NR630_W5_Capstone_Preview_Project_Guidelines_12_3-V2 Capstone Preview
Assignment
The capstone preview project focuses on a problem or issue identified during the executive practicum experience and suggests an evidence-
based solution to the identified problem or concern. The capstone project’s topic should provide sufficient depth and scope to integrate
evidence-based practice, multidisciplinary theory, and advanced nursing practice concepts into areas specifically related to the role of the
nurse executive.
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to provide learners with the opportunity to initiate the capstone project. The student will identify a practice
issue or concern that impacts the role of the nurse executive and will conduct a literature search on the topic. The student will develop an
annotated bibliography to provide an understanding of the current literature on the capstone topic. This will provide the foundation for
development of the capstone project in NR 660.
