Leadership and management experience in the field of nursing
Leadership and management experience in the field of nursing, Introduction: The Field Experience course is an important step on the way to getting your MSN. For this assessment, you will plan and create a project prospectus in which you propose a practice change, quality improvement, or new idea that is backed up by evidence and shows that you have a good understanding of all of the WGU graduate competencies.

This project is not primary research, but it should focus on scholarly evidence to support practice improvements, innovation, or general practice change. It won’t need to be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). You will have to do a thorough review of the literature to figure out what evidence supports your project. The literature review is a collection of first-hand research studies that have already been done and that show how best to do things. Once your prospectus is done, you will make a professional presentation of your project prospectus, which you will then show to your stakeholder group and preceptor. You will move on to Task 2 of the Field Experience if you do well on this assessment.
Before you can start working on your proposal, you’ll need to get approval from your organization for your capstone project and a letter of agreement from your preceptor.
In Task 1, you will have to write a proposal for your capstone that describes your problem and how you plan to solve it. You won’t be able to start working on your project until it has been approved by WGU.
