NURS 887 - Doctor of Nursing Practice III—DNP Project

6 Credit(s)

The final DNP project documents advanced practice synthesis and scholarship. The theme that links the focus of this scholarly DNP project is the use of evidence to improve either practice or health outcomes for a target population. This DNP project may include comprehensive case studies, population-based and systems change projects, program design and evaluation, translation of evidence based research into practice, action research, a quality improvement or a research (utilization) study. The DNP project is individualized to the career focus of the DNP student. The DNP project can be conducted by an individual student, or by a group of students working in collaboration. Collaborative projects must demonstrate individual accomplishments of DNP goals or (outcome) competencies. IRB approval, if necessary, must be secured prior to project implementation.
