Course Summary

3-Module On-Demand Course for DNP Students

Start right. Finish well.

DNP school can be daunting.

Learn how to succeed in DNP school AND make an impact on systems-level change in healthcare...from someone who has done it successfully!

- Do you feel like the expectations for DNP projects are unclear?

- Have you recently been accepted to DNP school but feel overwhelmed with where to begin?

- Are you experiencing delays in your DNP education because your DNP project just isn't working?

Unfortunately, nursing education doesn't do a great job of preparing DNP students for what to expect or how to prepare for their doctoral educational journey, resulting in frustration, lost time, and sometimes even giving up.

As a former DNP student, I was exactly where you are. I experienced all of the pain points in nursing doctoral education - pain points that unfortunately are common themes among DNP students. Even though I attended a reputable university, I still was painfully aware of the gaps - such as things that would have been beneficial to know ahead of time - information that would have saved me time, effort, frustration.

But there is hope!

You CAN implement a successful and sustainable DNP capstone project that includes systems-level change and that can lead to unbelievable opportunities in your career while positively impacting the entire healthcare system. How do I know? Because I have done it.

And that is why I created this course - to help future DNP students be prepared for the expectations of a DNP scholarly project so that you can be the best that you can be!

In this course you will:
1. Learn how to identify a passion (or a frustration) and turn it into a DNP project.
2. Gain an understanding of the DNP educational process (including residency breakdown!) so that you can adequately prepare.
3. Avoid wasting time, money, and energy researching topics that will never be approved.
4. Discover what will work and generate a practical plan for your future DNP project!
