your change proposal, and how you will go about securing that support?
NRS-493 Topic 5 Capstone Project Change Proposal Implementation Plan I Topic 5 DQ 2
Technology is integral to successful implementation in many projects, through either support or integration or both. Name at least one technology that could improve the implementation process and the outcomes of your capstone project change proposal. Do you plan to use this technology? If not, what are the barriers that prevent its use?
