Proposal Writing for Clinical Nursing and DNP Projects - 3rd Edition by Wanda Bonnel & Katharine V Smith (Paperback)

About the Book

"This book provides students with tools to implement in their own scholarly practice. Three chapters, new to this edition, focus on implementing quality-improvement projects, writing the final project report, and ongoing clinical scholarship opportunities. Chapters, consistent with previous editions, feature boxes offering advice from doctor of nursing practice (DNP) students who have completed project proposals. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and edited to enhance clarity. In response to reviewers' requests, new proposal and project tips have been added to many chapters. Key features to engage readers continue from the earlier editions; these include reflective questions, tips for making proposals complete and concise, exemplars, and reader activities. This text helps develop reflective clinical scholars who can write about clinical challenges, propose solutions, and use the methods of quality improvement and research to develop scholarly proposals and projects"--
