NUR 218: Transition to Professional Nursing Practice

Discussion board

NUR 218 students are expected to engage with discussion board questions, answering the required questions or prompts with an initial post, and then two follow-up posts to their peers.

The initial post should be supported by readings from the text book, articles, or web sites, making use of APA style citations for all sources used.

Trends Paper

In this project, NUR 218 students are expected to examine professional literature and identify a trend that is reshaping modern nursing conventions and practices. 

First, the student must identify the trend and explain why it was selected, introducing the resources using correct APA in-text citations. Next they must summarize a featured nursing journal article. This journal must have been published within the past two years. This is followed by a summary of a news media article, which can best found through the Discovery Search below.
