Week 2 Course Project
Milestone 1

Course Project Milestone 1: Guidelines

Purpose

To apply lessons in nursing history to living
nurses contributing to nursing history through an interview and documentation
of historical information

Course Outcomes

The Course Project enables the student to meet
the following Course Outcomes.

CO1: Incorporate appropriate historical
perspectives into current professional nursing practice (PO2).

CO4: Compare current professional nursing
practice roles with historical roles of the nurse (PO7).

Points

The entire project is worth 600 points.
Milestone 1 is worth 100 points of this total.

Submit your completed Milestone 1 by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. mountain
time at the end of Week 2.

Requirements and Guidelines

Nursing history is being made today by exemplary
nurses throughout the world. Select one registered nurse who is creating
nursing history to be the subject of this project. This RN must have at least
10 years of RN licensure. The nurse could be a family member; friend;
colleague; acquaintance; manager; former instructor; or other nurse who is
creating, delivering, or influencing the practice of nursing in your area. Do
not select a former or current patient. Remember that a nurse does not have to
create a nursing theory, write textbooks, or be the head of a nursing
organization to make nursing history. The chief nurse executive who manages to
deliver quality care in a small rural hospital with a tiny budget has a story
worth telling. The nurse who served in the military has a story that is
important to document as nursing history. The staff nurse who consistently
provides high quality care is making history. History is not merely the major
accomplishments or events; it includes the activities nurses everywhere do in their
nursing lives. Milestone 1 is due at the end of Week 2.

Clearly explain to the selected nurse that
statements made in the interview will be recorded (audio, video, and/or
written) and submitted to the instructor. The interview is not intended for
public access.

Obtain permission from the selected nurse to
participate in an interview about his or her

memories of nursing and nursing education;

contributions to nursing; and

persons or events that have influenced his or
her nursing practice.
