Identify a clinical topic of concern that you think could benefit from a change of practice
Propose an independent nursing practice intervention as a change to current practice
Using the PICOT format develop each element of the PICOT (See Week 2 Illustration part of the lesson for a PICOT example from Nurse Daniel)
Please avoid using topics that are broad or are not able to be implemented as an independent nursing intervention as a BSN nurse.
Avoid using:
medical/doctor/physician problems such as medications, medication administration, errors, or effects, diagnostics, such as labs,
etc.
staffing, nurse-to-patient ratios, workforce issues which nursing cannot be impacted through an independent change intervention

Choose a clinical topic of concern that you think could benefit from a change and is important to you
