Purpose:

The purpose of this library assignment is to help nursing students to develop their research skills and to become familiar with different credible data sources available through the Library page at the FNU.edu website. In addition, this assignment will help students to apply the PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time) question format to develop a research question and to locate and evaluate scholarly sources.

Instructions:

1. Topic Selection: Select a nursing theorist of choice and research him/her. Include a summary of your research and how it correlates to the subject you are studying. Identify their key contribution to nursing and explain its importance in healthcare. Your topic should be broad enough to allow for an in-depth exploration but narrow enough to be manageable within the scope of an 250-500-word (1 page) research paper.
2. Searching for Literature: Use the Library page at the FNU.edu website to search for scholarly sources related to your topic. You must utilize at least 3 scholarly sources that have been published within the last 5 years. You may use databases such as CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Clinical Key, The Cochrane Library. Be sure to use appropriate keywords and to apply search filters to limit your search to scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
3. Evaluating Sources: Once you have identified potential sources, use the CRAAP test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose) to evaluate their credibility and relevance to your research question. Be sure to select sources that are relevant to your topic, written by credible authors, and based on rigorous research methods.
4. Writing the Paper: Your research paper should follow APA 7 guidelines and include the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Be sure to use in-text citations and to include a reference list at the end of your paper.

Create a 15-20 page curriculum evaluation that incorporates the curriculum analysis and course design you created for Assessments 1 and 2.

Introduction:

Nurse educators are responsible for many areas of evaluation, including students, curriculum, and program evaluation. Additionally, they have a responsibility to the internal and external stakeholders when it comes to the evaluation process. There are two types of evaluation: summative and formative evaluation. Formative evaluation takes place during the learning process (Billings & Halstead, 2019). Summative evaluation refers to the outcomes of the learning when the learning environment has ended (Billings & Halstead, 2019.)

Preparation:

You will use the work you completed for Assessments 1 and 2 as parts of this assessment. Combine Assessments 1 and 2, and add a section about curriculum evaluation. The evaluation you create should flow smoothly as one cohesive document. When combining the previous assessments, make revisions based on feedback you received from faculty.

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

• Who should perform curriculum evaluation: individual faculty, a curriculum committee, or full faculty?
• When should curriculum evaluation be done: each semester, each academic year, at the end of a program cohort, or prior to accreditation visits?
• How can a curriculum be revised to ensure that program outcomes are met without compromising the whole curriculum?
• How can a curriculum be revised to reflect changes in society, nursing, health care delivery, health care needs, educational practice, learner diversity, and emerging technology when curriculum revision entails a lengthy process involving state regulations and accreditation standards?

Requirements:

• Consider curriculum evaluation and address the following:
  • Explain the importance of ongoing curriculum evaluation, why it is important, and for whom it is important.
  • List criteria that are important to consider in curriculum evaluation.
  • Explain how and why pilot testing can be used in curriculum evaluation.
  • Provide examples of both short-term and long-term curriculum evaluations for process improvement and explain why both types are necessary to curriculum development.
  • Describe how to apply evidence-based nursing concepts, theories, and best practices to improve curriculum development.
  • Identify the appropriate accreditation body for a selected curriculum and describe appropriate accreditation evaluation criteria.
  • • For example, a school of nursing might be accredited by CCNE or ACEN, whereas a hospital staff development program might be accredited by JCAHO, HFAP, or other
    • Written communication: Written communication is free from errors that detract from the overall message.
    • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
    • Number of resources: Cite a minimum of five resources that are not included in the resource activities for this assessment.
    • Length of evaluation: 15-20 typed double-spaced pages, excluding the title page and the reference page.
    • Appendix: Included appropriate material from Assessments 1 and 2. The appendix will not be included in the page count.
    • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

    I attached assessments 1 and 2 that you completed for me.

informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of natures sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.Of course, humans dont fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologiesmight have on professional interactions.
