NR667: Eportfolio (Narrative Analysis)

The ePortfolio assignment is embedded in select courses throughout the nurse practitioner program. Refer to the table below for a list of courses. You will begin developing your ePortfolio by watching the “how-to” video and by creating the sections of the ePortfolio. Next you will upload the required artifact for each course indicated. Courses that requires an artifact (an assignment is considered an ePortfolio artifact) you will see a prompt in the course to add the required document. Grading of the entire ePortfolio will take place in the final course, NR667, your final practicum course.

There will be three (3) sections to your ePortfolio. The first section is the Introduction, the second is Course Artifacts and the third is the Outcomes Analysis and Planning section.

1. Introduction Section:

1. Resume (using provided resume format)
2. Professional:
   • Certifications
   • Licenses
   • Conference / Non-Academic Course Completion Documents
   • Work Evaluations
   • Letters of Recommendations
   • Student Created Table of Clinical Experiences with Dates
3. Professional Goal Statement:
   • Goals and Objectives
   • DNP Reflection

2. Artifacts Section:

In the Artifacts section of the ePortfolio each student is expected to submit graded assignments, with instructor comments, along with the grading rubric (used by the course instructor that includes grade received for the assignment). There should be a minimum of three (3) artifacts for each course included in the ePortfolio. One of these artifacts is the required artifact which is found in the “Artifact Table”. You will choose the other two artifacts from the course to include.

The artifacts collectively should demonstrate growth in critical thinking, new graduate nurse practitioner clinical competence, scholarly writing, and professional growth that occurred during your graduate nursing student education.

Every course from the table below (Artifact Table) must be represented in the ePortfolio artifacts section. One of the artifacts utilized must be the one indicated in the table for the particular course; the other two artifacts you may choose (from the course). For example, for NR500-NP, you must include the “Area of Interest” Power Point. In addition, you will choose two other pieces of graded work from the course, such as a discussion board posting or other paper.

3. Outcome Analysis and Planning:

1. Concept MapIn Section A, you are required to create a visual depiction via a Concept Map that demonstrates the connection of each Program Outcome to a minimum of three (3) course artifacts. The artifacts chosen must be from different courses and must represent courses with and without a practicum component.
2. Narrative AnalysisIn Section B, students must submit a scholarly reflective narrative that demonstrates how all of the artifacts submitted, and the course in which the artifacts were produced, meet each MSN program outcome.This Narrative Analysis format should use APA format, to include a cover page, running head, headings, and a reference list. Other elements, such as an APA formatted table, may also be included. Strict adherence to APA format is required. Examples of references that would support this Narrative Analysis might include a required journal reading from a course, material from a nurse practitioner professional web site to include a board of nursing site, or other peer-reviewed scholarly articles. Course textbooks may be used.The final ePortfolio will be submitted in the Capstone course, NR667, where it will be graded. You will upload your ePortfolio link to the grade book as indicated in the course. Please refer to the rubric for grading particulars.
