Nrse4600 -Ideas for project topics?

Nursing Students Ohio University

Published

What are some of the topics we can use? I know the paper lists that we can use patient centered care models, mandatory immunizations, human trafficking, gun control, and mandatory continuing education for nurses,etc. How in the world would we relate gun control to a nursing project? Maybe I'm just confused!

So I wanted to see some of the topics others have used in the past or have thought of. Some of the ones I was thinking was bedside report, implementation of electronic health records, medication scanning. I can't really think of anymore.

This project has me beyond stumped

I a just starting this class and and I am totally lost. I can't think of a project, everything I come up with winds up in the trash heap! I'm so over this and I haven't really even started. I thought a couple of your ideas were pretty good. How is the class for you so far and do you feel you will actually be able to enable change at your workplace as this class is supposed to facilitate?

I recommend picking a topic you already know a lot about. Trust me, it will make this class more tolerable! You could do topics such as reducing falls, decreasing length of stay, decreased wait times in the ED, bedside reporting etc. I did something along the lines of reducing readmissions (patient and family education, assess pt's availability for resources, and ways to help them get the resources they need). I hope this helps. Good luck!

When I took this class last year I did workplace bullying and incivility and how it effects teamwork and collaboration. I tried to institute teaching into yearly competencies about this subject etc

I think a lot of us felt we suffered through trying to pick a topic and follow the instructions early on when they first started this requirement.

I was in the second class to try and work through this and it looks like it's still confusing.

Make sure you have 2 possible solutions if that is still a requirement.

I'm great! Still contemplating whether to pursue my master's or let my brain rest. I saw your vacay pics on FB while I was snowed in!

Yes, I believe the program is in a constant metamorphosis. Some of that is good and some maybe not so good. For those of you in 4600--keep your eye on the prize. You can do this.
