NURS 8210 WEEK 2 DISCUSSION 1: PROFESSIONAL ROLE DEVELOPMENT
NURS 8210 WEEK 2 DISCUSSION 1: PROFESSIONAL ROLE DEVELOPMENT
“Nursing research involves much planning and attention to details, yet novice and seasoned nurse researchers often overlook the day-to-day operations required to conduct research studies. Project management is a set of iterative steps that can facilitate the process of conducting nursing research” (Rew et al., 2020).
As you begin working on your nursing informatics project, consider how this project will plant the seed for your future work (in and out of an educational setting). How might what you do in this course lend itself to what you will need to do in nursing practice on a day-to-day basis? Why might it be important to consider this now versus later in your education or practice?

Thanks for stopping by this assessment. We can assist you in completing it and other subsequent ones. Our expert writers will comprehensively review instructions, synthesize external evidence sources, and customize an A-grade paper for YOU!!!
Throughout this course, you are tasked designing a nursing informatics project. This project is steeped in project management concepts to drive your work.
For this Discussion, you will explore why this approach might not only will assist you in this course, but how it might assist you in nursing practice beyond your studies.

TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources for this week and reflect on the roles of advanced nursing practice as it relates to project management.
Select one of the roles described in Chapter 8 of the Sipes text to focus on for this Discussion.
Review the article by Rew et al. (2020) and reflect on the steps and processes used by the team described in the article.
How might you use a similar approach for the completion of your DNP doctoral project or dissertation? What project management strategies might be most appropriate for your nursing research?
