NSG7210 Advanced Nursing Field
Week 5 Project
Midterm Evaluation of Clinical Logs
You will submit clinical logs and narratives this week. Clinical logs will be recorded in CORE, and narratives will be submitted to week 5 project.
The purpose of these logs is to provide validation of clinical outcomes and supervision of professional development.
Your logs should include the following two parts:
Successful completion of CORE hours, with satisfactory explanation of each daily activity. Satisfactory midterm evaluation by mentor.
A written narrative covering the following items:
Weekly reflection summary providing an overview of clinical or scholarly activities during the reporting time period (Weeks 1–5).
Commentary and evidence (examples) of progress toward achieving specific course objectives.
Reflections that include thoughts, feelings, and correlation to the South University Five Pillars of Nursing (professionalism, critical thinking, holism, communication, and caring) on the overall experience and correlate to The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice.

Note: Each week, your reflection should be a 1- to 2-page summary of the week’s activities. This should result in about 6–10 pages of the overall reflection summary for week 5.
Document all the hours accumulated up to this point in your clinical logs. In order to stay current, update the logs after every clinical day. You will also document your participation in activities for achieving the course objectives. These activities can include, but are not limited to, workshops (you may include brochures or participation certificates) and business or professional meetings (you may include agendas and minutes, as appropriate).
Logs do not require a standard APA format but should reflect the ability to write in a scholarly, succinct, and professional manner. You should have a title page and list any references in APA if you choose to include them.
Ensure that your preceptor submits your evaluation electronically through CORE.
Your clinical logs and narratives will be placed in your portfolio at the end of the course.
