Directions for Phase 1:
Select one registered nurse that you know who is creating nursing history today to be the subject of this course project.
This RN must have at least 10 years of RN licensure.
The nurse could be a family member, friend, colleague, acquaintance, manager, former instructor, or other nurse who is creating, delivering, or influencing the practice of nursing in your area. Do not select a former or current patient.
Remember that all nurses are making nursing history today in their own ways, not just the nurses writing books or leading large health systems in innovative change.
Clearly explain to the selected nurse that statements made in the Phase 2 Conversation for this project will be recorded (audio, video, and/or written) and submitted to the instructor for scoring purposes. The interview is not intended for public access. The conversation will be about the Selected Nurses:
memories of nursing and nursing education;
contributions to nursing related to leadership, provision of care, and/or evidence-based practice; and
persons or events that have influenced the nurses professional practice.
Select a date, time, and location to conduct the Conversation with the selected nurse to be scheduled between Saturday of Week 2 or during Week 3.
NOTE: Do NOT conduct Phase 2: Conversation with the Selected Nurse until you receive feedback (in course Grades area for Phase 1 Selected Nurse Information) from your instructor about approval of the nurse you have selected.
