Sample Ebp Proposal

The student’s plans for the project include principles of online education that enhance student learning (Conrad, & Donaldson, 2011). These include course web page design maneuverability and ease in accessing information and resources, curriculum design that promotes student learning communities and engagement, use of technology to enhance learning, and outcome measures reflective of achievement of skills, concepts, and content in nursing education (Vai, & Sosulski, 2011).

This evidence-based project addresses the lack of, and the need and desire for the student’s current educational institution to provide an accredited online RN to BSN curriculum to meet the community of learners that wish to progress to professional nursing practice by obtaining a BSN degree via an online format, and society in general.

Problem Statement

The problem addressed in this EBP proposal is that the university does not have a fully online RN to BSN program resulting in low attendance and contributing to a decrease in the number of BSN students in the community.

Possible Solutions and Interventions

Qualitative research points to some important considerations paramount to designing online nursing education that meets the technological and knowledge demands of RN to BSN learners (Smith, 2010). First, removing barriers to completion degrees improves enrollment and successful completion of RN to BSN programs (Meggison, 2008): second, educators and developers awareness of online learner styles and online course pedagogy (Brannagan, & Oriol, 2014) and third, adequate preparation of faculty to teach online (Smith,
