Now you will synthesize those reflections, plus any other insights into a paper articulating your RN to BSN educational journey. You will use your module Journal entries as well as examples from other RN BSN courses to construct the Synthesis paper.ObjectivesSynthesis Paper in a reflective activity comprised of your experience in the RN BSN program.You will address your experiences before the RN BSN program, you as a lifelong learner, you in the continuum of novice to expert in the professional nursing role, an account of your role transition to a professional nurse, and an evaluation of the program.The Synthesis Paper will reflect your understanding and use of APA format and scholarly writing.The following rubric will be used to grade the Synthesis Paper. The paper has 6 sections:IntroductionBefore RN-BSN ProgramLifelong LearningNovice to ExpertSynthesis of Role Transition to Professional NursingEvaluationThe paper must have title page, reference page, plus no more than 4 pages that address the 6 sections of the paper outlined in the grading rubric.So with the title page, 4 pages for the body of the paper, and the reference page, the Synthesis Paper must not be more than 6 total pages using 12-point Times Roman font.The first 2 grading criteria noted in the rubric below apply to all sections of the paper.

How healthy is your workplace?You may think your current organization operates seamlessly, or you may feel it has many issues. You may experience or even observe things that give you pause. Yet, much as you wouldnt try to determine the health of a patient through mere observation, you should not attempt to gauge the health of your work environment based on observation and opinion. Often, there are issues you perceive as problems that others do not; similarly, issues may run much deeper than leadership recognizes.There are many factors and measures that may impact organizational health. Among these is civility. While an organization can institute policies designed to promote such things as civility, how can it be sure these are managed effectively? In this Discussion, you will examine the use of tools in measuring workplace civility.To Prepare:Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).Review and complete the Work Environment Assessment Template in the Resources.By Day 3 of Week 7Post a brief description of the results of your Work Environment Assessment. Based on the results, how civil is your workplace? Explain why your workplace is or is not civil. Then, describe a situation where you have experienced incivility in the workplace. How was this addressed? Be specific and provide examples.
