Management Orientation Program Proposal Discussion 2

Management Orientation Program Proposal Discussion 2

You have the opportunity to create a proposal to present to the leadership team for the orientation of new nurse managers. This project will include the creation of an orientation using leadership and management topics that will be selected to support the nurse manager as he or she transitions into the new role. This project will compile specific topics, resources and facilitators to support a new nurse manager as they get acclimated to the organization or unit. APA citations expected.

Your proposal should include:

Introductory and concluding remarks
Identify 8 specific topics to support the new nurse manager
Learning objectives for the lesson(s)
Rationale for including each topic with a synthesis of professional literature
Recommendation of internal and or external materials for each topic
Recommendation of a facilitator for each topic
Rationale listing why the materials and facilitator(s) are the most appropriate choice for that topic
Two or more scholarly resources to support the rationales
Support your discussion and opinions with facts, relevant examples from personal nursing practice.

All submissions must have a minimum of two scholarly references to support your work.

Examples of work to show mastery:

10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation – APA format

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.
