NRSG375 Assessment Task 3: Written assignment

Assessment Task 3: Written assignment (45%)

Discuss and analyse in more detail 2 of the discussion posts that you submitted for assessment task (AT) 2 and use contemporary literature for support. For the 2 posts that you choose, you are to discuss and analyse professional leadership in nursing in further detail. Building on your engagement from the online forum posts you will re-write and expand your responses through the application of sound written and analytical communication skills, to analyse in greater depth the major theoretical foundations of leadership and their application to nursing practice. This is to demonstrate your understanding of the contribution of sound leadership that enhances service delivery to improve health care outcomes. You must read and research widely and use further contemporary literature to support your stance. You must also include again as you did in AT2, screen shot evidence of your original entire posts and response posts in a single (1) collated word document via the Turnitin assignment drop boxes in the campus tile of the NRSG375 LEO site. This AT has a word limit of 1200 words +/- 10%.
