A capstone is a high point or culminating achievement. Likewise, this capstone course is the high point of your RN-to-BSN journey and a chance for you to demonstrate the competencies you've developed throughout your program—your own culminating achievement. By integrating new knowledge from the literature into practice, via direct practicum hours spent with a patient, family, or group, you'll demonstrate proficiency and create high-quality deliverables to use in your current or future practice.

As a nurse, you conduct head-to-toe patient assessments to gather information, identify patient problems, and design interventions to deal with them. Comprehensive patient assessments lead to accurate diagnoses and safe, patient-centered interventions. The same head-to-toe assessment can be performed on a broader scale, such as a family, group, or organization. Throughout this course, you'll explore 10 closely interconnected focus areas within the context of a particular patient, family, or population health problem, as follows:

• Leadership.
• Collaboration.
• Communication.
• Change management.
• Health care policy.
• Quality.
• Patient safety.
• Health information and patient care technology.
• Coordination of care.
• Community resources
