NURS-FPX4010 asks BSN FlexPath students to demonstrate leadership and interprofessional collaboration skills through four linked assessments — a reflection, an interview-based issue identification, a written plan proposal, and a stakeholder presentation. Each assessment builds on the previous one, so falling behind early in the sequence makes the later assessments harder to complete well. This guide breaks down what each assessment actually requires and how academic support for NURS-FPX4010 fits into a course that moves at your own pace but still has real competency standards to meet.
Course Overview
This course centers on the role of the BSN-prepared nurse as a collaborative leader within interprofessional healthcare teams. Rather than testing theory in isolation, NURS-FPX4010 asks you to identify a real or realistic interdisciplinary issue in a practice setting, propose a structured plan to address it, and communicate that plan to stakeholders — mirroring the actual workflow of nursing leadership in practice.
Key Assessments
-
1Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video
A recorded reflection on your own collaboration and leadership style, typically referencing a specific interprofessional interaction. Graded on self-awareness, use of leadership theory, and clarity of delivery — not polish or production value.
-
2Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification
Requires conducting (or simulating) an interview with a healthcare professional to identify a genuine interdisciplinary issue affecting patient care or team function, then framing that issue with supporting evidence.
-
3Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal
Builds directly on Assessment 2 — you propose a structured, evidence-based plan to resolve the identified issue, including a change theory framework, anticipated barriers, and measurable outcomes.
-
4Stakeholder Presentation
A presentation (typically slides with narrated audio) summarizing the plan proposal for a stakeholder audience — emphasizing clear communication, not just clinical accuracy.
How We Help With NURS-FPX4010
- Structuring the leadership reflection around a real leadership theory framework (transformational, servant leadership, etc.)
- Identifying a genuinely scorable interdisciplinary issue for Assessment 2 — not just a topic, but one with enough depth to support a full plan
- Building the Assessment 3 plan proposal around a recognized change model (Lewin's, Kotter's) tied to measurable outcomes
- Scripting and structuring the Assessment 4 stakeholder presentation for clarity under a strict slide/time limit
- APA 7 formatting and scholarly source integration across all four assessments
Common Challenges in This Course
Most students lose points on Assessment 2 by selecting an issue that's too broad or too personal-opinion-based to support with evidence — the issue needs to be specific enough that Assessment 3's plan can directly address it. On Assessment 3, a frequent mistake is proposing a plan without grounding it in a named change management framework, which most rubrics specifically require. On Assessment 4, time/slide limits are strict, so the presentation often needs heavy editing down from the Assessment 3 paper rather than just summarizing it.

NURS-FPX4010 FAQ
Yes — each one builds directly on the prior assessment's content (the issue from Assessment 2 carries into Assessment 3 and 4), so they can't be completed out of sequence.
No — most rubrics grade the content (self-awareness, theory application) over production quality. A clear, audible recording is sufficient.
It can be based on a realistic scenario rather than a real interview, but it needs enough specific detail to support a credible plan proposal in Assessment 3.
Most rubrics accept any recognized framework (Lewin's Change Theory, Kotter's 8-Step Model) as long as it's applied consistently and cited properly.
Most sections cap it at a specific slide count with narrated audio — check your course shell for the exact limit, since it varies slightly by section.
