PICOT is utilized by the health care community to identify and study a nursing or medical practice problem. Consequently, PICOT examples that may provide insight into the use of the PICOT process, may not be relevant to nursing practice as they are based on a medical practice problem.
Describe the difference between a nursing practice problem and a medical practice problem. Provide one example of each. Discuss why is it important to ensure your PICOT is based on a nursing practice problem.

This assignment will also be used to assess each student against the BVU Signature Skill: Integrative Learning using the rubric attached. This will not be part of your grade, it is simply for the university’s assessment information.

A This assignment has two parts; reflections and goals. The goals section has two subparts: 3P goals and clinical goals. They do not need to be in APA format, but please choose a format that is organized and visually pleasing. You are not limited to a word document; PDF and PPT are acceptable. Please ensure your instructor is able to open your chosen media if not PDF, Word, or PPT. This should be your original work, unique to you. Please work individually and do not collaborate with others on this reflective and personal goal-forming work.
Reflection: 150-250 words
Reflect upon what was learned and briefly write about your thoughts. Include:
What were you surprised to learn from the lecture, or what was new? If no material was new to you, what do you wish was covered instead?
Considering your own unique work-life-school situation, what are your greatest concerns or greater perceived challenges for the second half of the FNP program?
Goals: (Separate from the above 250 word count)
Considering your own personal situation and life challenges, provide three specific goals to help guide your success in two areas
Goals for the 3P courses: (three goals, bullet points are acceptable)
Goals for clinical experiences: (three goals, bullet points are acceptable)
When writing your goals, try to keep in mind principles of SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant/realistic, and time-oriented)
Some Examples: (but remember you need 3 of each goal type)
1) My first 3P goal is to study pathophysiology for 6 hours every week by setting aside 60 min every night from 8-8:30 for six nights a week.
2) My first clinical goal is to contact 7 different clinics each week to look for a pediatric preceptor until I have found someone.
3) My second clinical goal is to decrease my work to part-time so that I can do 40 extra hours in my pediatric rotation in October-December 2022 so that I can be more marketable in a pediatric practice after graduation.

Read the case Study below, and prepare an original discussion thread addressing the following questions: Based on the Model of Core Leadership Skills shown below, how would you describe Caroline’s skills? Coaching and Mentoring are seen as essential components of leadership development. If you were Caroline’s coach, what suggestions would you make to help her develop as a leader?

