Send the exact assignment or rubric from your classroom and a custom sample written to it lands in 24 to 48 hours, the first one free. NU802 is Purdue Global’s DNP Project I course. It centers on the first of three DNP project courses, in which the student develops a project proposal, obtains approval from the practice site and presents the proposal, from the needs assessment and evidence synthesis to the design, data plan, ethics determination, budget and defense.

What NU802 is really about
NU802 opens the project sequence of the revised Purdue Global DNP, taken right after the quality improvement course. The catalog describes developing the DNP project proposal, obtaining approval to implement it at the approved practice site and presenting the proposal, applying evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes for a specific population. The course carries 100 to 200 supervised practice hours, which may be applied to the project, and those hours are documented and confirmed separately.
Most of the written work in NU802 builds sections of one proposal, so later units depend on earlier ones. A needs assessment sets the problem, an evidence synthesis supports the intervention, a methods section turns the aim into a design, and the ethics, budget and data plans show that the site can approve it. Faculty and practice mentors read for consistency: the aim, measures and figures in the defense should match those in every earlier section. Papers that use the site's own data and name the people who must agree tend to move through approval faster than polished proposals written in general terms.
What NU802’s assessments ask for
NU802 commonly opens with a board post introducing the project, site and mentor, then asks for a site needs assessment and an evidence synthesis for the intervention. Middle units usually cover the project design and methods, a seminar on the mentor relationship, a data collection plan with instruments and an ethics determination for quality improvement. Later units tend to ask for a budget and resource plan, the proposal presentation with speaker notes and a final summary of the approved proposal.
Where students lose points in NU802
The commonest loss is a proposal whose sections do not agree, such as an aim in the methods that differs from the aim in the defense. Second is an evidence synthesis that summarizes studies one by one without grading them or saying what they mean together for the intervention. Third is a data plan that names measures but not how each will be collected, by whom and how often. Ethics sections also lose points when they assume a project is quality improvement without explaining why.

Using a NU802 sample the right way
Read a sample for how one section feeds the next. In the evidence synthesis, find the conclusion the methods rely on; in the data plan, find how a measure from the charter becomes a data field; in the defense, find how a committee's likely question is answered in advance. Those links are where most proposal points are earned.
How these samples are written
Every sample in this binder is written the way the custom ones are: the rubric decoded row by row, a subject-matched writer drafting to the top band, formatting checked line by line. Purdue Global revises courses; a custom request is always written to the rubric in YOUR classroom, never from a stale template.
NU802 questions, answered
Do the NU802 samples include practice hours?
No. NU802 requires 100 to 200 supervised practice hours, and logging and confirming them is the student's own work with the practice mentor. The samples cover written assignments only.
Does NU802 need a finished proposal?
Yes. By the end of the course the proposal should be approved by the practice site and presented, so that implementation can begin in NU804.
Do I need IRB approval in NU802?
Most DNP projects are quality improvement and go through a determination by the site, the university or both. The proposal should explain why the project qualifies and follow whichever review the site and Purdue Global require.
