Address the following:
1. Your theory-based practice application paper addressed your reflections on the experience of applying theory in practice given your new course knowledge. Take that material one step further by developing a short elevator speech (or pitch) supporting the use of theory within and across nursing for strengthening the profession.
o An elevator speech or pitch is just a short rationale prepared to start a conversation about the topic of interest. Here is a short optional article, if needed, so you are more aware of how you might want to start your discussion post.
o Pagana, K. D. (2013). Ride to the top with a good elevator speech. American Nurse Today, 8(3), 1416. Pagana 2013 Elevator speech.pdf Download Pagana 2013 Elevator speech.pdf
o An elevator pitch is similar to a short “5 minute” reflection paper so it does not have to be a huge piece of work. It should be concise and directly address the topic.
You have a very broad writing prompt! Look back at the program outcomes listed in the overview:
Deliver competent healthcare to diverse young adult, adult, and older adult populations within the community for individuals, communities, and systems.
Design health promotion and disease prevention clinical programs for young adult, adult and older adult populations experiencing acute, critical, and chronically ill diseases.
Evaluate nursing practice and health care to produce quality outcomes of evidence-based acute and chronic care services throughout the community for individuals, communities, and systems.
Demonstrate leadership in clinical practice.
Use ethical decision making in the delivery of acute, critical, and chronically ill care services for vulnerable populations.
Collaborate with intra- and interdisciplinary professionals to achieve quality outcomes in advanced nursing practice
Promote nursing as a profession and a discipline
Demonstrate scholarly inquiry through verbal and written communication in clinical scholarship
Your discussion post/elevator speech may address a particular aspect of a program outcome. You may address the need for or utility of theory in nursing education, practice, research, or administration. You could even address the utility of a graduate level theory course as part of a professional development idea.
You may also use the course outcomes as the focus of your elevator pitch. These include:
1. Differentiate among the major sources of human knowledge.
2. Analyze the function of theory, conceptual frameworks and models in nursing practice and research
3. Evaluate/critique theories from nursing and related fields
4. Apply theories from nursing and related fields to nursing practice.
