Translate knowledge into action with activities designed to jump-start and propel you through your DNP Project
This acclaimed workbook delivers an organized, systematic roadmap for the development, implementation, evaluation, and completion of the DNP Project. Designed by two nurse educators motivated by their own frustrating DNP experiences to help the next generation of students, it consists of a collection of lessons guiding readers, step-by-step, through the entire DNP Project process. Anchored in a real-world context with more than 100 learning activities, the resource promotes active learning and delivers practical tips and advice for every stage of the project. The improved second edition maps content to the new AACN essentials, reorganizes lessons for ease of use, weaves student project examples throughout chapters, adds new tables for quick reference, and offers additional supplemental content for students and faculty alike.
The workbook begins with fundamental, knowledge-based information and then addresses the development of the DNP Project team, the feasibility of project ideas, and the elements required to develop, implement, evaluate, disseminate, and complete the project. It provides a variety of in-depth examples from actual projects to document the development of ideas and a logical, critical thinking process. The format of individual lessons enables readers to complete them in the order that best mirrors the project requirements at all schools. Chapters begin with learning objectives and conclude with a concept map to summarize lessons learned. Also included are forms to help readers organize and document ideas, communicate with stakeholders, and track their progress.
