You will develop a project within a practice setting that allows you to develop these leadership skills. You will
identify a problem area in a practice setting that you specifically want to address (e.g., practice, policy,
population, education) that aligns with organizational priorities. Example sources for the problem area may
include the following:
• Practice: joint commission standards, core measures as quality indicators, other data
• Policy: legislation, staffing ratio, regulations from state boards
• Population: children with diabetes, adult obesity
• Education: future of nursing, Benner’s recommendations about nursing education
You will focus on a real-life solution for the problem. You should choose a topic that is timely, manageable, and
realistic to the current healthcare environment. An external resource person (i.e., manager, clinical leader,
clinical educator, policy expert, or population expert) must confirm the relevance of the selected project and
your engagement in the setting as part of project completion. As with all projects, you should think how you, as
a nurse, function in the following roles: detective, scientist, and manager of the healing environment.
*I chose policy r/t staffing ratio's. Just some insight, due to covid census has dropped and therefore the number
of staff has decreased. This is an issue because the mandates due to covid makes working with less staff
difficult. There are no staffing ratios in the state of Kentucky. * I understand that from a finanacial standpoint it's
not a good idea to overstaff, however staff are feeling the effects of added time providing care r/t PPE and
many are quitting because it is hard. These are just some thoughts to use. By all means chose a different area
is it's more suitable.
