NURS 5730 Doctor of Nursing Practice Practicum & Seminar in NP Practice III
NURS5730 is the final course 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 this course, 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. This semester, emphasis is placed on expanding leadership and communication skills to improve healthcare outcomes, optimize the function of interprofessional teams to improve care outcomes. The didactic focus is on pain, palliative care, and communicating difficult medical information and complex clinical case reviews will be used to expand critical thinking, interprofessional communication and decision making.
