Yes, you will complete either a quality improvement or policy change project. This project is based on a needs assessment at your predetermined project site. Most students complete their projects at their place of employment. Others complete a project elsewhere, which will require an affiliation agreement. A needs assessment and project proposal begin in NURS 8123: Leadership, Policy, and Healthcare Systems. The project has three parts: writing of Section I and approval in NURS 8213: Translational Research for Doctor of Nursing Practice I; writing of Section II and methodology and project implementation in NURS 8223: Translational Research for Doctor of Nursing Practice II; and writing of Section III and dissemination in NURS 8263: DNP Project. The course faculty will discuss the process during the first week of the leadership course.
