NURS 6600 Practicum Experience Journal

You must submit a journal entry in each assigned week, even if you are not on-site that week. If you are not on-site for a week in which a journal entry is due, reflect on experiences from any of the previous weeks of this course. Journal entries are due in Weeks 3, 7, and 11. Place the references for each week’s entry immediately after that week’s content. Remember to use APA style when writing your journal entries and listing references.

Begin each journal entry on a new page. The template has a “new page” command inserted before each weekly label. Be sure to delete any blank pages that appear between the weekly entries. Note: This document will serve as a cumulative journal. For each submission, you will add to the document so it contains all of your journal entries.

Journal Entries

Describe a problem, issue, or situation that you have observed during your Practicum Experience (no more than a half page) (10 points)
Using no fewer than three peer-reviewed sources, analyze what you have observed within the context of your specialty using appropriate concepts, principles, and theories, giving special attention to observed events that vary from scholarly literature. (30 points)

Explain how the problem, situation, or issue was handled in a manner that is consistent and a manner that is inconsistent with the theory, concepts, and principles detailed in the evidence. (30 points)

Given the various evidence-based approaches that can be used in handling the problem, situation, or issue, formulate a plan for approaching the matter differently. (30 points)

Include references immediately following the content.
Use APA style for your journal entry and references.

Note that Faculty may deduct up to 20 points for writing style issues/errors and/or citation- or reference-related APA errors.
