is a practice discipline that includes direct and indirect care
activities that affect health outcomes. As a baccalaureate nursing
student, you are developing new competencies in leadership, and in order
to achieve mastery, you must apply those competencies to live practice
experiences and situations. This Leadership Learning Experience (LLE) is
designed to allow you to choose a clinical focus (e.g., practice,
policy, education, population) in which you apply your leadership
problem–solving skills. The LLE requires engagement with other people
within the setting to complete. You
will develop a project within a practice setting that allows you to
develop these leadership skills. You will identify a problem area in a
practice setting that you specifically want to address (e.g., practice,
policy, population, education) that aligns with organizational
priorities. Example sources for the problem area may include the
following: • Practice: joint commission standards, core measures as quality indicators, other data • Policy: legislation, staffing ratio, regulations from state boards • Population: children with diabetes, adult obesity • Education: future of nursing, Benner’s recommendations about nursing educationYou
will focus on a real-life solution for the problem. You should choose a
topic that is timely, manageable, and realistic to the current
healthcare environment. An external resource person (i.e., manager,
clinical leader, clinical educator, policy expert, or population expert)
must confirm the relevance of the selected project and your engagement
in the setting as part of project completion. As with all projects, you
should think how you, as a nurse, function in the following roles:
detective, scientist, and manager of the healing environment.RequirementsYour
submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of
30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one
