Scholarly Project II

Students will conduct an evidence-based practice project to improve practice and patient outcomes. The project will serve as a basis for future projects. Projects are individualized according to the student's areas of interest, specialty, or expertise and should demonstrate assimilation of knowledge at a doctoral level. Project foci may include clinical issues, educational topics, health policy initiatives, informatics, and public health. For BSN to DNP students, two semesters of coursework allow the student the span of time to develop and carry out this project. The project culminates in an oral defense and a publishable paper.
