    o ● Choose a problem from your practice area (Emergency Room) you would like to find a solution for or a healthcare/nursing/client problem you are aware of and interested in finding a solution (cannot be the same problem from your Applying Theory to Practice paper)
    o ● Choose a theory, a framework, or conceptual model that fits the problem (may be the same theory from your Applying Theory to Practice paper)
    o ● Determine how the theory will guide the study and create a post that:
    o 1. Describes the problem briefly (use reference(s) to support)
  5. Describes the theory briefly (use text to support)
  6. Defines key terms or concepts (related to problem and theory)
    o 4. Identifies the goals or aims of the potential study
  7. Explains how the research will contribute to the body of nursing knowledge
    ● Add a Title - include theory and enough detail for readers to understand in your
    thread post
