DNP Scholarly Project: Project Implementation

Catalog description

The DNP Scholarly Project demonstrates an in-depth knowledge of the student's area of expertise in nursing practice. The DNP Scholarly Project is a synthesis of the student's work which provides a faculty-supervised opportunity for demonstration of the use of evidence to improve either practice or patient outcomes. The project forms the basis for future practice scholarship. This course combines 1 SH of didactic and scheduled on-line seminars throughout the semester with 1 SH (75 clock hours) of practicum experience. Project implementation is the focus of the practicum experience. Project management guidance is provided through on-line seminar sessions, in concert with Faculty Directors, and through communication with the student and external mentor. Students are expected to have a DNP Scholarly Project faculty director, an external member and an approved and willing project site in place prior to course entry.
