This Assignment addresses this course outcome:
Develop aphilosophy that supports advanced nursing practice reflecting the values,beliefs, and cultural competencies relative to nursing practice, science, and theory.
Nowthat you have spent the last 8 weeks discussing theory development andexploring models and philosophies that guide advance practice nursing, it istime for you to put it all together.

Your presentationshould bring together the theory that best fits your concept of advancepractice nursing, the model that you will use to translate this into practice,and your final philosophy of advance practice nursing related to your roleafter graduation.
Pleaseremember that your presentation should contain slides that have bullet points.The bullets should number no more than four to six per slide. The bullet pointis not written as a complete sentence. It contains key words. You, as thepresenter will explain in depth what each bullet point means in the audioportion of the presentation. Slides may contain graphics, but should beuncluttered. Background and font colors should be of sufficient contrast tomake reading them easy on the eyes.
