You will submit clinical logs and narratives this week. Clinical logs will be recorded in CORE, and narratives will be submitted to week 10 project.

The purpose of these logs is to provide validation of clinical outcomes and supervision of professional development.

Your logs should include the following two parts:

1. Successful completion of CORE hours, with satisfactory explanation of each daily activity. Satisfactory midterm evaluation by mentor. 
2. A written narrative covering the following items:
   • Weekly reflection summary providing an overview of clinical or scholarly activities during the reporting time period (Weeks 6–10).
   • Commentary and evidence (examples) of progress toward achieving specific course objectives.
   • Reflections that include thoughts, feelings, and correlation to the University’s Five Pillars of Nursing (professionalism, critical thinking, holism, communication, and caring) on the overall experience and correlate to The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice.-

DNP ESSENTIALS:

•  I.Scientific Underpinnings for Practice
•  II. Organizational and Systems Leadership for Quality Improvement and Systems Thinking
•  III. Clinical Scholarship and Analytical Methods for Evidence-Based Practice
•  IV. Information Systems/Technology and Patient Care Technology for the Improvement and Transformation of Health Care
•  V. Health Care Policy for Advocacy in Health Care
•  VI. Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population Health Outcomes
•  VII. Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving the Nation’s Health
•  VIII. Advanced Nursing Practice

Note: Each week, your reflection should be a 1- to 2-page summary of the week’s activities. This should result in about 5 pages of the overall reflection summary for week 10.

Rubric:

• Be specific with the activities that were included in clinical hours. This should be more detailed than what is listed in Core. Include specifically what was done during the clinical activity time. Include more than literature review, or worked on IRB, or patient care hours, or met with preceptor. What did you find during the literature review, what specifically did you work on for IRB, what was discussed or completed with the preceptor, what did you do during patient care hours? Include any workshops, business or professional meetings. May include agendas or brochures if they are available. These are some examples of how to be specific. Your grade will be affected if you are not including specific activities, in addition to meeting the criteria listed in the grading rubric and the guidelines under week 5 project.
• Provided an overview of the clinical or scholarly activities during the reporting time period (Weeks 6–10).
• Provided commentary and evidence (examples) of progress toward achieving specific course objectives and DNP Essentials
