Is the same project, we were suppose to start working since week 1Project: Group Presentation on Nursing TheoristOverview of the ProjectThis course project requires you to complete a group task. As a group, you are required to submit a presentation on the theorist assigned to your group. Your final presentation is due in Week 4.Group FormationYou will be organized into three groups, each of which will be assigned a nursing theorist. The theorists to be studied include, but are not limited to, Madeline Leininger—Transcultural Nursing Theory, Nola Pender; the Health Promotion Model, and Patricia Benner; From Novice to Expert, the Skill Acquisition ModelIf your group would like to study a different theorist, seek permission from your instructor. Each group will conduct a literature review to obtain material related to the assigned theorist and the model. The material should include research conducted in the theory or model, with clinical examples.Click here to download a document that provides guidelines for the literature review.Project DeliverablesThe Project Deliverables include the following:1. Packet of MaterialsEach group will prepare a packet of materials that will be posted to the DQ sectionin Week 4 for peer critique and submitted to the W4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.The purpose of this packet is to support your PowerPoint Presentation. The packet should include a detailed outline of the presentation and a one-page summary of each of the five relevant articles on or about the theory. Also include any handouts, such as charts, diagrams, or definitions, which will facilitate understanding of the PowerPoint presentation and the theory itself. This packet should be submitted as a single document that contains the outline, summaries, and any additional handouts, charts, etc.2. Power Point PresentationPresentations will be made via PowerPoint and will be uploaded by the assigned due date.Your presentation should have:A brief overview of the theorist’s background.Discussion of the theorist’s view of the four basic metaparadigms and two concepts unique to the theory.The basic theoretical assertions or propositions.An analysis and a critique of the model with a focus on elaboration of the theory’s implications for nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing research.Click here to download the Theory Critique template.Please note: It is expected that each one of you will download and read each presentation, and will include relevant material about each theorist in your individual concept papers.Working AheadIn Week 1, your group will be assigned the theorist on whom you have to make the presentation. Your final group presentation is due in Week 4. However, it is recommended that in Week 2 you submit the work you have done on the project up to that point to the facilitator when necessary. The facilitator feedback will help you revise and refine the work already completed and apply the facilitator recommendations to the yet-to-be completed part of the project.For ease of completion, it is suggested that in Week 1, you begin your literature search on the theorist and provide a brief overview of the theorist’s background. You could also complete a 1-page summary for each  of the five articles related to the theory and theorist, the top of the page should have the complete reference in APA format. In Week 2, you can focus on providing your findings on the theorist’s view of the four basic metaparadigms . In Week 3, you can concentrate on providing the basic theoretical assertions or propositions and you can conduct an analysis and a critique of the model with a focus on elaboration of the theory’s implications for nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing research.
