The NURS 523 Week 6 method, step by step

  1. Start from the need

    Define the need the RMP Outline answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.

  2. Write measurable objectives

    Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.

  3. Choose methods that fit the objectives

    Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (The references from your annotated bibliography).

  4. Plan the resources and timeline

    List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.

  5. Plan the evaluation

    Say how you will know the plan worked: the measure, the data source and the time point for each objective.

  6. Format and length

    Use the template or headings the guide gives and stay within A comprehensive outline, no length set in the guide, in current APA.

A topic angle that works

Build the outline on the headings the final draft requires (abstract, introduction, body with headings, recommendations, conclusions) and write each point as a full statement with its supporting source. The outline should let a reader predict the paper's argument.
