This is the first of two courses focused on a synthesis project or research study designed to bring together the practice, scholarship, and leadership components consistent with graduate-level nursing competencies. In this course, students identify an education, practice, and/or healthcare systems problem applicable to their practice setting. Students use an evidence-based practice model or research study design, to explore improvement opportunities related to the problem. By the course conclusion students have identified a topic and analyzed the background and significance to nursing practice and selected a theoretical framework to guide scholarly inquiry.
