NRSG375 Clinical Leadership - Written Assignment

ASSIGNMENT 3

Written Assessment - The AT 3 assignment asks you to discuss and analyse in greater detail, 2 of your chosen discussion posts that you submitted for Assignment 2 (AT2) (600 words for each topic).

For the 2 posts that you choose, you are to re-write (not duplicate) the posts you choose to critically discuss and analyse professional leadership in nursing in further detail to that provided in your original discussion posts. Building on your engagement and feedback in the discussion forum posts you will expand your responses through the use of sound written and analytical communication skills, to analyse in greater depth the major theoretical foundations of leadership and their application to nursing practice. To enable you to do this you must read and research widely and use further contemporary literature to support your stance in addition to the literature cited in your original discussion posts. This is to demonstrate your understanding of the contribution of sound leadership that enhances service delivery to improve health care outcomes. You must also include again as you did in AT2, screen shot evidence of your original entire posts and response posts in a single (1) collated word document via Turnitin on LEO.

Purpose: Building on student engagement from 4 online forum posts (assignment 2), this assessment enables students to showcase sound written analytical communication skills and to consider leadership in nursing and health care, and the expectations and opportunities in their professional role

WORD COUNT

Writing requires skill and being able to write within a specified word limit is an essential component of professional and academic work. Reading and writing critically are fundamental skills which demonstrate an understanding and an ability to make judgements and solve problems, hence why only 10% of a word count should be direct quotes. That is, if the word count is 1500 words only 150 of those words should be direct quotes. Word counts provide students with an indication of the amount of detail and work required for each assessment item.

What is included in a word count?

Essentially, all text within an assessment item from the introduction through to the conclusion is counted in the word count. This includes all in-text citations, direct quotes and headings. The word count does not include the following:

• Title page
• Reference list
• Appendices
• Tables
• Figures and legends
