Good morning everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that this week you will be submitting your TOPIC and outline for your Decision Making Paper. Please remember you must have prior approval on your topic of interest BEFORE beginning the actual paper.
When choosing a topic, try to think a bit out of the box and consider topics that involve all levels of nursing practice and decision-making. It does not mean the topic needs to directly impact nurses themselves; what I mean is it could be a population of patients that all levels of nursing practice encounter that involves decision-making or other topics that are of interest to nursing practice including political topics in which decision making focused on policy could be applied.
I will not be able to grade submitted assignments that do not have prior approval so do not spend time working on a paper that has not been approved. Please take a close look at the assignment as well as the grading rubric to get an idea of what would work as a topic. Please submit at least two topics you are interested in (preferably at least 2) and my response needs to state APPROVED. This assignment is worth 40% of your final grade.
Looking forward to reading all of your outlines and topic selections.
Any questions or concerns please reach out to me.
