Readmission Reduction Initiative: Patients and Family Education

The experiential learning project provides students with the opportunity to explore a problem or issue of particular personal or professional interest that is
somehow related to one of the following nursing competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork/collaboration, evidence based practice, quality
improvement, safety or informatics (QSEN: http://www.qsen.org) – Please use the Graduate Competencies to complete your assignment.
The project must demonstrate your ability to synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills acquired through this academic program to real-world nursing
issues and problems. This final project will affirm your ability to think critically and creatively, to solve practical problems related to nursing practice or the
facilitation of patient-centered care, to make reasoned and ethical decisions, and to communicate effectively orally and in writing. Remember, your project is
to be actually implemented during the five weeks of this course.
NOTE: This is slightly different than the form that you submitted for approval in NRSE_4600_Pre-course.
Objectives
