Week 12 assignment
Scholarly Activities
Throughout the RN-to-BSN program, students are required to
participate in scholarly activities outside of clinical practice or
professional practice. Examples of scholarly activities include attending
conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality
meetings, interdisciplinary committees, quality improvement committees, and any
other opportunities available at your site, within your community, or
nationally.
You are required to post one scholarly activity while you
are in the BSN program, which should be documented by the end of this course.
In addition to this submission, you are required to be involved and contribute
to interdisciplinary initiatives on a regular basis.
Submit, as the assignment, a summary report of the scholarly
activity, including who, what, where, when and any relevant take-home points.
Include the appropriate program competencies associated with the scholarly
activity as well as future professional goals related to this activity. You may
use the “Scholarly Activity Summary” resource to help guide this
assignment.
While APA format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and
references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be
found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
