In this third field experience course, students continue to focus on the systematic translation of nursing science into practice, which provides the basis for the DNP project. Students investigate clinical problems and refine clinical translational capabilities within the context of the broader health care system. Clinical learning is directed toward systematic application of knowledge and scientific discovery in resolving new or persistent problems affecting the safety and quality of patient care. Mentored clinical application of evidence-based knowledge and skills, as well as independent investigation and evaluation of outcomes, support knowledge acquisition and, integration of the DNP role into the complex circumstances of contemporary nursing practice. Leadership, consultation, advocacy, fiscal accountability, and interdisciplinary collaboration serve as core competencies to effect organizational change. Requires 120 Clinical hours with a minimum of 60 hours of direct care. A minimum grade of B or better is necessary to successfully complete this course.
