Area of Interest Power Point Presentation Area of Interest Power Point Presentation   · Points 175   · Submitting a file upload Purpose  The process for affecting positive change to improve practice outcomes can start with either the identification of an area of interest or the identification of a potential or existing practice problem. Selecting an area of interest helps to define a direction for further inquiry. The purpose of this assessment is for students to identify and discuss an area of interest specific to advanced practice nursing. Students will identify a common practice problem related to the selected area of interest and provide a recommendation to affect positive change. Students will build on this project in later courses.  Note: The purpose of the MSN project is to translate evidence currently found in the literature into practice within the chosen specialty track. Due to the research complexity, time involvement, and implications regarding human subjects, drug studies are not acceptable areas of interest for an MSN project.  Activity Learning Outcomes  Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:  1. Examine roles and competencies of advanced practice nurses essential to performing as leaders and advocates of holistic, safe, and quality care. (CO1)   2. Analyze essential skills needed to lead within the context of complex systems. (CO3)  3. Explore the process of scholarship engagement to improve health and healthcare outcomes in various settings. (CO4)  Due Date:   Assignment should be submitted to the Week 6 Area of Interest Powerpoint Presentation dropbox by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MST at the end of Week 6. The week 6 assignment will not go through Turnitin.  This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus.  Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.  In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student's appeal.
