Multiple teachings had been done with mom, the patient and family members. One time, while the little girl was admitted to the hospital, the mother stated “my daughter is doing fine, look how playful she is” meanwhile the patient was wheezing, tachypenic and using accessory muscles to breathe. The doctor told the mother that it is essential not to assume her daughter is okay just because she is playful, and that she must look for the signs of respiratory distress and know when she needs her treatments. Unfortunately, the patient’s next visit for asthma exacerbation lead to cardiac arrest upon arrival to the ER. Fortunately, the child was resuscitated, but she now has a tracheotomy, gtube, neurologically she is unable to track, talk, walk or sit up on her own. A perfectly healthy child has now become a total care. Mother had to learn how to care for her daughter in ways she never imagined such as G-tube feeds and medications, tracheotomy care and changes, changing diapers on her 8 year old and more. The chronic sorrow theory isn’t just about experiencing a death but also an ongoing sorrow such as having a disabled child, which is why I think this story would be perfect.

Late assignments will not be accepted without PRIOR approval of the faculty member. A grade penalty may result from late submission, even with prior approval (e.g., 10 percent reduction in grade for each day late). Biosketch (5%) A biosketch posting is required for the following three aims: (a) provide an introduction to your class community, and (b) share any nursing theory you have used in your nursing practice or have been used as a practice philosophy in your agency. Learning Quizzes (25%) There are five learning quizzes in this course comprised of 5 points each. The learning quizzes are multiple choice. These are open book/open unit quizzes intended to support your learning in the course. University Center for Excellence in Writing (UCEW) Consult (10%) The UCEW supports and promotes writing for all members of the FAU community. Consultants help students at any point in the writing process (i.e., brainstorming, drafting, revising) and with papers for courses and much more. The focus is to provide writing aid rather than an editing service. This assignment entails a two-fold purpose: (a) Active engagement by the learner with UCEW services for writing your paper from start to finish, and (b) Basic knowledge of all of the UCEW resources. In this assignment, you are required to schedule an online or face-to-face appointment with a UCEW consultant for review of the Theory Application Individual Paper and review the content of the UCEW webpage (Link is located under the Scholar-toBe Button in the course). Points are earned with completion of the online 10 point quiz that measures your understanding of UCEW resources, APA style, and providing a paragraph about what you gained in the meeting with the UCEW consultant in the Discussion area. Theory Application Individual Paper (35%) The theory application individual paper involves using theory to guide nursing actions in a clinical scenario. First, the paper involves determining the phenomena with its concepts. Secondly, the paper provides in-depth analysis of the theory and its concepts. Finally, the paper will allow the learner to apply the theoretical concepts to a nursing situation in a clinical environment. In addition, this paper supports your personal and professional development as a scholar in the nursing discipline. The purpose of this assignment is to: 1. Identify and apply theoretical principles from a middle range nursing theory to the concepts of a phenomenon or situation in one’s clinical practice 2. Conduct a comprehensive library database search using appropriate controlled vocabulary and limiters and expanders to locate scholarly references related to the theory and phenomenon; and 3. Critically analyze and apply the theoretical principles to a nursing situation in a clinical environment. 4. Engage in writing to learn as a means to strengthen the written presentation of concepts and ideas essential to nursing scholarship. Begin by identifying an area of specialty interest. From this interest recall an observation from your practice experience and write a short summary or scenario describing the nursing phenomenon or situation. Specify the concepts of the phenomena. Select one middle range theory that pertains to or explains the phenomenon identified. Next, specify the concepts of the theory that pertain to the phenomena. Search a selected bibliographic database in the library to locate references pertaining to the concepts of the phenomena and theory and retrieve the most appropriate articles to reference in the discussion of the nursing situation. The body of the paper demonstrates a refined understanding of the nursing situation in light of the information from the journal articles and the theory. Primary sources are to be accessed. The assignment concludes with a discussion of the concept, phenomenon, theory, and how it applies to his or her practice. The paper content should be nearly 5-7 pages (excluding the title page, reference page, and appendix) and prepared in APA style (levels of headings, double spaced, in-text citation, and references). Criteria Introduction (Do not put this heading in your paper) Short paragraph to introduce the topic with demographic characteristics, prevalence and/or incidence of the patient-centered phenomenon. (1 point) Specify a thesis statement (2 points) End this paragraph with an aim/purpose statement.