A preconference meeting is required for DNP-815A, 840A, 830A, 955A, 960A, 965A. A preconference meeting is intended for the learner and preceptor/mentor to review course- and learner-specific learning objectives: the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the learner and preceptor/mentor during this practice immersion experience. All faculty and preceptor/mentor information will be given to each party by the learner. Any course or program information requested by the preceptor/mentor will be provided by the learner. During this meeting, the learner and preceptor/mentor will discuss the course and practice immersion goals, including any projects that are to take place. The faculty will review the submitted document and must approve proposed projects at this time DNP-801 Preconference Evaluation: Individual Success Plan (ISP). The faculty will also send an introductory email to the preceptor/mentor.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment as it pertains to deliverables due in this course.
Locate and download Individual Success Plan (ISP) and Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) timeline documents in the DNP PI Workspace.
Review the DNP Program Milestones document in the DNP PI Workspace and identify which domains, competencies, and milestones apply to this course. Note: Not all courses have milestones.
Determine what practice immersion experiences you plan to seek in order to address each competency. Include how many hours you plan to set aside to meet your goals. Learners will apply concepts from each of their core courses to reflect upon, critically examine, and improve current practice and are required to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
Use the ISP to develop a personal plan for completing your practice immersion hours and how competencies will be met. Show all of the major milestones and deliverables in the timeline.
Within the ISP, ensure you identify specific deliverables which can include the following: individualized DNP practice immersion contracts; comprehensive log of practice immersion hours applied to doctoral-level learning outcomes; learner evaluations; preceptor/mentor evaluations; current and updated CV; scholarly activities; GCU DNP competency self-assessment; reflective journal; course goals and plan for how competencies and practice immersion hours will be met; faculty and preceptor/mentor approvals of course goals and documented practice immersion hours; and DPI Project milestones DNP-801 Preconference Evaluation: Individual Success Plan (ISP).

Instructions
Use this form to develop your Individual Success Plan (ISP) Individual Success Plan Student Document A Courses (1) for each course, starting in DNP-805A through graduation. An individual success plan maps out what you, the DNP Learner, needs to accomplish in order to be successful in your current course and overall program of study. You will also share this document with your mentor, preceptor, or content expert (CE) at the beginning of week one (like a pre-conference) and by the end of week eight of each course (like a post-conference except DNP-955A, 960A, and 965A it is due week 16). * Mentors are REQUIRED by DNP-815A. If you do not have a mentor in DNP 805A or DNP-810A you will still turn in your ISP’s week one and week eight and for the mentor signature you type “I do not have a mentor.” You cannot take courses after DNP-810A without a mentor.
In addition to the ISP, all DNP learners in DNP-815A, DNP-830A, DNP- 840A, DNP-955A, DNP-960A, DNP-965A, and extension courses will schedule a mid-conference between the faculty/Chair, mentor (preceptor), and learner before week five for 815A, 840A, and 830A. Week 8 will be the due date for 900 level courses as they are 16 weeks in length. This mid-conference document is located at the end of the ISP and will be uploaded into the week five dropbox Learners will type their names, and the mentor, preceptor, or CE will need to electronically sign with software that uses a displayed digital identifier or written signature.
Application-based learning assignments are listed in the specific course syllabus. Use the syllabus as a reminder for you to complete a weekly corresponding Case Log in Typhon or into Lopes tracker. It is the learner’s responsibility to enter the hours into Typhon/Lopestracker and ensure all hours are signed off before completion of the course. Faculty are not responsible to go back and approve hours later entered. Any independent study assignments in this course will require your collaboration with the course faculty and mentor, preceptor, or CE early on to establish a plan for successful completion of mutually identified and agreed upon deliverables and must relate to your current course objectives. Independent study assignments must be submitted to your instructor via the Private Forum if no dropbox is available DNP-801 Preconference Evaluation: Individual Success Plan (ISP).
For you to successfully complete and graduate from the DNP Program you must meet the following programmatic requirements: (1) completion of required practice immersion hours, (2) completion of work associated with all DNP and GCU program competencies, (3) successful defense and completion of your Direct Practice Improvement Project including signature by the Dean. DNP Learners who are deficient in hours or have a final manuscript deemed “not ready” for Dean’s review at the end of the program may require additional extension courses to meet programmatic requirements prior to Dean’s approval.
The syllabus will list the immersion hours for each course and may be different based on the curriculum. For example, DNP-815 may state 50 hours, while DNP-815A is 100 hours broken down into “Direct” or “Indirect” immersion” hours. Direct hours are completed at the project site with the mentor. DNP-801 Preconference Evaluation: Individual Success Plan (ISP) Indirect hours are used towards assignments, as the syllabus indicates. All actual hours are recorded into Typhon or Lopestracker substantively. Note that required practice hours vary from learner to learner and are determined by your MSN transcripts. Please contact your SSC for the number of practice immersion hours required to complete your DNP program. It is your responsibility to obtain this information and create a plan for your individual success.
ISP Table Requirements
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment as it pertains to deliverables due in this course:
Review the DNP Program Milestones document in the DC Network – Doctoral Program – DNP Program Materials – Folder – DPI Milestones. Please see the DNP Program Timeline in the DC Network for a quick overview.
Determine what practice experiences you plan to seek in order to address each course objective. Include the estimated number of associated practice immersion hours. Learners will apply objectives and concepts from each of their courses to reflect upon, critically examine, and improve current practice and are required to integrate scholarly readings to develop case reports that demonstrate increasingly complex and proficient practice.
Use the ISP to develop a personal plan for completing your practice immersion hours and self-assess how you will meet the GCU DNP Domains & Competencies (Appendix A) related to that course. Show all the major milestones (if applicable) and deliverables. ISPs do not earn practice hours, nor does telephone conference time, or time spent with the mentor (unless there is National Emergency). Add your pre-, mid-, and post-conference dates and times to this document to ensure you have scheduled the time properly.
The table below should address the following programmatic requirements: (1) completion of required practice immersion hours, (2) completion of work associated with all DNP and GCU program competencies, (3) successful defense, and completion of your Direct Practice Improvement Project, if applicable to the current course.
