The DNP project courses produce a tangible and deliverable academic product created from a practice immersion experience, which is reviewed and evaluated by an academic committee. The final product shows evidence of the student's competence in critical thinking by translating evidence into practice and evaluating the evidence in the practice environment aimed toward improving healthcare outcomes. This course is the fifth of five courses (NRSG 7801 to NRSG 7805) and reflects a synthesis of the student's growth in knowledge and expertise throughout the program. NRSG 7805 focuses on project results, discussion, conclusions, recommendations, project evaluation, and dissemination. Project practicum hours follow a 1:4 credit-to-clock hours ratio, which is variable per project course, at 0.5-1 credit-to-clock hours. For example, a 1 credit hour project course offers 0.5 credit-to-clock hours (1:4) for 30 practicum hours. A 2-credit hour project course offers 1 credit-to-clock hour (1:4) for 60 practicum hours. The combined practicum hours within the project courses total 240-project practicum hours.
