DNP Project/Practice Immersion Blog I

 

The DNP Residency is considered a key component of the Doctor of Nursing Practice educational program that combines clinical practicum experiences with scholarly activities to provide in-depth learning for students. Practice immersion experience provides the opportunity for students to synthesize and apply knowledge acquired across the program of study by practicing in the student’s area of expertise at a greater level of competence, as well as providing the context in which the DNP quality improvement project is implemented. The DNP Project/Practice Immersion Blog is intended to be a reflection of the DNP project and clinical practicum experiences.

Initial Post (400 words)

It is important that you post thoughtful messages that help move the conversation forward. Class discussion is a significant part of an online course and your participation in discussions is how you “participate” in class.

 

Your posts should demonstrate that you are knowledgeable regarding the topic. It is important that you apply the question at hand. You should do more than merely repeat-back what the text says; you should engage with the material by analyzing and interpreting it. Your posts should be grammatically correct and provide a thoughtful response. Your post should also contain at least one reference that backs up your point of view. The reference can be from your textbook or from a referred journal.
