instructor approval
Overview: In Milestone One, you will submit a topic proposal for instructor approval which identifies your chosen problem or issue. You will also briefly explain your interest and what you hope to gain through a review of the literature. As the first piece of your final project, the topic proposal will enable you to develop your PICO(T) question in Milestone Two and round out the introduction of your final project. A good topic proposal is engaging, identifies a specific and original topic, explains the background and significance, and establishes a purpose.

Why did you choose this topic? Explore the background and significance. What do you hope to gain by researching this topic? Analyze the relationship between research and evidence-based practice. How will your research on this topic contribute to evidence-based nursing practice?
