Week 15 Section VI: Middle Range Theories

Reflection #4 Remember reflections do not require responses, only discussion posts require responses.

Select a Nursing Theory that closely aligns with your current practice. Reflect why you chose your theory and how it applies to your nursing practice or personal nursing philosophy.

 

 

This week we are going to expand our horizons even further. We have our final reflection assignment. I would like for everyone to incorporate their knowledge from this course & reflect on a theory or concept that you could develop in advance nursing.

 

Discussions and Reading Reflections:

· Participation in online discussion is an expectation of students enrolled. Giving this is an online class, discussions allow for class participation and interactions. A discussion week is Sunday to Saturday (11:59 pm EST).

· On specific weeks, there are questions or topics to be discussed. You are to post your initial post and respond to all professors posted questions. Initial posts must be made no later than Wednesdays at 11:59 pm. You will also be required to respond to at least two of your peers during the week. Failure to do so will cause a point’s deduction. You must also post at least four days per week. All posts cannot be posted on the same day.

· The initial post will be regarding the week and will be at least 250 words. Provide appropriate references and utilize APA style. Peer posts will be at least 150 words, otherwise will be counted as 0, all subsequent post must be in APA format and properly referenced. There will be 8 discussion posts worth 1 point each. To obtain full credit students must follow the above requirements. Each discussion will be allocated to a specific Master’s Essential.

· Besides the weeks that a discussion question is not posted, the student will be mandated to post a reading reflection paragraph (5-6 sentences, with reference material) regarding the assigned chapters of that week. These posts will be counted towards participation grade.

· In addition, on weeks 15 and 16, each student is to write a small reflection paragraph and post it objectives reflection" in answering what you have learned from this class, where the objectives you had for the class met and how do you anticipate the use of research.

· The reflection posts are your personal viewpoints regarding your reading assignments. No responses are required to your classmates’ posts. This applies to reflection assignments only.
