WK 3A

aligning the essentials with a gap in practice or practice change

In order to fulfil your DNP degree at Walden, you will complete non-clinical coursework, practicum hours, and a DNP Project. Both the clinical hours you will complete as part of your Practicum and your DNP Project will align with specific Domains as defined in The
 Essentials.

Your DNP Project will focus on a gap in practice or practice change designed to improve quality within the organization at which you are doing your Practicum. The specifics of this will be decided later on, but at this early stage of your program, you should begin thinking about 1) the types of organizations you might select for your practicum experiences and 2) gaps in practice or practice changes that could be identified within these organizations. As you do this, keep in mind how the gaps in practice or practice changes will align with The Essentials.
