To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this week, specifically Chapter 4 of Dang and Dearholt addressing the Practice Question, AACN’s The Essentials, the DNP Practicum Manual, and the DNP Project Process Guide.
Consider the types of organizations you might select for your practicum experiences (e.g., a large acute care health system, a long-term care facility, a pediatric hospital, a community health center, etc.)
Consider the kinds of gaps in practice or practice changes that could benefit such organizations, including those specific to the organization and those that relate to healthcare practices more generally.
Consider how the gaps in practice or practice changes you are interested in pursuing align to The Essentials.
Select one organizational type and one gap in practice or practice change on which to focus for this Assignment.
Note: You may select a new organizational type and gap in practice or practice change or, if you choose, you may reuse one on which you focused for a previous Assignment, Discussion, or Blog in this course.
Also Note: These may or may not be the same organizational type and gap in practice or practice change as those you will focus on for your Practicum and DNP Project.
Note: Be sure to review the grading rubric for this Assignment so you fully understand what is expected of you. To access the rubric, scroll down to the bottom of the Assignment page.
