DNP 960 Topic 1 Individual Success Plan GCU

Planning is the key to successful completion of the Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project. The Individual Success Plan (ISP) assignment in this course requires your collaboration with your chair early on to establish a plan for successful completion of mutually identified and agreed upon specific deliverables for your programmatic requirements. Programmatic requirements are: (1) completion of required practice immersion hours, (2) completion of work associated with program competencies, and (3) work associated toward completion of your Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment as it pertains to deliverables due in this course:

• Locate and download “Individual Success Plan” (ISP) document in the DC Network.
• Review the “DNP Program Milestones” document and identify which milestones apply to this course. Note: Not all courses have milestones.
• Determine what practice experiences you plan to seek in order to address each competency. Include how many hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals. Learners will apply concepts from each of their core courses to reflect upon, critically examine, and improve current practice and are required to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
• Use the Individual Success Plan to develop a personal plan for completing your practice hours and how competencies will be met. Show all of the major milestones and deliverables.
• Within the Individual Success Plan, ensure you identify specific deliverables which can include the following: individualized DNP practice immersion contracts; comprehensive clinical log of hours applied to doctoral level learning outcomes; learner evaluations; mentor evaluations; current and updated CV; scholarly activities; GCU DNP competency self-assessment; reflective journal; course goals and plan for how competencies and practice immersion hours will be met; faculty and mentor approvals of course goals and documented practice immersion hours; and DPI Project milestones.
• Identify the specific deliverables you will complete throughout this course from those defined above or others negotiated with your faculty. You need to turn in a new Individual Success Plan for each DNP course.
• Identify the remaining deliverables you will complete in the upcoming courses.
• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
