What NURS 619 Week 5 Curriculum Plan Part III asks for
In Part III you create the curriculum design for your identified school of nursing. It is due in Module/Week 5 with a presentation and two articles, and is worth 100 points.
Where it fits in NURS 619
In the published schedule, Curriculum Plan Part III is one of 10 graded written assignments in NURS 619. It follows Week 4 Curriculum Plan Part II and comes before Week 6 Curriculum Plan Part IV.
How NURS 619 Week 5 Curriculum Plan Part III is graded
Liberty grades Curriculum Plan Part III with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in NURS 619 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 619 Week 5 method, step by step
Read this part against the whole
Curriculum Plan Part III is one piece of a larger submission. Read the instructions for every part before you write this one, so the choices you make now (topic, question, population) still work when the later parts arrive.
Lock the topic and the question early
Commit to one problem and one answerable question. In NURS 619, the parts that follow depend on that question, so time spent sharpening it here is saved later.
Write to the headings the part names
Use the headings in the part's instructions as your section headings, in the same order. Graders check for each element, and a missing heading is the easiest way to lose points.
Support every claim with current evidence
Cite as you write (Part of the plan's 7 to 10 peer-reviewed references from the last 5 years). Prefer peer-reviewed sources from the last five years and say what each one contributes; a citation that only decorates a sentence adds little.
Keep the draft consistent with earlier parts
Reuse the same terms, population and question you used before, and fix anything your instructor flagged in feedback on the previous part. Graders notice when a proposal changes its question halfway through.
Check length and APA before submitting
Check the part against its share of the total length (Part of a 7 to 10-page curriculum plan) and apply current APA throughout. A part that runs far over its share usually contains material that belongs in a later section.
A structure for NURS 619 Week 5 Curriculum Plan Part III
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Design approach | The organizing framework (concept-based, systems, lifespan) and why. | ~200 words |
| Sequence of courses | The courses by term, with prerequisites and progression. | ~280 words |
| Threads and concepts | Concepts that run through the program and where they appear. | ~200 words |
| Alignment | How the design delivers the Part II outcomes. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
A table of courses by semester, with the concepts each course develops, communicates the design better than paragraphs. Then explain the logic: why fundamentals come before medical-surgical care, where community health sits, and how the concepts spiral.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The curriculum is concept-based, organized around twelve concepts such as perfusion, safety and clinical judgment that recur at increasing complexity.1 In the first semester students meet perfusion in a stable adult; by the fourth they manage it in a patient in shock, which builds the transfer of learning that recent studies associate with concept-based curricula.2 Every course lists the program outcomes it advances, so the design delivers Part II rather than standing beside it.3
- Names the design approach.
- Shows how a concept grows across the program with evidence.
- Links the design back to the outcomes.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 619 Week 5
- A course list with no organizing logic.
- No connection to Part II outcomes.
- Ignoring accreditation expectations.
