2- Nursing Leadership

The DNP program focuses on nurse leadership and provides the student with the
opportunity to develop and implement a quality improvement project within a
selected practice site. Even though the quality improvement project does not
include direct patient care, the intervention should focus on patient outcomes. An
example would be to develop a protocol or policy and lead other health care
professionals to implement the intervention at the practice site. Reflecting on the
focus of the Doctor of Nursing Practice submit an essay that discusses all three of
the following topics:
1. How obtaining a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree will align with
your current or future role as a Nurse Leader?
2. The knowledge, skills, and/or abilities you possess will enable you to
successfully earn the DNP degree.
3. As a DNP student, you will be required to complete a scholarly project.
Identify a problem or a topic of interest in nursing that you may propose for
the DNP scholarly project.
