Complete a literature review of a current or current clinical teaching approaches in emergency nursing.
1. Acquire a collection of between 10 and 20 refereed journal articles, book chapters or other relevant publications that apply to your practice area.
2. Identify the search process you used. For example, note key terms entered in a CINAHL or PROQUEST database and/or how you explored a particular teaching approach or author.
3. Organize your findings into a 15-page (excluding references and appendices) scholarly paper. Please use American Psychological Association (APA) current edition format.
4. Create categories or “group” the publications whenever possible. For example, an overarching category might be to distinguish whether the publication is theoretical (describing a philosophy, theory or model), research-based (reporting findings from quantitative or qualitative studies) or anecdotal (commenting on experiences or opinions).
5. Analyze the work that has been done to date in your area. Do not simply present or summarize the articles you choose to include. Rather, identify both what is well known in your area about strong teaching practice as well as “gaps” in existing knowledge What further educational research needs to be done?
