DNP Essentials

Which DNP Essentials could be demonstrated in your scholarly project?

The DNP programs are specially designed to uplift the students' practice knowledge and system leadership skills. Implementing new knowledge is necessary for continuous improvement (Riner, 2015). The DNP degree is a terminal degree in nursing practice and prepares the students to be translational leaders to implement innovations to practice settings. The capstone DNP project is an evidence-based practice implementation that will improve patient outcomes. The project outcome can potentially influence the policies at the organizational and system-level (Diegel-Vaceka, & Yonkaitis,2022).

The DNP project is the summative evaluation of all the essential skills learned during this program. My scholarly project demonstrates important DNP essentials, such as scientific underpinnings and organizational and system leadership to improve the nation’s health and advanced nursing practice. The DNP student also used analytical methods, information technology, and interpersonal collaboration for improving patient care and healthcare advocacy skills. The DNP student appreciated the benefits of building up the essential skills throughout the course, which empowered her to build up the final DNP project.
