The BUSI 344 Week 7 method, step by step
Turn the instructions into an outline
Paste the Research Project Final Document instructions and rubric into a document and turn every required element into a heading. In BUSI 344 the rubric is the grading contract, so the outline should mirror it before you write a sentence.
Narrow the topic until it fits the length
Size the topic to the length (4,500 to 6,000 words). A focused question about one population, policy or problem gives you room to analyze; a broad survey leaves room only to describe.
Collect sources before drafting
Find the sources first: The group's peer-reviewed sources. Use the Jerry Falwell Library databases, filter to peer-reviewed, and keep a table of author, year, design and finding so the paper is built from evidence instead of padded with it later.
Write a thesis that the sections prove
Draft the thesis before the body. A BUSI 344 paper reads as organized when each heading answers part of the thesis, and as a list of facts when it does not.
Draft section by section, analysis first
Write each section to answer its rubric row, then add the analysis: what the evidence means, where sources disagree, and what follows for practice. Description supports the analysis; it cannot replace it.
Format and check against the rubric
Apply current APA (title page, running format, headings, in-text citations matched to the reference list) and then read the paper once against the rubric, row by row, before you submit.

Three actions follow for hospital HR leaders. First, fund a year-long nurse residency, because first-year turnover is the most expensive and the most preventable.1 Second, give units self-scheduling within staffing limits, which experienced nurses consistently value. Third, train nurse managers, since most turnover research identifies the immediate supervisor as a leading reason nurses leave.2
