Journal Entries Due Week 7 (References immediately follow the content)
From Week 6:
Journal Assignment—Part 1
After reviewing the Practicum Weekly Resource, record responses to the following in your Journal:
- What strategies will you use as a nurse informaticist to maintain a balance between the wants and needs of the IT department, the administration, and the end user?
- How can you ensure that the needs of the end user are being adequately addressed?
- How can you use effective networking as a means of influencing a project?
Journal Assignment—Part 2
Note: Each week, you are responsible for locating a scholarly journal article in the Walden Library related to your area(s) of interest. Include in your Journal the reference in proper APA format, and provide a brief summary of the article. The article from each week will serve as the genesis of the bibliography in your final Practicum course (NURS 6600), so time spent locating pertinent articles now will be beneficial.
After completing this Journal Assignment, submit your entire Journal so far in a single document on or before Day 7 of this week.
Journal Assignment—Part 3
Practicum Onsite Visits
Summarize the key activities of your visits to your Practicum site (as appropriate), including with whom you met, what you did, and what you gained from the experience.
Note: Be sure to maintain an accurate log of the time you spend on any specific aspect of the Practicum. |
