Week 8
Reflection on Learning and Practice Readiness
Discussion
PurposeThe 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.
InstructionsReflective 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 related to translation science; summary, analysis, synthesis; and using an evidence-based intervention in a practice change project to address a practice problem.
Considering this new knowledge, examine how this learning prepares you to practice as a DNP-prepared nurse.
Course OutcomesThis discussion enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
Evaluate selected statistical methods for the purposes of critiquing the research to complement the critical appraisal of evidence. (POs 3, 5, 7, 9)
Analyze research and non-research data for the purposes of critical appraisal and judgement of evidence for translation into practice (POs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Justify use of a translation science theory or model when designing, implementing, evaluating, and disseminating findings from a practice change project. (POs 1, 4, 5, 8, 9)
Formulate a practice question focusing on the evidence-based intervention to influence practice outcomes. (POs 1, 3, 4, 5, 9)
Synthesize research study evidence and non-research evidence relevant to practice problems and a practice question. (POs 1, 3, 5, 9)
