Discussion Question:Please read tis articleDownload this articlefor this discussion board.

After completing the QSEN modules and the AACN Essentials, discuss the importance of Evidence-based practice, Professionalism, and Scholarship for the Nursing Discipline.

  • How will you, as an advanced practice nurse incorporate EBP, scholarship, and professionalism into your practice?
  • How do these competencies work together?
  • How do social determinants of health and health quality support the future of nursing? In what ways does the APN demonstrate this?
  • Be sure to include specific sub-competencies in your post.

Give a brief summary of the article, then critically analyze the content. Refer to the learning activities overview in the student resources.

Purpose:

The purpose of the threaded discussion is to promote dialogue among students and faculty during the course.

Requirements:

  • The student must provide the initial substantive response to the discussion question/topic(s) posted by the course faculty by Friday of those weeks with a discussion board assignment.
  • The student must also provide a minimum of two additional responses to two student colleagues on two different days by Tuesday of those weeks with a discussion board assignment.
  • All questions posed to the initial student post by course faculty need to be answered by the student to earn full credit for the discussion board assignment.

This should be substantive feedback to a student colleague’s response to the question/topic posted by the course faculty. All responses must be respectful and thoughtful.

Discussion boards are not opinion boards. Students are expected to have scholarly sources to support their claims and constructs presented in the original post and citations must be provided. While scholarly resources are not required for your response posts, they do strengthen your posts and you must cite information taken from a source. Citations for parts of posts that are synthesized from the course text, peer-reviewed research articles, and other credible sources are required. Course faculty monitor for the compliance of citations with Turnitin evaluation of the posts intermittently during the course session.

Note: This discussion requires you to complete your initial post before you can see your classmates’ posts. If you are having trouble getting started, please contact your instructo.
