NURS 5710 Doctor of Nursing Practice Practicum & Seminar in NP Practice I
NURS5710 is the first in a series of three DNP clinical courses built on the scientific, theoretical and clinical foundations presented during the first two years of the curriculum. By the end of the 3rd course, students will be able 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 this course students will learn to integrate and synthesize knowledge, scholarly reading, educational offerings and clinical experiences to develop an evidence-based review specific to an individual patient. Emphasis is placed on the continuing development of critical thinking and decision-making skills essential to individualizing treatment plans/interventions with the goal of optimizing patient outcomes.
