You have probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with a quote designed to inspire.
Often, decisions are not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can help you make an informed choice
To Prepare:
Reflect on your decision to pursue a specialty within the MSN program, including your professional and academic goals related to your program/specialization.
Post an explanation of your choice of a nursing specialty within the program. Describe any difficulties you had (or are having) in making your choice, and the factors that drove/are driving your decision. Identify at least one professional organization affiliated with your chosen specialty and provide details on becoming a member.
my specialty: psychiatric mental health within the nursing program. 
difficulties: time management as a full time mom and employee
any factors that drive: my motivation that drives me is a desire to change the way we approach mental health
one professional organization and how I can become a member: American Psychiatric Nursing Association – I can become a member by registering online.

Scenario: The nursing manager at your clinic has asked you to review the quarterly dashboard and look for areas where improvement is needed. She would like you to present your findings during the next staff meeting. You have decided to prepare a PowerPoint presentation.
Part I: Analysis of the Dashboard
Review the sample quarterly dashboard, which contains a variety of clinical and administrative indicators. Look for areas where there is good performance and areas where performance could be improved. Select one of the performance areas that needs improvement as the focus of your presentation
Part II: Performance-Improvement Plan
Based on your analysis of the dashboard, develop a performance-improvement plan based on evidence-based practice. Use a minimum of three references from the professional literature. Remember that you will be presenting your findings during a staff meeting, so keep your presentation between 11 and 15 slides. Include the following slides in your presentation:
1. Title slide (1 slide)
2. Explain the quality indicators used in the dashboard (1–2 slides)
3. Analysis of the data (4–5 slides)
a. Analyze the purpose of the dashboard.
b. Explain what is needed to create a dashboard.
c. Analyze the dashboard and describe areas that need improvement and areas where performance is good.
d. Describe the findings from the dashboard.
e. Explain why these areas were selected for indicating performance improvement.
4. Performance improvement plan (3–5 slides)
a. Outline a performance improvement plan on the selected indicator. Be sure to include a minimum of three evidence-based practices that could be implemented to improve performance.
b. Explain how each suggestion could address the selected performance indicator.
c. Support each selected practice suggestion with references from the professional literature.
5. Summary (1 slide)
6. References (1 slide)

Applying Principles of Leadership is an individual project that requires the student to apply concepts learned from one’s preceptorship.
With that, the student will identify one aspect of the clinical experience in which the student feels the clinical site could improve upon while using the following as a guide: 
•  The clinical question being investigated is formulated in an objective, concise manner.
•  Using professional resources, the latest, most relevant research evidence that pertains to the clinical question is located. Be sure that your Internet source is credible.
•  Identify specific practice recommendations derived from the summary of research articles.
•  Using critical-thinking skills, gather evidence to support why a specific “best practice” would benefit the clinical site, the patient’s experience, and/or outcome. 
You will write a 2-3 page paper in APA format on your instructor-approved evidence-based practice topic. You will include the following: title page, an introduction, a statement of the topic, the background of the topic, a conclusion, and reference page. 
Your APA Manual (7th edition) will have guidelines for formatting references and writing a reference list. Please use the LIRN/Library for references. 
Prior to embarking on this project, the student is to identify the select clinical problem and discuss this problem with the Clinical IV Instructor for approval and guidance. 
Topic examples include:
Investigating and implementing strategies to prevent pressure ulcers in bedridden or immobile patients.
Evaluating the most effective and safe methods for managing pain in various clinical settings, such as postoperative pain, chronic pain, or pediatric pain.
Studying best practices for medication administration, including dosage calculation, drug interactions, and routes of administration.
Identifying evidence-based strategies to reduce the risk of falls among elderly patients, including the use of fall risk assessment tools and interventions.
Assessing the most effective methods for hand hygiene compliance and their impact on healthcare-associated infections.
Examining evidence-based guidelines for preventing and managing healthcare-associated infections, such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections or central line-associated bloodstream infections.
Investigating the relationship between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes, including patient safety and satisfaction.

PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach 
Apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research it for the diagnosis 
of Pneumonia.  
Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source’s specific findings and best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question.
In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria: 
Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Create a PICO(T)-formatted  research question    
Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.).
Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence as it relates to the identified    health care issue (pneumonia)
Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision     related to a PICO(T) question.

Describe three barriers that have slowed down the progress of advanced practice nursing and strategies to help overcome these barriers. (Saunders, 2014)

Prepare an 8–10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators.
I MUST BE ABLE TO CONVERT INTO AN AUDIO TRAINING TUTORIAL PLEASE WRITE IN A TEACHING STYLE SO I COULD READ IN TUTORIAL FORMAT.
The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.
