DN Seminar 4 Advanced Doctoral Nursing Practice

The Doctor of Nursing (DN) is a professional doctoral program designed to prepare nurses with the required skills to apply research knowledge and develop and implement clinical innovations in diverse settings, equipping them to (a) lead in dynamic, fast-paced, technologically advanced and sophisticated health care environments and/or (b) teach in nursing education. Students will engage in advanced education related to leadership, knowledge translation and application in diverse healthcare practice and/or education settings. The DN Student Seminars are an important and integral aspect of the preparation of doctoral students in the Graduate Department of Nursing Science and NUR1314: Advanced Doctoral Nursing Practice Seminar 4 is the final seminar in the program. This seminar provides a forum where DN students will discuss their individual progress on their thesis, building and refining the essential elements of their DN thesis with a particular focus on presentation of study findings. This DN seminar provides a venue for problem-solving and solution-sharing, along with the opportunity for scholarly critique of the data presentation strategy. As with the earlier DN seminars, continued connection with the thesis supervisor and supervisory committee is essential in this work. Guidance is also provided in the Thesis Guidelines for DN Students.
