Leadership and Management in Nursing
Final Paper
Please use the grading rubric to create an outline of your assignment. Each section of the rubric should be a section of your final paper and could become the headings. Your assignment will be graded based on each element of the rubric. Compare each section of your paper with the rubric to ensure all elements are covered.
Then, include an introduction and conclusion to tie the paper together. If you have any questions regarding the assignment please contact your instructor using the Course Help forum.
Write a 9-10 page paper in APA format derived from the outline you presented in Assignment One. Compile the paper using the outline and information in the previous assignments while maintaining APA format. Expand on your planned change based on the outline and devise an implementation plan. Address the following points:
? The change you wish to initiate
? The rationale for the change
? The audience you need to convince
? The benefits to the institution
? The group to lead the initiative—why these members?
? The proposed timeline
? Measures of success
Include at least 5 scholarly references
