NR703 Week 2 Assignment: Organizational Needs Assessment<\/span><\/h1>\n

Assignment Context and Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

This assignment forms the first component of a three-part applied organizational and leadership project sequence in Chamberlain University’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program. NR703 Week 2 requires students to conduct a structured organizational needs assessment within a chosen healthcare setting, identify a practice problem from the perspective of organizational stakeholders, articulate the evidence-based practice gap, and formulate a focused PICOT question that will guide the subsequent project phases in Weeks 5 and 7. The assessment demands synthesis of evidence from the Johns Hopkins Individual Evidence Summary Tool, completion of the Practice Gap Identification Table, and adherence to APA 7th edition formatting throughout. This foundational work supports professional formation and communication skills essential to the DNP-prepared nurse’s role in leading practice change.<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of this assessment is to identify a practice problem based on an organizational needs assessment, including the identification of the practice gap and formulation of the practice question, thereby demonstrating professional leadership competencies in project management as a DNP-prepared nurse.<\/span><\/p>\n
