NURS 705B - Evidence-Based Scholarship II

Unit(s): 3

Building upon the competencies achieved in Evidence-Based Scholarship I, the goal of this course is to help prepare Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) nursing students to be nurse scholars. This course emphasizes the application of advanced elements of evidence-based-practice (EBP) and scholarly writing within a multidisciplinary model and intraprofessional relationships to promote the translation of research that is ready for into practice. This course exposes DNP students to evidence-based practice, quality improvement methodologies, concepts and theories, and deepens their knowledge regarding the phenomenon of interest. This prepares them for foundational competencies needed for problem identification, PICOT question writing, literature search, integrated literature review, evidence appraisal, and synthesis. There are iterative assignments to develop skills and the milestone assignment is a final integrated review and synthesis paper about their phenomenon of interest.
