Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay. Question DescriptionNursing Education
Practicum DocumentationUsing the “Nursing Education Practicum Documentation (NEPD)
Form,” write goals of what you will accomplish in this topic and how you will evaluate your
accomplishment.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.ORDER A PLAGIARISM-
FREE PAPER HEREBe sure to read the instructions (in blue font at the top of the columns on
the first page) on how to use the form before you begin. The NEPD form uses the nursing
process and follows the format of a nursing care plan, so this should be familiar to
you.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.Refer to materials from previous
courses in the nursing education track to be sure that your goals are written
appropriately.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.The written goals, resources,
and criteria for evaluation columns (first three columns) must be written prior to the
clinical experience for the topic.Complete the fourth column (evaluation) at the end of each
topic’s clinical experience as you evaluate how you met the goals you wrote.APA format is
not required, but solid academic writing is expected.(My practicum site will be in a hospital
setting as a clinical educator, so pleas help me to complete this
assignment)Thanks.nur_665e_rs_nepd_student.docxYou must proofread your paper. But do
not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Nursing Education
Practicum Discussion Essay.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch)
typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are
hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than
to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASSDiscussion Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ
should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly
source, and be at least 250 words.Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something
new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at
least one scholarly source.One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement
or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive
responses should be at least 150 words.I encourage you to incorporate the readings from
the week (as applicable) into your responses.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion
Essay.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward
participation and are graded separately.In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at
least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three
replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite
someone else’s work).Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly
announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are
made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.APA Format and
Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is
used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student
Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation
examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA
format (if required).Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.Cite all sources of
information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.I highly
recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.Use of Direct QuotesI discourage
overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct
points accordingly.As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically
analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply
restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or
critical analysis of the content.It is best to paraphrase content and cite your
source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please
be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do
a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will
show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the
extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.Review your
similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your
paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?Visit the Writing Center in
the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving
your paper and SI score.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.Late PolicyThe
university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to
late DQ replies.Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an
assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out
an extension based on extenuating circumstances.If you do not communicate with me
before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.I do not accept
assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.As
per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment
submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.Nursing
Education Practicum Discussion Essay.CommunicationCommunication is so very important.
There are multiple ways to communicate with me:Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a
great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a
good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.Individual
Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be
checked at least once every 24 hours.Nursing Education Practicum Discussion Essay.
