Capstone courses function as a bridge between the end of school and the beginning of a career, allowing nursing students to put what they’ve learned into practice. As the name suggests, students complete capstones toward the end of their nursing training. Not every nursing program requires a capstone, but those that do generally culminate in a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) or doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree.

Each nursing program sets their own requirements. While capstone formats differ between programs, they typically consist of an evidence-based practice formal paper or presentation. Students might complete their capstone projects as team leaders, and BSN candidates may present their papers to a faculty panel. Projects could include case studies, program evaluations, and policy analyses.

The focus on evidence-based practice allows students to apply research and experiential evidence toward solving a healthcare problem. For example, candidates may develop intervention strategies that promote health, improve outcomes, enhance quality of life, and foster safe practices for patients.

Capstone goals center on the application of knowledge gained during nursing training programs, including topics related to leadership , management, research, theories, and evidence-based practice, along with the strategies needed to transition from students to baccalaureate-level nurses.

Choosing Your Nursing Capstone Topic

When selecting a capstone topic, students should evaluate their interests, strengths, and weaknesses, along with their chosen nursing specialty area. Luther College recommends that students with lower GPAs and weaker nursing skills consider a basic medical-surgical topic. Those with strong clinical skills and high GPAs might choose emergency or intensive care medicine, although some students might prefer outpatient topics, such as clinical services, long-term care, or public health. However, this is simply an example of one school’s approach, and readers should keep in mind that each school sets its own policies and recommendations.

Asking for guidance from faculty, supervisors, preceptors, and fellow students also helps narrow down capstone topics. Advisors can also provide assistance in choosing an appropriate capstone site, helping with questions of geographical location, facility size, patient population, and care delivery model.

Students develop and learn the skills needed to complete their capstones throughout their training. These include organization and time management, knowledge of evidence-based practice, writing, and critical thinking. They also learn to conduct literature searches, identify research designs, and evaluate evidence.

Completing Your Nursing Capstone

Capstone formats and completion times widely vary between programs. Students at Luther College and Purdue University Northwest complete their capstones in 4-5 weeks, while Ferris State University specifies a timeframe of 30 hours of online classes and 90 hours of applied project work. Case Western Reserve University’s capstone spans 10 weeks.

Regardless of the program, most students follow a PICO format for project proposal questions of inquiry: population, intervention, comparison or condition, and outcome.

Some universities allow capstone projects to be completed in teams, in which students develop and implement the project. Capstone components may include defining the project and the team leader’s role, selecting team members, and formulating the project plan.

In addition to the skills previously referenced, such as knowledge of evidence-based care, critical thinking, and effective writing, capstone courses hone leadership and management abilities These include mastering therapeutic communication, applying leadership and management concepts, and developing collaborative relationships and working on multidisciplinary teams.

Presenting Your Nursing Capstone

The capstone process culminates in a paper or presentation that measures students’ skills in communication, information dissemination, and application of evidence-based practice skills. Members of the public may attend.

Utilizing the poster format, students commonly use three panels to illustrate: (1) the background, problem, and purpose; (2) methodology; and (3) 2-3 key findings and implications. Students who present using PowerPoint on a laptop or other device should pay attention to time limits, planning for one slide per minute, and verify that equipment and internet connectivity are available.

Visuals like graphs, figures, and bullet points are more effective than large blocks of text . Students should practice presenting in front of others to ensure that they thoroughly know their content and can answer questions. Backing up a copy of a PowerPoint presentation and printing out copies or transparencies guards against last-minute glitches.

How is a Nursing Capstone Graded?

Capstone grading methods differ between programs, with some issuing letter grades and others using a pass/no pass system. Grades typically hinge on a percentage basis of the project’s written sections, the final proposal, and the presentation. Faculty evaluate how students execute the capstone course objectives, which may include the following:

Students’ presentation skill evaluation criteria include exhibiting thorough preparation and knowledge of the subject matter, clear and concise communication, adherence to any time limits, ability to answer questions and cite references, and persuasiveness.

What is the Difference Between a Nursing Capstone and a Thesis?

Students complete capstones individually or in groups, while thesis projects must be done alone. Capstone project time lengths span between four and 12 weeks, while graduate students work on their thesis projects throughout their 2- to 3-year programs. Graduate thesis courses generally take place over 1-2 semesters to keep students on track.

Finally, capstone topics evaluate current issues and theories; thesis students incorporate existing case studies and literature while exploring and arguing for their own original research. Some schools require students to publish their thesis papers in a healthcare journal.

Nrse4600 -Ideas for project topics?

Nursing Students Ohio University

Published Jan 16, 2014

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

• + Add a Comment

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?

Beautifulyou

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!

woodsyny, MSN

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

enuf_already

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.

Enuf_Already how are you! Good to see you here! I think they have changed it around a bit since you and I took it, Just glad to be DONE!

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.

enuf_already, I needed a break. Aruba as always was wonderful when the northeast was getting dumped with snow! Went straight through at OU and gave up vacations. Started my MSN last October. Yep call me crazy but loving my MSN program so far! Just taking it slow and steady:yes:

What is the Nursing Capstone Project?

Nursing students will attend a suitable course or program for their future occupation. However, towards the end of their studies, they have to write a capstone project about the features of medical care in order to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing or MSN (Master of Science in Nursing). This is actually a paper that’s not much different from academic assignments at other universities and colleges.

So, what is a nursing capstone project, and how should you do it? You have the freedom to choose a topic, but make sure to consult with your tutor. That means your topic might come from informatics, women’s health, or any other area of interest. The idea is to answer a question or a problem and show a deep understanding of your capstone project idea.

