Question: The topic for this proposal will be nursing staff shortages. The reason I'm choosing this topic is because as a practicing nurse, I encounter nursing staff shortages every shift and it can have a negative impact on a nurse's ability to provide care/service consistent with standards and guidelines and agency or organization policies or procedures.
Within the paper, please address the following:
What is your topic? How does it relate to a nursing problem or issue in clinical practice?
What is your interest in this topic? Why did you choose it? (First person is acceptable for this area of Milestone 1)
What is the background and significance of the topic? What do you hope to find within the research? (i.e. Why is it a problem in the profession? HINT: This is an excellent place to incorporate scholarly literature to substantiate the significance of the issue).
What is the relationship between research & EBP? How will your review of the research help contribute to an evidence-based solution? i.e. Is there an opportunity to advocate for a new law? Organizational policy? Could new staff education be enacted?
Other general reminders...
Overview
In Milestone One, you will submit a topic proposal for instructor approval which identifies your chosen professional practice issue. A professional practice issue is any issue or situation that either compromises client care/service by placing a client at risk or affects a nurse's ability to provide care/service consistent with standards and guidelines and agency or organization policies or procedures. By the end of this course, your topic also has the potential to be explored further as part of your capstone project. As the first piece of your final project, the topic proposal will enable you to explain the background and significance of the issue, develop your PICO question in Milestone Two and begin the introduction of your final project. A good topic proposal is engaging, identifies a specific and original topic, explains the background and significance, and establishes a purpose.Prompt
