Abstract:
The importance of teamwork in health care, the need for doctorally prepared advanced practice nurses, and the nationwide faculty shortage provided the impetus for an educational tool to synthesize the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project. Clearly outlining the stages of the DNP project in a concise manner, the DNP project synthesis form aids learners and faculty in organization and documentation of planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project and serves as a one-stop resource when students are completing semesters. This article delineates why one school of nursing developed a project synthesis form for use across all DNP programs.
