Purpose
The purpose of this discussion is to reflect on your own readiness to practice as a DNP-prepared nurse, to consider what you learned in this course and how this knowledge will impact your practice.
Instructions
Reflective inquiry allows for the expansion of self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. As you reflect on your own readiness for practice as a DNP-prepared nurse, it is important to consider what you learned in this course.
As you review the course outcomes and your experience in this course, address the following:
- Analyze and evaluate how your thinking was challenged in this course as related to translation science models and theories and searching the literature for current research about the National Practice Problems.
- Considering this new knowledge, examine how this learning prepares you to practice as a DNP-prepared nurse.
