NURS 690A Culminating Experience I

The culminating experience is the final academic experience in the master’s program. It is a two-term course, and in this first term of the course, students will begin work on their final project which provides students an opportunity to illustrate how they have synthesized and integrated knowledge acquired throughout their coursework in the analysis and resolution of a significant nursing problem, and to illustrate how students have applied the theories and principles of their previous courses to the assessment of a healthcare related problem and the development of a proposed evidence-based approach to address that problem.  Examples might include:  (1) integration of research findings into practice with evaluation of client system outcomes; (2) evaluation of current nursing practice through examination of relevant client system clinical outcomes; or (3) description of new knowledge with potential for enhancing nursing practice.
