NURS 8410 Week 1: Developing a Focus in Your Specialty Area
As a nurse and a doctoral student, you have already developed a set of
skills and the expertise that have enabled you to contribute to the nursing
profession and to those you serve. Yet, your call to advanced practice
warrants a deeper understanding of issues and approaches, particularly in
your area of specialty practice. To practice at the highest level, you must be
able to analyze a health care problem using reasoning, theory, research,
and experience.
As you move forward in this course, you will create an Evidence-Based
Practice (EBP) Project, in which you will evaluate the scientific foundations
of a health care issue in your specialty area, apply effective practices,
identify and evaluate outcomes, and develop new practice guidelines. This
week, you will become familiar with the requirements of the EBP Project,
which will be completed as part of your practicum experience. To help you
prepare for your practicum, this week you reflect on your own potential for
professional growth and create learning objectives to guide your
experience. The EBP Project must be completed during this practicum
experience and is not the same as your DNP project that you are
developing with the guidance of your DNP faculty chair and committee in
the mentoring courses. NURS 8410 Week 1: Developing a Focus in Your
