Capstone

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some insight from you all regarding ideas for my DNP Capstone. As far as background, I have been a travel nurse for about 13 years in many specialties having now transitioned to a full time Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and an adjunct clinical instructor for ADN students.

I would love to do my project on a topic that incorporates a legal or ethical aspect to nursing practice but haven't been able to figure a way to go about it.

Other interests would definitely center around nursing education. I've toyed with the idea of designing an app to improve nursing documentation basics, although that may cause issues with facility specific requirements?

Looking forward to your ideas!

Hi! I am in a DNP program as well. I am only at the beginning of the program (am in my 3rd class now). The best advice I received about the DNP capstone is to pick a topic you are very passionate about and use it to improve an area of health. For instance, I work as an NP in an adult diabetes clinic. I have a lot of Hispanic patients I see there, and I noticed so many are doing poorly. So my capstone is going to be focused on doing some type of intervention to improve their health outcomes. So you should also pick an area you are an expert in and/or want to improve. Best wishes!!
