MSN/MSM Capstone Ideas

Published

Specializes in Medical ICU, PACU.

Hey everyone!

I have started trying to think about topics for my capstone (I will be taking it next spring) and I am at a total loss.

I am currently in an MSN/MSM program for nursing leadership/administration and I have been a MICU nurse for 5 years.

It seems like a lot of the capstone ideas I've seen done don't necessarily relate to nursing leadership. I don't think mine necessarily has to either, but I would like it to in some way (otherwise relating to critical care). Things like hand-washing just don't interest me.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking either alarm fatigue or nursing retention

but are these topics beat to death too?

I dont think alarm fatigue has been beaten to death, far from it. I did a recent lit search and I think we have barely scratched the surface of the subject. Particularly as technology is changing and a lot of the research data is now outdated and reflective of the era when technology was relatively new, and qualitative data was less well accepted. Good luck with your research!
