NGR 7855C Evidence-Based Practice Development for DNP

Fall 2021

I look forward to meeting each of you "virtually" this semester. This is a core course in the DNP curriculum, so, all DNP students in various tracks are enrolled: post-MSN Nurse Executives, post-MSN Advanced Practice Nursing Students and BSN to DNP students. The added value of doctoral study is developing networks, associations and collaborations with your faculty and peers. Since there are students from all tracks there will be certain readings that pertain more to Nurse Practitioner students and other that pertain more to Nurse Executives, these are outlined in the course. Please complete the readings based on your program track. The purpose of this course is to help you explore DNP Project topics, help build foundational skills needed to complete a scholarly DNP project, and complete the College of Graduate Studies modules required for graduation related to Ethics and the Responsible Conduct of Research. You will start percolating ideas for your DNP project, asking clinical questions, surveying the literature, and sharing your work with your peers and me! You are NOT expected to come out of this course with a finalized DNP project idea. However, as you continue to explore your topic of interest, your ideas may mature into a feasible project, especially as you progress through your other DNP core courses. On the other hand, your final DNP project may look very different from the topic of interest you focus on in this course and that is OK! This course will lay a foundation and help build the skills you will need to complete your scholarly DNP Project. To get started in the course please see the links below.
