NURS 8002 - Foundations and Essentials for the Doctor of Nursing Practice

5 credits

Students in this course are introduced to Walden University and engage in course assessments focused on the practical application of scholarly writing, critical-thinking skills, and the requirements for successful participation in an online curriculum. Students explore the role of the DNP, as a member of communities of practice, using intra- and interdisciplinary collaboration and evidence to identify needed practice changes that will impact social change and the social determinants of health. Students also explore relevant professional standards and the ethics of doctoral-level nursing practice and the process of the DNP Practicum and Project.
