Graduate Nursing Capstone

Catalog description

This is the culminating scholarly experience in the master’s program. Through this experience, graduate nursing students demonstrate mastery of a particular subject area in their specialty track by developing a scholarly project, including an evidence-based review of that topic. The scholarly project is based on the current information used by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Position Statement on Defining Scholarship for the the Discipline of Nursing, which includes significance to the profession, creativity, documentation, replication, and peer review. The course allows students to develop a scholarly project in close advisement with a faculty mentor(s) and to present that scholarship through a formal presentation, submitted paper, and/or a manuscript for publication or professional presentation. Prerequisite(s): NU 710 .