(1 point) Body (Develop a different heading) Patient-centered phenomenon as a nursing situation is clearly described (1.5 pages) One middle range theory is identified with rationale for why this theory pertains to the phenomena of interest Concepts of the theory that apply to the phenomenon are explained Concepts are applied related to the phenomena of interest with a short rationale/reason (Insert relevant level of heading(s) appropriate to paper organization) The concepts from the theory and the phenomena are used to retrieve relevant articles (Minimum of 8 theory, theory-related research, and other data sources published within the last 5 years with exception for seminal theory articles). Content from articles are related to the topic. Content from article(s) are applied to the practice situation within the context of the selected theory Nursing interventions and/or actions are identified and discussed Conclusion (Develop a different heading) Summarizes purpose of paper, implications for practice, and specific recommendations for research (and health policy as appropriate) Scholarly Writing Possible Points 4 2 2 2 2 6 3 3 Argument: Argument directly and fully answers prompt; is clearly stated early in the paper; is original, compelling, and logical, avoiding absolute claims Evidence: Appropriate amount of relevant, accurate, and justifiably interpreted quotation. Quotation thoroughly introduced, explained, analyzed, and connected to argument/other texts. Possible counter arguments considered. Organization: Paragraphs maintain argument focus, exclude extraneous information, appear in logical order, and transition smoothly. Introduction sets forth argument and the goals of essay. Conclusion opens up avenues for future research. Attention to the Audience: Consistent, academic tone. Appropriate contextual information, anticipating audience questions. Addresses significant issues and makes them important to the audience. Grammar and Format: Errors in grammar and spelling are limited or non-existent (appropriate sentence structure, paragraph structure). Strong introduction that specifies the paper’s thesis and aim(s). Includes a body, and conclusion. Prepared in 3rd person; a writing style for most nursing journals. The paper is organized using APA format for title page, levels of headings, and includes parenthetical citations in-text. Primarily uses paraphrased content with in-text citation. Constructed an accurate and complete reference list using APA format. Total 2 2 2 2 3 35 Mid Range Theory Nursing Situation Group Presentation (25%) The purpose of this assignment is to apply mid-range theory to a nursing situation. The approach entails use of a Functional Analysis and a brief Theory Critique (see Peterson & Bredow, 2017, pp. 40-42). A nursing situation is a shared and lived experience in which caring between the nurse and the nursed enhances personhood. The nursing situation can expand from the patient to include the family, community, and the world. It can specify the philosophy of the health care agency and its environment. As a group specify a nursing situation. Next, select a mid-range theory and specify its application to the situation. The middle range theory must be different from what any of the group members selected for the assigned individual paper. Finally, identify the recommendations for practice, research, and health care policy (This can include specifying changes to the agency’s mission and vision statement). Students can self-select to a group. Up to 5 students will comprise a group (smaller groups may occur depending upon course enrollment). You can access your group under Groups. Groups will be given access to group communication, virtual collaboration, file sharing, blog, and wiki features. The purpose of this assignment is to apply mid-range theory to a nursing situation.

With this consideration, I appreciate what ideas you bring to the course from your practice experience. For this reason nursing situations are included as they recognize and value your professional nursing care experiences. As an adult learner you are engaged in self-management and management of your everyday. As a learner in this course I recognize your choice of being responsible and accountable for all learning activities that include readings, non-graded learning activities, and group participation. My philosophy of education is theoretically-based, just as your practice and research efforts will be developed or further developed after this course. It can be found under Welcome/Get Started Button. Scholar to Be All students by the experience of graduate level study in a transformation to adopt and adapt existing skills to become a scholar. This formative process is expressed as a Scholar-to-Be. This is a new role that includes developing skills that may include library searching (for theoretical perspectives, research studies and evidence), theory appraisal, writing, and presentation skills. It takes self-care, courage, and leadership to be a scholar-to-be. Group/team work is a typical approach to advancing objectives in the work environment and for scholarship. There are several advantages to a group process that include an opportunity to exchange ideas that may creatively develop into a better project, dividing tasks so that you have a part of the process and not the whole, exchange of literature, and opportunity to hear about various nursing situations. For this reason, a group project is an aspect of an assignment to develop a Power Point presentation that is posted in under Discussions. As a group participant, you are asked to be fully present to your group. It is important that you do your assigned part and maintain communication regularly until the end of the project. I do act upon notifications of lack of participation and lack of doing your part. When a negative notification occurs I have options of asking you to schedule a meeting with me for the purpose of identifying options for improving the situation. Such a meeting may include requiring a separate project, modifying the points by one letter grade and downward to a score of zero, and/or scheduling a learning performance meeting with the program coordinator. Fortunately, it is a rare event to have to implement the aforementioned consequences of not being a participatory group member. Writing is integral to nursing practice and science. All practicing nurses are expected to write with consideration to good writing expectations. In nursing practice this unfolds in many ways such as writing letters of reference, writing your personal nursing story, writing nursing situation case studies, and co-authoring manuscripts with others. As a scholar-to-be you need to declare your self as a writer. Imagine if the continuing education paper you just read did not exist because there were no nurse authors? You have something to say about nursing and the call for nursing (Sometimes with a nursing intervention that no one else conceptualized before) and caring enough to engage in authorship. Making time to publish advances the entire discipline and profession. Writing Intensive NGR 6811 Philosophical and Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Practice