Purpose:
The purpose of the threaded discussion is to promote dialogue among students and faculty during the course.
Requirements:
The student must provide the initial substantive response to the discussion question/topic(s) posted by the course faculty by Friday of those weeks with a discussion board assignment.
The student must also provide a minimum of two additional responses to two student colleagues on two different days by Tuesday of those weeks with a discussion board assignment.
All questions posed to the initial student post by course faculty need to be answered by the student to earn full credit for the discussion board assignment.
This should be substantive feedback to a student colleague’s response to the question/topic posted by the course faculty. All responses must be respectful and thoughtful.
Discussion boards are not opinion boards.
Instead, students must use scholarly sources.
These sources support claims in original posts.
Additionally, citations must be provided.
While scholarly resources aren’t required for responses,
they do strengthen your posts.
Thus, you must cite any information taken from a source.
Citations are also required for synthesized parts.
These can come from course texts,
peer-reviewed articles, or other credible sources.
Furthermore, course faculty will monitor compliance.
They use Turnitin to evaluate posts periodically.
Nursing scholarship refers to the generation,
synthesis, translation, application,
and dissemination of knowledge in nursing.
Its goal is to improve care and health outcomes (Milton, 2022).
Moreover, it plays an integral role in enhancing clinical practice.

These include primary empirical research,
data analysis, and theory development and testing (Milton, 2022). APA
