Abstract

Abstract: The significance and value of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) projects can be potentiated by collaboration between educators and practice leaders and when students build on previous DNP projects, as demonstrated in this article. Projects can have a longstanding financial, quality, and outcome impact, helping demonstrate the worth and efficacy of the DNP degree.
