**Translate knowledge into action with activities designed to jump-start and propel you through your DNP Project**

This acclaimed workbook delivers an organized, systematic roadmap for the development, implementation, evaluation, and completion of the DNP Project. Designed by two nurse educators motivated by their own challenging DNP experiences to help the next generation of students, it consists of a collection of lessons that guide readers step by step through the entire DNP Project process. Anchored in a real-world context with more than 100 learning activities, the workbook promotes active learning and provides practical tips and advice for every stage of the project. The improved second edition maps content to the new AACN Essentials, reorganizes lessons for ease of use, weaves student project examples throughout the chapters, adds new tables for quick reference, and includes expanded supplemental material for both students and faculty.

The workbook begins with fundamental, knowledge-based information and then addresses the development of the DNP Project team, the feasibility of project ideas, and the elements required to develop, implement, evaluate, disseminate, and complete the project. It provides a variety of in-depth examples from actual projects to demonstrate the development of ideas and a logical, critical-thinking process. The flexible lesson format allows readers to complete chapters in the sequence that best matches their program’s project requirements. Chapters begin with learning objectives and conclude with a concept map summarizing key lessons. The workbook also includes practical forms to help readers organize and document ideas, communicate with stakeholders, and track project progress.
