Unit of study_
SNGP3004: Professional Practice Project
2024 unit information
This unit of study is intended to be undertaken as one of the final units of study in the degree program as it acts as a capstone to the students learning. This unit encourages students to draw on their prior learning from across all units of study in the degree program and further develops their graduate qualities. Students will undertake an investigation/review of an area of practice, or a particular practice, in nursing. The project will involve articulating an argument for thorough examination of practice in nursing – for example a review of a practice/procedure/policy/protocol – and culminate in a literature review formulated as a journal manuscript suitable for submission to a specified journal for publication. The literature review will include primary research, and where appropriate examination of other forms of evidence, such as written policies and protocols. Students will be guided to the type of review and approach to the review. This project is highly suited to currently practising nurses whose professional responsibilities and interests include clinical leadership, management of a clinical service or practice development and/or the use of evidence in practice.