6.1 Case Study: Sweet Caroline’s
It started with cupcakes. As a teacher at Oak Park Elementary, Caroline would often make cupcakes for the school’s teachers and staff. Everyone raved about her baking expertise, and a colleague asked Caroline to make cupcakes for her son’s birthday party. The treats were such a hit that many of the parents at the party asked Caroline for her phone number, and she quickly found herself baking for multiple parties a week. After a year of baking for private parties, an opportunity arose for Caroline to take her business to the next level. After a local coffee shop went out of business, Caroline signed a contract for its space and opened Sweet Caroline’s, a bakery featuring her cupcakes, muffins, Danish, and other baked goods. Starting small with birthday parties and graduations and growing to wedding receptions and banquets, Sweet Caroline’s quickly became the most sought-after caterer in the city. As the demand for catering cupcakes and cakes
outside of regular business hours grew, Caroline expanded her staff and the services they
offered. In just five years, Sweet Caroline’s morphed from a small bakery into a full-service restaurant and catering company. Although Caroline had no plans of ever going into business, Sweet Caroline’s has been very successful. Caroline is very personable and genuine, which has been instrumental in creating a large and loyal customer base. Furthermore, Caroline’s intuitive sense for how to tailor her services to fit the needs of the community has fueled the company’s growth. Despite her success, however, Caroline has struggled with certain aspects of running Sweet Caroline’s. Now five years after Sweet Caroline’s opened, it has become a highly complex operation to keep organized. Caroline’s staff has grown to 40 employees, some who work in the bakery, some in the restaurant, and some in both places. There are five drivers who deliver cupcakes, cakes, and other catered goods to private parties and businesses six days a week. In addition, Caroline runs weekly ads in the local media, on the radio, and on the Web. Her 22-year-old daughter manages the company’s Facebook page and Twitter account, which boasts more than 3,000 followers. Caroline is a skilled baker, but she is finding that the demands of her growing business and client base are creating challenges that are out of her area of expertise. Many of these fall into the administrative area where she hasn’t the patience or knowledge to deal with detail-oriented aspects of managing her business. For example, Dale, Sweet Caroline’s delivery driver, is often frustrated because the company does not have a system for how orders are to be delivered throughout the city. Dale worked for another company that had a “zone system” so that each driver delivered all orders in one specific area on a given day. In addition, Caroline has opted not to use computers at her company, so all delivery orders are written by hand and then rewritten on clipboards for the drivers when the order is ready. There are often mistakes including duplicate deliveries or a delivery that gets missed completely. Caroline also struggles with scheduling. Employees’ work schedules are developed the weekend before the start of a workweek so that employees often are unaware of their upcoming shifts. As a result, Sweet Caroline’s is constantly understaffed. The food and baked goods are so good that patrons rarely complain about the wait, but staff members get frustrated with the lack of notice regarding their schedules, the lack of staffing, and the stresses these issues cause. When it comes to catering events, there is often chaos as Caroline chooses to work on food preparation, while leaving staff members, who are not trained to do so, to plan the events, manage client concerns and issues, and execute the event. While the quality of the food is consistently superb, clients are often surprised by the disorganized style of the catering staff. The staff feels it, too; many have commented that they feel like they
are “running blind” when it comes to the events because Caroline gives very little direction and is often not around to help when issues arise. Caroline, however, has a good working rapport with her staff, and they acknowledge that Sweet Caroline’s can be a fun place to work. For her part, Caroline knows that working in a bakery can be difficult and demanding, and she consistently praises the efforts and dedication of her staff members. Caroline is also very good about pitching in and working with staff on the production of cupcakes, cakes, and food items, working side-by-side with them on big orders, while providing them with positive encouragement. Caroline truly enjoys the novelty of being a business owner and handles all the accounting and payroll duties for the company. Unfortunately, this aspect of the job is becoming more demanding, and Caroline spends an increasing amount of time on these duties, leaving more and more of the day-to-day operations and catering to her staff. Caroline has been approached about opening a second Sweet Caroline’s in a neighboring town, and while she would like to build on her success, she already feels overwhelmed at times by her current operation and is not sure she can take on more. But she also knows the opportunity to expand won’t last forever.

Rough
Draft Literature Review
Each student will individually conduct a literature review targeting the key concepts and pathways affecting health for your topic. The
organization of your literature review should follow from
the themes identified in your concept map. Your literature review needs to
synthesize the articles, noting how they
contribute to our understanding of your topic, or how they identify one or more
gaps in our knowledge about that topic. In
other words, write a narrative integrating the articles to show how they build
on one another. Together, the articles
including in your literature review should show a gap that you propose to address, or a rationale for pursuing the topic of your
CHA.

Your paper should be
about 3 pages in length (not including reference list) summarizing the
literature on your 2-3 selected topics related
to your CHA idea. (Remember, your CHA idea should be related to neighborhood/community social determinants of health). You
should include both in-text citations and a full bibliography
at the end of the paper. The bibliography should cite all papers and websites
from which you obtained information.
Students should use 7-10 peer-reviewed journal articles. Some ideas for
databases to search include: Medline,
PubMed, PAIS International, and Sociological Abstracts.

Assume that you are a consultant to one of the publicly traded global companies you selected for the Week 2 social media assignment. Top managers have requested that you create a strategic plan, including a S.W.O.T. analysis, for them. A strategic plan is a document that organizations develop to communicate goals and the actions needed to achieve those goals. The plan also has a timeline that includes all critical elements in the planning exercise. Review the company’s financials. Identify if the company met its financial goals for the previous fiscal year. Explain and be specific in your report.
For this assignment, complete a S.W.O.T. analysis of your company using the template included in this week’s resources. Identify at least three points for each of the four S.W.O.T. categories. Then, write at least three recommendations for improvement based on the results of the analysis. For each recommendation, you must identify how it will be put into action (implemented) and what the consequences of each recommendation might be (what could happen after implementation, both positive and negative).
Length: 1-page SWOT analysis with 4-6 pages of recommendations, not including title and reference pages
