Doctor Nursing Practice Project I

Catalog description

The DNP project culminates in a practice immersion experience that affords the student the opportunity to integrate and synthesize information from a variety of areas and previous course work to exhibit mastery of an advanced specialty within nursing practice. Students will demonstrate synthesis of the DNP education and advanced nursing practice specialty which focuses on change that impacts healthcare outcomes either through direct or indirect care. Students will share their journey toward developing the DNP project through class discussion using a variety of communication modalities. In consultation with the DNP Project Advisor, students will select an area of specialty practice and propose a project. The end result will be a proposed project based on the principles of evidence-based practice that incorporates planning, implementation, evaluation and dissemination concepts. This will provide a foundation for continued scholarship while making significant contributions in the student's area of interest. Students must earn a grade of B or higher in this course or it will have to be repeated.
