NURS 8701: Doctor of Nursing Practice | Module 3

In this module, you review the requirements of your DNP Project Proposal. You may post any questions that arise about the DNP Project to the Q & A Discussion Forum. This module also provides you with submission instructions for your DNP Project Proposal.

Learning Objectives

This required assignment fulfills the second Course Outcome:

• Produce approved DNP Project documents

Assignment: DNP Project Proposal

The DNP Project Proposal (20–35 pages, plus references) is a detailed plan for carrying out the DNP Project. The Proposal builds on the approved Premise and will be presented to the DNP Project Committee in written form and orally via phone conference. The Project Proposal includes the first three sections of the DNP Project.

Review the DNP Project Overview, DNP Project Checklist, DNP Project Minimum Standards Rubric, and other resources available on the DNP page on the Walden Doctoral Capstone website for complete instructions and post any questions or concerns you have for your Project Chair to the Q & A Discussion Forum.

ORDER INSTRUCTIONS-COMPLIANT NURSING PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
