The DNP 810 DNP Project & Practicum II requires students to complete a DNP Project in which the DNP Student synthesizes the competencies within The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (The Essentials) as an outcome measure of end-of-program student performance. The DNP 810 DNP Project & Practicum II is distinguished from other forms or levels of education by completing a specific project that demonstrates a synthesis of the student’s work and prepares the student for future scholarship or leadership in the field.
