Credits: (1)

Prerequisites: NURS 804
The DNP Final Project is derived from the practice immersion experience and demonstrates the student’s longitudinal attainment of competencies in order to impact healthcare transformation through scholarship, leadership, and teamwork skills. Students will propose and implement a scholarly work that aims to improve clinical practice in the student’s specialty area and within the guidelines in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Advanced-Level Nursing Education . The key elements of the scholarly work include problem identification; a search, analysis, and synthesis of the literature and evidence; translating evidence to construct a strategy or method to address a problem; designing a plan for implementation and actual implementation when possible, and an evaluation of the outcomes, process, and/or experience. Institutional Review Board approval for projects will be secured prior to implementation.
