NURS 8210 Week 2 Discussion 1 CASE STUDIES: PROFESSIONAL ROLE DEVELOPMENT

CASE STUDIES: PROFESSIONAL ROLE DEVELOPMENT

 

“Nursing research involves much planning and attention to details, yet novice and seasoned

nurse researchers often overlook the day-to-day operations required to conduct research studies.

Project management is a set of iterative steps that can facilitate the process of conducting nursing

research” (Rew et al., 2020).

As you begin working on your small nursing informatics project, consider how this project will

plant the seed for your future work (in and out of an educational setting). How might what you

do in this course lend itself to what you will need to do in nursing practice on a day-to-day basis?

Why might it be important to consider this now versus later in your education or practice?

Throughout this course, you are tasked with implementing, or proposing an implementation, of a

small nursing informatics project. This project is steeped in project management concepts to

drive your work.

For this Discussion, you will  explore why this approach might not only will assist you in this

course, but how it might assist you in nursing practice beyond your studies.

TO PREPARE

 

 Review the Learning Resources for this week and reflect on the roles of advanced

nursing practice as it relates to project management.

 Select one of the roles described in Chapter 8 of the Sipes text to focus on for this

Discussion.

 Review the article by Rew et al. (2020) and reflect on the steps and processes used by

the team described in the article.

 How might you use a similar approach for the completion of your DNP doctoral

project or dissertation? What project management strategies might be most

appropriate for your nursing research?

BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 2

 

Post a brief description of 4–5 major competencies required for the advanced nursing

practice role that you selected.

 Explain how the project management concepts you have examined thus far in the

course might align with this advanced nursing practice role and why. Be specific.

 

 Based on the steps and processes used by Rew et al. (2020) and the resources on

techniques and tools for nursing research, how might you use these same concepts

and a similar approach for completing your DNP doctoral project or dissertation?

 Explain which processes and techniques you believe will provide the most guidance

to assist you plan and develop your DNP doctoral project or dissertation. Be specific

and provide examples. Then, describe how the project management strategies you

will learn as a nurse leader may be applied to facilitate nursing research or nursing

practice for your DNP doctoral project or dissertation.
