Question Description
Throughout your practicum experience, you have been designing and implementing a project. You will now assess that experience. Prior to beginning this paper, discuss the topics below with your preceptor. Include their feedback as well as your own. In a 1,500 word document, discuss the following topics:

What was the focus of your leadership project, the goals you set for yourself, and the AONE competencies you hoped to achieve?
Goals: To work with Washington Regional Medical Center (WRMC) and their clinics, population health department, and Home Health Department to vaccinate, with the COVID -19 vaccine once it becomes available.To send nurses into the homes all patient at high risk and the home bound population within Madison, Benton and Washington Counties in Arkansas.

The turbulent, ever-changing world of healthcare continues to present new challenges. With its vision of “shaping the future of healthcare through innovative nursing leadership,” AONE recognizes that excellent leadership is essential to ensure excellent patient care.A vaccine against COVID-19 would slow its spread around the world. Fewer people would get sick, and more lives could be saved.

(The idea is to send the Home Health nurses into the homes of the patients to vaccinate them and their families once the patients have been identified.

How did you discover the need for this project, and how did it fit into the organization’s philosophy and mission?
COVID 19 is a highly infectious disease and created a pandemic around the world.

Washington Regional Medical Center mission: To be the leading healthcare system in Northwest Arkansas — the best place to receive care and the best place to give care. To treat others – patients and their families, visitors, physicians, and each other – as we would want to be treated.

Assignment:Dispensing of COVID-19 Vaccination

Assignment:Dispensing of COVID-19 Vaccination

Did you encounter any real or potential barriers during your practicum experience related to your project?
Not having a Vaccine is the barrier at this time along with gaining the understanding of the Marshallese people. According to the 2010 census, 22,434 people of Marshallese origin live in the United States. The United States has the highest concentration of Marshallese people outside the Marshall Islands. Most of these Marshallese people live in Hawaii and Arkansas (mainly in Springdale, Arkansas) which is in Washington County. Tracking the positive cases and monitoring the patients with symptoms that test results have not came back.Results take around 48 hours to return detected or not detected.We also believe we are seeing some false negative test return. Additional barriers are the many rural areas that are associated with Madison County in Arkansas.

Discuss how the outcomes of your project will be measured? Is your project one that is sustainable or is it designed to be a single occurrence?
Fewer cases of COVID 19 outbreaks among people would be the outcome and it should be sustainable.

Evaluate the success of your project. If you were not able to implement your project, discuss why. What are the next steps for the project?
Collect the names of the people and family members to receive the vaccines then map out the routes.

Organize supplies for transport along with physician orders

Provide proper PPE for the nurses going out into the community to administer the vaccine.

Provide education to clients regarding the medication that is to be administered, inquiring about allergies, answer questions, obtain signatures on consent forms.

Use a minimum of two peer-reviewed resources (published within the last 5 years) as evidence to support your views.

EVERYTHING UNDERLINED ARE WHERE I WANT TO GO WITH THIS PROJECT

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