and Professional Roles has been designated by the College of Nursing as a graduate writing intensive course. This course takes advantage of two teaching/learning approaches, namely Writing to Learn (WTL) and Writing in the Discipline (WID). WTL and WID activities embedded in the course are designed to enhance critical and creative thinking skills, augment discipline-specific content, and advance writing competence. WTL embraces the value of writing as a method of learning to acquire the course content and proficiency. As applied in this course, you will be challenged to think more deeply about the underlying conceptual and theoretical basis for nursing praxis. WID learning methods employed in this course entail revising to explore, reconsider, and strengthen the discourse of written presentation. Such revision occurs with input from the writing center, peer comments, and instructional content in the course. Nursing as a discipline has developed its own body of knowledge, distinct language, and structure of communication. Mastering written articulation of discipline-specific language and conventions prepares students to participate within the larger nursing community of scholars and with other disciplines in academic and practice environments. Student writing outcomes will be compared across course sections to evaluate and refine writing assignments and faculty support. Under the Scholar-to-Be Module, you will find information about the FAU Center for Writing Excellence, APA Style, and more. Communication Communication is a matter of importance in an online course. At the beginning of a course you will likely have questions. The first step is to post under Discussions in the area for general questions. In this area, you are to respond to your student peers if you know the answer. When no answer is available, contact me and I will post a general announcement. I maintain an FAQ about the assignments under the Assignments. I have provided contact information under Welcome. As a reminder, you can contact me about being late for an assignment. I expect you to do so and when you do contact me, please tell me about your plan for meeting the assignment and let’s negotiate a reasonable date to submit the assignment. Keep in mind, that if you are late for more than one assignment than we will need to complete a plan for learning performance improvement or decide about other choices such as and not limited to drop/add and withdrawal according to the college of nursing program and university policies. In Email, please include NGR6811 in the subject line of the email. College of Nursing Professional Statement and University Policies Students are reminded that the College of Nursing Professional Statement and University Policies related to academic integrity applies to all tests, written assignment, verbal communications and other course activities. All policies in the college and university catalogues apply to this course. 1. 2. All course requirements and objectives must be met in order to obtain a passing grade. The student is expected to attend each class, or for an on line class to participate in each unit. A student who misses a class/unit is responsible for class/unit content presented during an absence. Discussions in online courses cannot be made up. 3. All students must have an FAU e-mail address and regular access to a computer. All communication to students is through their FAU email address. If you forward emails from your FAU address to another account, you may miss important information. COLLEGE OF NURSING POLICIES Policies below may be found in: a). The faculty reserves the right to make changes in course content and requirements. b). The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Graduate Handbook located at: http://nursing.fau.edu/uploads/docs/439/Graduate%20Student%20Handbook%20%20Rev%20June%202012.pdf c). Florida Atlantic University’s Academic Policies and Regulations http://www.fau.edu/academic/registrar/FAUcatalog/academics.php and http://www.fau.edu/regulations CODE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The University policy regarding academic integrity is enforced in this course. Students at Florida Atlantic University are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the University mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys an unfair advantage over any other. Dishonesty is also destructive of the University community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and places high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty. For more information, see: http://www.fau.edu/ctl/AcademicIntegrity.php CON Academic Integrity: http://nursing.fau.edu/academics/student-resources/graduate/policies-regulations/academic-integritypolicy.php The College of Nursing regards adherence to the Code of Academic Integrity as a professional competency and an expectation of all students. ANY act of dishonesty that violates the code of academic integrity and misrepresents your efforts or ability is grounds for immediate failure of the course. DISABILITY STATEMENT: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), students who require reasonable accommodations due to a disability to properly execute coursework must register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS)—in Boca Raton, SU 133 (561-297-3880); in Davie, LA 131 (954-236-1222); or in Jupiter, SR 110 (561-799-8585) —and follow all SAS procedures. For more information, see: http://www.fau.edu/sas/ To apply for SAS accommodations : http://www.fau.edu/sas/New.php INCOMPLETE POLICY: The Incomplete Grade Policy is enforced. A student who registers for a course but fails to complete the course requirements, without dropping the course, will normally receive a grade of “F” from the course instructor. A student who is passing a course but has not completed all the required work because of exceptional circumstances may, with the approval of the instructor, temporarily receive a grade of “I” (incomplete). This must be changed to a grade other than “I” within a specified time frame, not to exceed one calendar year from the end of the semester during which the course was taken. ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students are expected to attend all of their scheduled University classes and to satisfy all academic objectives as outlined by the instructor. The effect of absences upon grades is determined by the instructor, and the University reserves the right to deal at any time with individual cases of nonattendance. Students are responsible for arranging to make up work missed because of legitimate class absence, such as illness, family emergencies, military obligation, court-imposed legal obligations, or participation in University-approved activities. Examples of University approved reasons for absences include participating on an athletic or scholastic team, musical and theatrical performances, and debate activities. It is the student’s responsibility to give the instructor notice prior to any anticipated absence and within a reasonable amount of time after an unanticipated absence, ordinarily by the next scheduled class meeting. Instructors must allow each student who is absent for a University-approved reason the opportunity to make up work missed without any reduction in the student’s final course grade as a direct result of such absence. RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION: In accordance with rules of the Florida Board of Education and Florida law, students have the right to reasonable accommodations from the University in order to observe religious practices and beliefs with regard to admissions, registration, class attendance, and the scheduling of examinations and work assignments. Students who wish to be excused from coursework, class activities, or examinations must notify the instructor in advance of their intention to participate in religious observation and request an excused absence. The instructor will provide a reasonable opportunity to make up such excused absences. Any student who feels aggrieved regarding religious accommodations may present a grievance to the director of Equal Opportunity Programs. Any such grievances will follow Florida Atlantic University’s established grievance procedure regarding alleged discrimination. USE OF STUDENT COURSE MATERIAL The Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing may use students’ course-related materials for legitimate institutional purposes, such as accreditation, university review process, or state board of nursing review process, etc. In such cases, materials will be used within the college and university.

Professional Statement http://nursing.fau.edu/academics/student-resources/undergraduate/policies-regulations/professional-statement.php When students of nursing begin their course of study, they enter into an implied professional agreement-agreeing to abide by the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Nursing Ethics and to conduct themselves in all aspects of their lives in a manner becoming a professional nurse. The College of Nursing faculty holds a professional ethic of caring and healing, recognizing that each person’s environment includes everything that surrounds an individual. Similarly, the College creates an environment that preserves the wholeness and dignity of self and others. The faculty requires self and socially responsible behavior and will not accept actions that can be perceived as hostile, threatening or unsafe to others. It is the College’s expectation that students promote a positive public image of nursing. It is the College’s goal, as a professional college, to build an expanding community of nursing scholars and leaders within the context of its’ caring-based philosophy. Safety of the person being nursed and accountability for individual actions are priorities and/or critical components/elements of a professional nursing education. Students who do not abide by this policy will be subject to appropriate academic sanctions which may include disciplinary action, dismissal from the College of Nursing, and/or suspension or expulsion from the University. Approved in Faculty Assembly 11/28/2016 CHRISTINE E. LYNN COLLEGE OF NURSING STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY Nursing is a discipline of knowledge and professional practice grounded in caring. Nursing makes a unique contribution to society by nurturing the wholeness of persons and environment in caring. Caring in nursing is an intentional mutual human process in which the nurse artistically responds with authentic presence to calls from persons to enhance well-being. Nursing occurs in nursing situations: co-created lived experiences in which the caring between nurses and persons enhance well-being. Nursing is both science and art. Nursing science is the evolving body of distinctive nursing knowledge developed through systematic inquiry and research. The art of nursing is the creative use of nursing knowledge in practice. Knowledge development and practice in nursing require the complex integration of multiple patters of knowing. Nurses collaborate and lead interprofessional research and practice to support the health and well-being of persons inextricably connected within a diverse global society. Persons as participant in the co-created nursing situation, refers to individual, families or communities. Person is unique and irreducible, dynamically interconnected with others and the environment in caring relationships. The nature of being human is to be caring. Humans choose values that give meaning to living and enhance well-being. Well-being is creating and living the meaning of life. Persons are nurtured in their wholeness and well-being through caring relationships. Beliefs about learning and environments that foster learning are grounded in our view of person, the nature of nursing and nursing knowledge and the mission of the University. Learning involves the lifelong creation of understanding through the integration of knowledge within a context of value and meaning. A supportive environment for learning is a caring environment. A caring environment is one in which all aspects of the person are respected, nurtured and celebrated. The learning environment supports faculty-student relationships that honor and value the contributions of all and the shared learning and growth. The above fundamental beliefs concerning Nursing, Person and Learning express our values and guides the actions of Faculty as they pursue the missions of teaching, research/scholarship and service shared by the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and Florida Atlantic University. ‘revised April, 2012.’
