Directions and Grading Criteria

Complete an Integrative Review Paper of your proposed DNP project, along with conclusion and further recommendations. You must present details of the entire proposed DNP project, including evidence of the related practice problem from a global, national, and site perspective, your proposed evidence-based intervention, with expected outcomes. For example, you will be able to use parts of your project proposal completed in NR702, the literature synthesis completed in NR705, and the case study completed in NR707, as long as you integrate comments provided by your professor when it was graded. The page limit relates to the body of the paper only and does not include the cover sheet, reference list, or appendices. The paper must be complete and polished and reflect doctoral-level writing skills. The grading rubric should be reviewed carefully as you prepare the paper to ensure that all required elements are included.