Your capstone project topic will require carrying out independent research and presenting a detailed analysis of the issue. The paper can be anywhere between 25 and 100 pages, as long as it offers a comprehensive answer to the proposed topic.

Here is why tutors insist on working on this paper:

• You are demonstrating what you have learned. The crucial benefit of working on these project ideas is to showcase your knowledge. This paper shows you can apply theories and frameworks with professional practice.
• Enhancing professional development. Identifying the right ideas and working on them will further upgrade your knowledge.
• You might find a special interest in a particular area. You might discover the category you want to specialize in during your career.
• You are learning more about the community and its problems. You’ll understand the community better, and you might even help to design strategies to improve it.

You may also need to choose nursing research topics 2023  while studying. Choosing from the nursing leadership project ideas and working on this capstone paper can be fun. However, some students don’t have enough time on their hands to complete the task. You can contact a premium writing service to help finish the assignment. They can turn your nursing capstone project idea into reality and ensure you deliver a superb paper in the expected timeframe.

If you are ready to start working on your project, look for inspiration in the ideas below!

Before you proceed, you need to know a few more things. All, including emergency nursing capstone project ideas, are essential, and capstone project ideas in nursing have a huge role in the overall process. They can be long, up to 100 pages, so you can deduce that a BSN nursing capstone will need a lot of time to be completed. This can be a bit easier with proper nursing project ideas, but it is still a complex matter. A nursing capstone can be based on nurse leadership,  health care,  cervical cancer,  quality of life,  standardized fall risk assessment tool, and so much more. But, it will always assess what you have learned and how well you have adopted the facts. That’s why capstone nursing is considered one of the health history most essential types of writing and one that can make a massive difference. You will have to complete countless nursing capstone ideas and capstone projects . Each one shares the overall essentials and importance. Try to make your nursing capstone projects based on your experience and learning. We will give you a lot of examples, and some are based in rural areas, which makes this a bit more complicated. Just imagine having to write on psychological rehabilitation readiness assessment. It is not simple in nursing, and these projects will require days of preparation.

Lastly, always have a lot of time to focus and develop your nursing capstone project ideas. The nursing informatics capstone project ideas are even more time-consuming, while the oncology nursing capstone project ideas are ethically hard to work on. Your nursing capstone project needs to be detailed, to the point, and include all the facts your readers need. There will be a lot of them. Hence, you do need a lot of preparation. A BSN capstone of this kind may need 2-3 weeks to be completed. Yes, you can complete mental health issues, gestational diabetes, nursing informatics, or domestic violence effects in less time, but this is not wise. These topics have a lot of importance. Hence, they need practical work experience to be understood.

Nursing is a field of study that requires experience and skill to excel in. With the growing demand for nurses and advancements in research, this field has become more competitive. Many students struggle to complete their nursing capstone projects because they lack experience, resources, and time. If you find yourself in this situation, you can always contact a nursing research paper writing service for help. They will provide you with the highest quality project and support to ensure that you succeed in your academic endeavors.

As the only program of its kind at any private Christian university in the nation, Cedarville’s IID program gives students the opportunity to benefit from senior capstone projects with national brands, including Chick-fil-A and Answers in Genesis. 

Since the program began in 2010, IID students have partnered with organizations in real-life projects that enhance the students’ learning and benefit a national business. 

Meanwhile, Answers in Genesis — a recent partner with the IID program — partnered with Cassie Cunningham (Birmingham, Alabama) to design a way to meet the diverse needs of parents of young children, individuals with limited mobility and children with sensory needs at its Creation Museum in Kentucky. Still conceptual at present but a potential future reality, Cunningham’s design, “the Meadows Family Care Center,” features four rooms: the main room, a calming room, a nursing mother’s room and a family care restroom. 

“I have put major emphasis on taking cues from God’s creation in my designs."

“I have put major emphasis on taking cues from God’s creation in my designs because nature and natural design has been proven to reduce stress, strengthen cognitive functions, improve mood and wellbeing and even expedite healing,” Cunningham said. “I wanted to balance biophilic design (nature in architecture) with cleanliness and safety because those are some of parents’ primary concerns.” 

A second project with Answers in Genesis features Tim Comstock (Marysville, Ohio) and his work on the Ark Encounter’s admissions process. The current confusing but temporary building and process led Comstock on a quest to design a new admissions building, design a masterplan for a new, more efficient parking lot layout, and alter the bus path to better integrate with the admissions building and make the process easier and faster for both the staff and guests. As future buildings will feature the architectural style of the old Phoenician port city of Tangier, Morocco, Comstock incorporated this style in his design. 

“The primary focus of this project was to create a fresh concept so that Answers in Genesis could have a unique but thought-out direction that could inform their design process and future decisions,” Comstock said. “At the very least, in a few years I’ll be able to know exactly what parts of my senior capstone made it into a park that hundreds and hundreds of people experience every day.”

The three-month capstone projects culminated with seniors presenting their work to representatives of Chick-fil-A and Answers in Genesis April 29 and 30. 

Cedarville’s industrial and innovative design program is offered in partnership with the International Center for Creativity (ICC), an independent design studio with innovative education programs. A tenet of the ICC is experiential learning, leading to frequent partnerships with outside companies. 

The ICC has partnered with Chick-fil-A eight times for senior projects, creating a great relationship that leads to internships and job positions for ICC students with the fast-food giant. 

Answers in Genesis is a new partnership for the ICC, established this year by The Graduate School at Cedarville University. The head of industrial design at Answers in Genesis requested a partnership with Cedarville’s program, leading to the capstone partnerships this year. 

“Our students work hard and provide our partners with solid solutions,” said Jim Stevenson , program director for the industrial and innovative design major and president of the ICC. “It’s humbling for them to realize they’re engaging in real-world problem solving.”

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
