In the published schedule, SPGP Topic Selection is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 625. It follows Week 4 Blog 2 and comes before Week 6 SPGP Outline and Annotated Bibliography.
How NURS 625 Week 5 SPGP Topic Selection is graded
Liberty grades SPGP Topic Selection with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 60 points in the published guide. That is about 6% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in NURS 625 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 625 Week 5 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Read the whole project brief before this stage. Knowing where SPGP Topic Selection leads lets you collect the right information now.
Choose a subject you can research
Pick a real organization, product or setting with enough public information to support every stage. A subject that runs out of data halfway through is hard to recover.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Use the framework from Nursing Administration III: Management of Resources that this stage is built on, named and applied step by step to your subject.
Support with sources
Back the analysis with credible sources (2 to 3 peer-reviewed references from the last 5 years): company filings, industry data, peer-reviewed research.
Format, length and teamwork
Stay within 2 to 3 pages and format in current APA. If the stage is a group deliverable, agree on who writes which section early and edit for one voice at the end.
A structure for NURS 625 Week 5 SPGP Topic Selection
Word targets are planning numbers for about 700 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | The subject and what this stage covers. | ~90 words |
| Stage questions | Each question in the instructions, answered with specifics. | ~360 words |
| Framework applied | The course model worked through on the subject. | ~160 words |
| Implications | What this stage means for the next ones. | ~90 words |
A topic angle that works
Pick a topic with a measurable operational goal, such as reducing agency nurse spending by 20 percent, cutting supply waste in the operating room, or lowering first-year nurse turnover. State the goal, why it matters and why the group chose it.
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.
Our group will develop a strategic plan to reduce first-year registered nurse turnover at a 300-bed community hospital from 28 percent to 18 percent within two years.1 Turnover in the first year is costly, with recent estimates placing the cost of replacing one nurse in the tens of thousands of dollars, and it weakens staffing on the units that can least afford it.2 The topic fits human resources management and gives the plan a clear, measurable operational goal.3
- States the goal with numbers and a time frame.
- Shows why the topic matters with evidence.
- Ties the topic to the assignment's categories.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 625 Week 5
- A topic outside fiscal, materials or human resources management.
- No measurable goal.
- Fewer than two recent references.

- Sources: 2 to 3 peer-reviewed references from the last 5 years
