APN Project Paper (30% of final grade)
This assignment will be an INDIVIDUAL project
APN Clinical Intervention Project
Purpose: To design an APN intervention that is consistent with the advanced practice role. Most projects
will include the design of a major clinical program. This program can be an educational program or
clinical service delivery project. For example, students may design such things including but not limited to
a program for the primary care of patients with diabetes, a clinic program for educating parents and
children about asthma, a weight loss program for adults including clinical and educational strategies, design
for a new rural clinic, or development of an NP independent practice. The program must be more
substantial than an intervention that includes, for example, only a brochure. Typically, you will not
implement the project but you will develop a detailed proposal to do so.
This individual project is considered a major project. As such, it is expected that the
project paper will be a minimum of 15-20 pages not including title page, reference page
and appendices. A minimum of 12 scholarly references are required.
*Note: Results of a clinical consultation and contact information of those consulted
are required to be submitted. Please consult with the faculty to develop the plan for
this. This will typically require accessing a clinical site.
APA format is required with a professional project paper binding or notebook (Include ALL
relevant materials in an appendix). APA errors and grammar/spelling errors will receive
deductions over and above component scoring. A paper that is judged by the faculty as very
poorly written (such things as incomplete sentences, multiple subject/verb errors, unclear
wording, multiple spelling errors, and/or combination of these errors) may be returned for
revision with an automatic deduction of 15 points that cannot be redeemed. Have someone
proof read the paper after you have proof read—it can difficult to recognize your own errors.
