think nurses have a clear understanding of the DNP degree

Students will prepare a 3-5 slide PowerPoint presentation including title slide and references to lead a short weekly discussion according to each DNP Practicum Module/Week requirements. Each student will be prepared to discuss the Module/Week Discussion. The student must submit a voice-over PowerPoint to discuss the weekly synchronous meeting topic when the student does not attend the meeting. These weekly meetings will count 1 hour toward practicum hours and should be documented through In-Place.

Discussion Topic: Be Bold and Confident

Questions:

1. Do you think nurses have a clear understanding of the DNP degree, including the rationale for a practice doctorate in nursing? Explain your answer.

2. What is your response to the AMA’s Resolution 211 (A-06)? What do you think is really driving this response from the AMA to nurses being prepared at the doctoral level?
