Annotated Bibliography; analyze psychology as a science

/in /by

This week, you will research and create an annotated bibliography of five peer-reviewed articles that were published within the last 10 years and relate to the article you selected in Week Two for your Article Review. The peer-reviewed articles you select should be researched in the Ashford University Library and represent a variety of viewpoints on the subject matter. They may support or refute the information presented in your chosen article for review. Each of the peer-reviewed articles must include a complete reference that is correctly formatted in APA style as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center and an annotation of five to six well-developed sentences in your own words that summarize the source and describe its applicability to your selected topic. Please note that no sections from the abstracts of the articles should be included in your annotation.
In your annotation for each peer-reviewed article, analyze psychology as a science as it is presented in the article and explain how it relates to this particular topic. Assess the professional roles presented in the article and describe how they relate to the roles as presented in the article you have chosen for review. Explain any psychological theoretical perspectives presented in the article and how they either support or refute the information provided in the review article. Evaluate contemporary applications of psychology as they are described in the article and compare these to the descriptions within the article for review.
For more in-depth assistance with your annotated bibliography, please visit the Ashford Writing Center located under the Learning Resources tab in the left-hand navigation panel of your online course.

The Impact of nursing specialty certification proposal
Your organization is interested in applying for Magnet status and will be required to submit data on the percentage of nurses who are certified in a nursing specialty. The nursing specialty certifications rates at your entity are low. You have been asked by your Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) to submit a summary of the impact of nursing specialty certification. The CNO will present this information to the Executive Leadership Team in a proposal to reimburse nurses for obtaining and maintaining certification. Create a 1-2 page proposal for your CNO summarizing the following:
Step 1: Locate published evidence (2-4 primary research articles and national/state web references) that supports the concept that certification improves overall nursing care.
Step 2: Identify at least two nursing sensitive outcomes and/or quality outcomes you can realistically audit to evaluate the impact of certification.
Step 3: Select one specialty certification and summarize the projected cost for a staff of 60 RNs to become certified.
Step 4: Perform a cost and benefit analysis and return on investment of certifying 60 RNs
Note: The Impact of the Nursing Specialty Certification Proposal Assignment will be given to your CNO. It should (1) be written in bullet points -whenever possible; (2) must not exceed 2 pages and (3) Include a cost/benefit analysis and ROI (4) List key references at the bottom of the proposal.
