Laura, I see that others have not responded to your note so thought I would jump in and share some thoughts. I can speak from the point of view of faculty and former DNP student. The challenges I’ve seen many DNP students go through when selecting, developing, and completing a project surrounds an appreciation of the big picture.
Here’s something that I’ve seen in the past. DNP students develop a great intervention based on evidence, and then go looking for a problem to solve. That will not work. First, identifying a problem to address will lay the foundation for success. Identifying this problem is dependent on the system or organization. Where you work or complete your project is where your work begins. Asking leaders and stakeholders to identify problems that need to be addressed is the first step. Building these relationships will make the difference in how you start – build – implement – and analyze your project.
How does this look to you? Thoughts?
