NUR 7801 - DNP Practicum l

Hours: 3-7

This course is the first in a series of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) practicum courses.

Students demonstrate proficiency in connecting knowledge from didactic courses to integrate critical analysis and synthesis of scientific evidence for application to practice. This includes problem identification, synthesis of the literature and evidence, and construction of a strategy to address the problem. The precepted experience promotes collaboration between the student, practicum faculty, and preceptor, offering opportunities to synthesize learning, complete practicum hours, and secure acceptance of the DNP scholarly project proposal.
