Purpose: The student will identify a phenomenon of interest (POI) of relevance to the student’s advanced nursing practice specialty. The student will develop a scholarly paper that discusses the significance of the POI to the advanced nursing specialty, the impact of Analytic and Continental philosophy on how the student views and evaluates the POI, and the Ways of Knowing as it relates to the POI. The knowledge and skills gained in this assignment will be important beyond the context of this course and will apply in future advanced nursing specialty roles.
Skills: The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to practice the following skills that are essential to your success in this course as well as your academic and professional practice.
- Understanding and explaining the meaning of abstract disciplinary information.
- Applying learned knowledge to a phenomenon of interest.
- Critically examining individual elements or deconstructing issues related to a phenomenon of interest.Knowledge: This assignment will also help you to become familiar with the following important content knowledge:
- Impact of scientific philosophies on the identified phenomenon of interest within an advanced nursing practice specialty.
- Differences in Analytic and Continental philosophy.
- Understand how the Ways of Knowing in nursing applies to the identified phenomenon of interest.
- Apply graduate level scholarshipTasks:
- Identify a phenomenon of interest topic and submit to faculty for approval.
- Review required and recommended resources.
- Conduct a literature search and review of the literature to support ideas and concepts.
- Develop a scholarly paper that adheres to the requirements outlined in the rubric.
- Demonstrate graduate level scholarship as outlined in the rubric.Criteria for Success:
- The student will use the rubric as a guide to understanding expectations and performance levels for this scholarly paper
- The student will adhere to the highest level of requirements in the rubric to meet or exceed expectations.
- The student will contribute original work, as demonstrated by the Turnitin Originality/Similarity Report.
- The student will access support services from the Biomedical Library and USA Writing Center as needed todevelop graduate-level scholarship skills.
- The student will submit the paper by the assignment due date.
