Description: The DNP project courses produce a tangible and deliverable academic product created from a practice immersion experience, which is reviewed and evaluated by an academic committee. The final product shows evidence of the student’s competence in critical thinking by translating evidence into practice and evaluating the evidence in the practice environment aimed toward improving healthcare outcomes. This course is an extension course for those students who do not complete their projects or who do not complete their required DNP Practicum hours in the allotted program of study. This course reflects a synthesis of the student’s growth in knowledge and expertise throughout the program. NRSG 7806 focuses on project completion and practicum hours completion. Project practicum hours follow a 1:4 credit-to-clock hours ratio, which is variable per project course, at 0.5-1 credit-to-clock hours. For example, a 1 credit hour project course offers 0.5 credit-to-clock hours (1:4) for 30 practicum hours. A 2-credit hour project course offers 1 credit-to-clock hour (1:4) for 60 practicum hours. The combined practicum hours within the project courses total 240-project practicum hours.
