RNRT 486: Capstone Project in Nursing

The capstone project demonstrates the students’ synthesis of learning from previous courses and consists of a 40-hour quality improvement project completed at the students’ place of employment. Students identify an area of interest with an opportunity for change in their practice setting. Students conduct an organizational assessment, complete a comprehensive literature review and develop a strategy for implementation of change. The project incorporates inter-professional collaboration and leadership, culminating in an oral and PowerPoint or poster presentation. This course requires a minimum of 40 hours of experiential time in the field. Students must meet with the RNBS or RTBS Program Coordinator at least one (1) month prior to the start of RNRT 486 to have their Capstone project approved.
