NURS 5710 Doctor of Nursing Practice Practicum & Seminar in NP Practice I
This is the first in a series of three DNP clinical courses built upon the scientific, theoretical and clinical foundations taught during the first two years of the curriculum. By the end of the year, students will be prepared to apply standards of practice and evidence-based research findings to the care of increasingly complex patients, populations and systems leading to improved practice and health care delivery. In NURS 5710, students will integrate and synthesize knowledge, scholarly reading, educational offerings and clinical experiences to develop an evidence-based review specific to an individual patient. Emphasis will be placed on the continuing development of critical thinking and decision making skills necessary to individualize treatment plans and interventions to optimize patient outcomes.
