NURS 901 - EBP Project: Systems Thinking 1

3 Credits

This course is the first of three systems thinking courses and provides the tools for the doctorally prepared nurse to evaluate, translate, and integrate published research findings into clinical practice. Students will be introduced to the concepts and competencies related to translational research and systems thinking aiding their ability to transform clinical issues into answerable questions. Students will identify factors that contribute to outcomes and search the literature for evidence-based strategies and best practices to address system-based problems and improve outcomes. Students will identify an issue and plan an evidence-informed project which will be implemented in the second systems thinking course. Hours spent in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the DNP project will be applied to the hours necessary for degree completion. Project work is completed with the support of and feedback from a DNP Project Team.
