As a future advanced practice nurse, it is important that you are able to connect your classroom experience to your practicum experience. By applying the concepts you study in the classroom to clinical settings, you enhance your professional competency. Each week, you complete an Assignment that prompts you to reflect on your practicum experiences and relate them to the material presented in the classroom. This week, you begin documenting your practicum experiences in your Practicum Journal.

Note: Be sure to use the Practicum Journal Template, located in this week’s Learning Resources.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze nursing and counseling theories to guide practice in psychotherapy*
• Summarize goals and objectives for personal practicum experiences*
• Produce timelines for practicum activities*                                                                          *The Assignment related to this Learning Objective is introduced this week and submitted in Week 3.

• Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
• Develop at least three goals and at least three objectives for the practicum experience in this course.
• Create a timeline of practicum activities based on your practicum requirements.

In collaboration with the approved course preceptor, students will identify a specific evidence-based topic for the capstone project change proposal. Students should consider the clinical environment in which they are currently employed or have recently worked. The capstone project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a leadership or quality improvement initiative, or an unmet educational need specific to a patient population or community. The student may also choose to work with an interprofessional collaborative team.

Students should select a topic that aligns to their area of interest as well as the clinical practice setting in which practice hours are completed.

Write a 500-750 word description of your proposed capstone project topic. Include the following:

1. The problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project that will be the focus of the change proposal.
2. The setting or context in which the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project can be observed.
3. A description (providing a high level of detail) regarding the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project.
4. Effect of the problem or issue, intervention, quality initiative, educational need, or collaborative interprofessional team project.
5. Significance of the topic and its implications for nursing practice.
6. A proposed solution to the identified project topic with an explanation of how it will affect nursing practice.

Case study #1 

Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

• Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
• Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
• Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2

Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

• Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
• How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
• How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
• Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory.

 Explain the role of Florence Nightingale nursing theory has/had in the evolution of healthcare ?

Many people are not comfortable with public speaking. It can be very nerve-wracking to do so in classrooms or in more professional settings; especially when we are passionate about what we are talking about. When I was in high school, we had a class that my english teacher did called “Public Speaking”. A lot of students enrolled in the class. They said it was hard, considering they had to write their own papers and presentations and then present them, but from what they said was that it benefited them greatly. A lot of them felt more comfortable and confident in their abilities to speak in front of crowds or even a classroom. Although we are at the age where we do not really have that option available to us, it would be great to stress to the younger generation to help them in their future.

The following post is from another student. reply by adding some extra information related to the post. 

short answer

One of the most common misconceptions about elderly hold by society is their sexuality. A relatively large group of population think that shaving an active sexual life is inappropriate for older adults.  According to British Medical Journal survey, adults over 70 years are not only able to practice sexual intercourse more often that other generation but also to fully enjoy of their sexuality. (Beckman, Waern, Gustafson, & Skoog, 2008). 

Misconceptions can really affect the older population. Aging process leads to some insecurities such as feeling less attractive or the fair to fail in bed. Once the elderly become old, they see their selves as being unattractive. Therefore, depression is very common during this stage of life. Older adults start to feel not useful and very limited since the physical limitations normal in the aging process don’t allow them to do the things they used to.  

Some of the symptoms of depression that are tiredness, insomnia, and mood changes. It is important to identify them to prevent it so it can be treated correctly and avoid further complications. In addition, other medical conditions can also develop depression symptoms such as heart disease, or stroke. It also important to pay attention to the side effects of medications and polysubstance abuse, they can also develop depression  (“NIMH » Depression: What You Need To Know”, 2015).

Critical thinking activities

1. Your community is at risk for a specific type of natural disaster (e.g., tornado, flood, hurricane, earthquake). Use Nightingale’s principles and observations to develop an emergency plan for one of these events. Outline the items you would include in the plan.

2. Using Nightingale’s concepts of ventilation, light, noise, and cleanliness, analyze the setting in which you are practicing nursing as an employee or student.

3. You are participating in a quality improvement project in your work setting. Share how you would develop ideas to present to the group based on a Nightingale approach
