Summary
Pairing Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) faculty on DNP scholarly projects enhances student formation and fosters a collaborative community of scholars, addressing challenges in DNP project team structures.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Doctoral Studies
- Academic Scholarship
Background:
- The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is evolving, presenting challenges in scholarly project development.
- Existing guidelines from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) do not fully standardize DNP project team structures.
- Increasing DNP student numbers necessitate robust scholarship and rigor within the degree program.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a purposefully designed DNP project team structure.
- To highlight the benefits of pairing Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)-Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) faculty.
- To promote scholarly formation, collaboration, and efficiency in DNP projects.
Main Methods:
- Describing a specific model for DNP project team composition.
- Focusing on the strategic pairing of DNP-prepared faculty with Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)-prepared faculty.
- Discussing the collaborative guidance provided to DNP students.
Main Results:
- This collaborative approach guides DNP student scholarly formation.
- It fosters a community of scholars within nursing programs.
- The pairing of DNP-PhD faculty on DNP student projects has not been widely reported.
Conclusions:
- Purposefully pairing DNP and PhD faculty offers a structured approach to DNP scholarly projects.
- This collaboration enhances student development and project rigor.
- The described model provides a beneficial framework for other nursing colleges.

02:18Fischer Projections
16.6K
Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

02:40The Eukaryotic Promoter Region
18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.

01:29Coordinates and Map Projections
622
Coordinates and map projections are essential tools in accurately representing the Earth's surface for various applications, ranging from navigation to spatial analysis. The latitude and longitude coordinate system is a universally recognized framework for defining locations. Latitude specifies the distance of a point north or south of the equator, measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude indicates a location's position east or west of the prime meridian,...
