This is a precepted experience with the student, the practicum faculty, and the preceptor working together to provide opportunities for demonstration of synthesis of learning and completion of the DNP scholarly project. In this experience, reflective journals are used so that students reflect on their prior learning as they continue to develop DNP level skills in evidence-based practice and translation of evidence to practice.
