Importance of utilizing the appropriate resources and scheduling

This week we explore the importance of utilizing the appropriate resources and scheduling. A fundamental aspect of project management is the ability to identify available resources and outside resources that may be needed for successful project management. In order to follow the implementation plan, deadlines, and financial funding, a project manager must know what physical and human resources to use. Project management requires extensive planning and use of resources in order to receive approval, educate staff members, and recieve increased approval of staff (Karakashian & Schub, 2017).

Some human resources that will be concerning to secure or manage are nursing leadership roles such as the CFO or CNO, as they are often busy but will be dependent on their approval and financial backing to move forward. Human resources and a nurse educator will also be responsible for nurse recruitment and setting up training programs and shared governance models. Another human resource is contractors to facilitate and schedule renovations and expansions. Lastly, securing a nurse informatics specialist might also be difficult as they are limited and in high demand. This role is essential in implementing acuity-based programming. Some physical resources that a project manager must secure are available time, new software systems, online resources that provide evidence-based information and guidelines, new equipment, and change management frameworks (Schub & Walsh, 2017).

I look forward to reading everyone’s post on resource management in project management, and seeing the different resources available that I may have overlooked. Thank you.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
