Nursing Student Preceptorship Program

Nursing Student Preceptorship Program

Create a change project for a new nurse preceptorship program based QSEN
teamwork/collaboration. The problem identified is staff nurses reluctance to precept nursing
students.
The change project must demonstrate the student’s ability to synthesize and apply the knowledge
and skills acquired in this academic program to real-world nursing issues and problems. This final
project will affirm one’s ability to think critically and creatively, to solve practical problems related to
nursing practice or the facilitation of patient-centered care, to make reasoned and ethical decisions,
to propose change and to demonstrate both oral and written communication effectively with peers,
nursing staff and members of the health care team.
Objectives:
Integrate Lewin’ s Change Theory in human systems when identifying the practice problem or issue
Propose an innovative solution or change to a system-related patient care problem identified on the
unit where the student is practicing.
Analyze the outcomes of nursing interventions using research-based evidence and data.
Formulate evidence-based conclusions and recommendations related to the problem identified.
Directions
Identify a practice/problem/policy on your assigned unit. Be specific as to how this affects the unit
you are working on.
Find evidence to support this practice/policy change. You may use research articles, meta-analysis

and integrative reviews from peer-reviewed journals.
Summarize the evidence from at least five professional sources. These sources should be organize
in a summary table.
You must create an appendix in your paper that includes: any surveys, the summary table of
sources, and any additional resources such as visual aids or tools created for this project.
Evaluate the evidence. Is the evidence strong enough to change practice/policy or support a curren
practice/policy?
Does the evidence support the practice/policy?
Make recommendations based on the evidence. How could you apply your recommendations on
your unit?
