Practicum Experience Journal

Title:Practicum Experience Journal

As noted earlier, the purpose of the journal is to apply evidence from the entire Master’s program of study, with special attention to your specialization’s body of knowledge and to the analysis of activities, issues, or problems you encounter during your practicum. Drawing from evidence, concepts, and/or theories (evidence) learned in this program and your specialization, you will analyze one problem, issue, or situation (event) you observe during your practicum experience. You will decide if the observed event is consistent with or different from the evidence, how the event mirrors or differs from the evidence, and how evidence might be used to enhance the similarity or diminish the difference, if appropriate. Sometimes, a deviation from the evidence-based practice is necessary during different situations. If you do not work on-site with your preceptor in the week your journal is due, you may reflect on experiences from a previous week of your practicum for your journal entry.
Each journal entry is limited to one page (–300 words) and requires a minimum of two scholarly sources.
Your journal entry should be week-based and sequential so that all journal entries are contained in one file. The journal entries must include the following( please ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS below SUPPORTED WITH EVIDENCES, CONCEPTS,THEORIES)
• 1. Describe the observed activity (no more than ½ page).(OBSERVANCE OF NURSING DOCUMENTATION)
• 2. Using an evidence-based approach, analyze the problem, issue, or situation.
• 3. Reveal how the real-world might mirror or diverge from program-related evidence, concepts, and/or theories
