Module 1 Discussion
Describe the differences and similarities between research and evidence practice. Which comes first, research or evidence-based practice? Include practice examples with your posts.
This discussion post requires two steps:
Step 1: Submit your completed initial response, [MS Word document or equivalent] to the Assignment folder “Discussion Post Originality Check” for Turnitin similarity checking. Click on the ‘Assignments’ link in the course navigation bar to locate the assignment folder. You are required to achieve an acceptable similarity score before proceeding to step two. See the Course Resources module’s subfolder ‘Turnitin’ for policy and algorithm (acceptable score) details.
Step 2: Post your initial response by Wednesday at midnight. Respond to one student by Sunday at midnight. Both responses must be a minimum of 150 words, scholarly written, APA formatted, and referenced. A minimum of 2 references are required (other than your text). Refer to grading rubric for online discussion.
Note: your instructor may require following these steps in a future discussion topic at their discretion.

Module 2 Discussion
Identify a phenomenon (clinical problem) of interest. Formulate a clinically-based problem and purpose statement related to the problem using a PICOT format.
NSG502 Advanced Nursing Research
Module 3 Discussion
Please post your PICOT question from the Module 2 Discussion. What is the best research method to answer your question? Be sure to note that a “qualitative design” does not relate to quality (e.g., quality of life outcomes). It is a method that uses open-ended questions (rather than close-ended questions used in quantitative studies). The intent for both qualitative and quantitative methods it to improve quality care outcomes.

Research/Evidence Based Practice Project Part I
The major project for this course is a hypothetical research proposal. You will not actually implement this proposal. However, if you go on to complete your DNP or PhD this type of study would be developed and implemented as part of your program.
The proposal will be implemented in three parts as listed below.
Part one is due at the end of week three. Part two is due at the end of week eight, and part three is due at the end of week 11. You will discuss your proposal with peers and your instructor during the discussion 12.
Part one is worth 15% of your course grade, part two is worth 20% of your course grade and part three is worth 30% of your course grade.
Please follow the grading rubric for written assignments which can be found in the course resource section.
