Purpose
Within the MSN Specialties Track, you will engage and dialog with classmates in a Collaboration Café discussion assignment. The Collaboration Café is an interactive assignment that encourages meaningful application of course concepts, discussion of nurse-practice issues, and student leadership to prompt continued conversations in order to facilitate achievement of course learning outcomes. In order for students to lead and facilitate discussion within the Collaboration Café, course instructors will take a less active role in daily posting, but will remain present to monitor the discussion for compliance and to offer clarification.
