NRSE 4600: Clinical Practice Project (CPP) Goals and Objectives

This Form is to be typed.

Project Topic:

• Give a brief explanation of your topic and identify the one QSEN.org competency that best fits your topic (use the graduate competencies under education on QSEN.org) and that you will address in your project.
• Discuss Health Care Organization (this is not the facility/organization where you are implementing your project, may be a nursing organization, or any organization which sets standards, conducts research, or publishes evidence based literature in relation to your topic) that will help support your project.
• Discussion should include the mission/values of the organization (in your own words). Provide citations and references (no direct quotes). Choose one organization.

Global Objective

The purpose of a global objective is to provide a vision for your overall project. It should be broadly stated, it is what you will be developing and implementing in this course, what is your final product (example: if you are creating a tool to educate patients-then the global objective is the development and presentation of this education).

• Write 1 Global Objective (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations).

An objective should consist of one sentence.

Project Objectives

Now your global objective should be broken down into more focused steps. Be sure your Project Objectives support your Global Objective! How will you achieve your global objective? Be specific. Write 4 Project Objectives…objectives should start with an action verb! (Do Not Use Any Abbreviations)

For example; Research on…Develop a tool/guide/protocol/policy/process to…Develop and present education to staff on new tool…Implement new tool on ___number of patients to improve… Last updated: 2/3/2020 © 2020 School of Nursing Ohio University Page 2 of 3

NRSE 4600: Clinical Practice Project (CPP) Goals and Objectives

Direct patient contact/engagement-implementation in clinical practice:
