NRS 552 Overview

In this course, the graduate student will contribute to the body of nursing knowledge through an evidence-based capstone project. Using the research methodology of integrative review, students will analyze and synthesize literature related to an identified issue or need in nursing education or leadership. The work will be guided by faculty and an assigned academic reader with the goal of demonstrating an ability to properly locate, evaluate, document, analyze, synthesize and extract new perspectives from published research. The course will culminate with a student presentation that shares their process, conclusions and recommendations in response to a focused research question. Prerequisite: All nursing core and concentration courses.
