Description

The purpose of this two-part paper is to develop a hypothetical DNP practicum project and explain how you will lead it.

For the assignments in NR-703, students must fabricate from experience a realistic clinical problem in a hypothetical practicum project clinical site, invent the probable gap in practice that would cause the problem, and conduct a simulated practice gap assessment in the imaginary clinical practicum project site. If possible, build this project on the work you created in NR-716, especially the evidence you collected on Johns Hopkins Table.

The purpose of Part 2 of this two-part assignment is to complete the hypothetical project by accomplishing the following on the template:

1. Use the corrective feedback from your course faculty on the Week 3 assignment to edit it and make needed
2. Create a leadership approach for the hypothetical DNP practicum project that explains the plan for applying the following specific transformational leadership skills:

• • communication in project management
  • leadership ethics
  • leading social justice change within the project environment
  • innovation through innovation
  • integrating leadership and management models
  • managing materials and human resources

This assignment will allow for the assimilation of professional leadership competencies in project management as a DNP-prepared nurse. Assignment content supports professional formation, communication, and dissemination skills relevant to the DNP-prepared nurse.

This is the second part of a 2-part assignment. The first part was submitted in Week 3 on the same template. You have received corrective feedback from your course faculty on the Week 3 assignment that you will use to correct those sections (if needed) on the template before completing the Week 7 assignment.

NOTE: Both Week 3 and Week 7 assignments should be discussed in relation to a hypothetical or simulated DNP practicum project. **

**No actual DNP practicum project will be approved for implementation until the second practicum course, NR-705 Project & Practicum II

Instructions

For the assignments in NR-703, students must simulate from experience a realistic clinical problem in a hypothetical practicum project clinical site, invent the probable gap in practice that would cause the problem, and conduct a simulated practice gap assessment in the imaginary clinical practicum project site.

In Week 7, you will add your strategies for managing the hypothetical practicum project. You will also review the feedback from your instructor from the Week 3 assignments and make needed edits or corrections in those sections of the template. In this week’s assignment, you will also construct an introduction for the completed paper and a conclusion that summarizes the total manuscript.
