Description: This course provides nursing students with the opportunity to narrate their journey of Magnet® learning throughout the program. In this course, students will describe the process of effective change by linking theoretical constructs and philosophical tenets of previous classes in the program. Most notably, previous work from the Evidence Based Practice Using Nursing Research (NUR 3400), Quality & Patient Safety Using Nursing Informatics (NUR 4040), and Transformational Nursing Leadership (NUR 4310) will be synthesized to illustrate how Magnet® concepts were used to inform care and improve patient outcomes. An important objective of this class is for the student to summarize the relationship in their own practice between the Magnet® concepts and QSEN goals for improved patient outcomes.

University Requirement(s): Senior Experience
