Minimum of 250 words with at least 1 peer review reference in 7th edition apa style

 The sample size of a study can be problematic if it is too small or too large. Explain why this is the case.  

 It is one of the most clichés of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only constant changes. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.

As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
  • This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
• Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.

The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):

Change Implementation and Management Plan

Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides with a video that presents a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.

Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.

Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:

• An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
• A description of the change being proposed
• Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
• Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
• Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
• Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
• A plan for communicating the change you propose
• A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend addressing the risks anticipated by the change you propose.

 Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 or 6 slides with a video that presents a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose. 

• Your presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length
• Be creative and include a video of you giving the presentation with the slides.

MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES

You have identified your health problem as well as your prospective funding source; in addition, you have outlined your project concept. The next step in the process will be to determine how much you will need to carry out your project, i.e., determine your project budget. This entails not only delineating a “bottom line” but specifically how funds will be used line by line, i.e., budget line items.

Go to this sample budget and budget narrative, an addendum to your budget in which you essentially justify each of your line items.

Some funders provide budget detail sheets that you can use to create your budget:

Example 1.

Example 2.

Please submit your project budget and budget narrative at the conclusion of this module.

Length: The SLP assignment should be 2 pages long (double-spaced).
