Catalog Course Description

Students must have identified and gained approval of community mentor for scholarly project with all contracts and site requirements completed prior to starting the Translational Research Project Development course. The student will select a practice setting based on their individual interest and expertise and conduct an assessment to identify opportunities for improvement. Building upon formative coursework, students are expected to synthesize theoretical, empirical and clinical knowledge to analyze critical issues in current practice and identify a phenomenon of interest within their area of expertise. The student will analyze data, develop a theory-based project proposal and define a research question(s) for a translational research project addressing a clinically relevant problem within a specific population. An IRB proposal will be submitted for approval of clinical project implementation. This course will include the systematic collection and evaluation of research evidence through a comprehensive literature review and initial project proposal. The student will develop their project under the guidance of a faculty member and in conjunction with a community preceptor. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be awarded 180 clinical experiential learning hours.

Course Policies

Instructor Grading Though it cannot be guaranteed due to the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, student assignments will typically be graded by the week following submission. Students will be notified if there will be a delay in grading. Students may contact the instructor regarding any questions with grading.

Attendance

In an accelerated learning model, interaction is foundational to synergy. Therefore, for the model of experiential learning to work, attendance must be mandatory. Substantive participation requires weekly submission of assignments by their respective due dates. We recognize there is always the unexpected in the midst of adult life. Absences must be cleared in advance with your professor, who may set up a special meeting time, apart from class time, to cover learning objectives for that class. More than one absence per course or excessive absences in the program may be grounds for course failure and/or administrative withdrawal from the program. Attendance records are essential to comply with regulations established by the Veterans’ Administration or recipients of VA benefits or federally insured student loans. If long term medical, family, or employment concerns develop, the student needs to contact their Student Support Specialist and Professor immediately. The Student Support Specialist will assist the student in addressing non-academic matters related to their program. The Professor will assist the student in addressing academic matters related to their program. (*Non- participation in a course for one week is considered equivalent to an absence.)

Participation

Participation in an online course is derived from the learner completing course assignments not limited to weekly discussions, weekly assignments, tests, individual and/or group projects, etc. (Non-participation in this course can and will affect the learner's final grade.)

Zoom Web-Based Meetings

NURS 7012 Page 14 of 18 Students will have the option to participate in web-based synchronous class meetings with classmates and instructor. This time will be used to answer questions, review material and give additional guidance for the assignments and the Translational Research Project Proposal. Links to the meetings will be posted after the start of the course.

Discussion Boards

Students are expected to actively participate in each discussion board during this course. Students are required to post an initial 250-word minimum response (excluding references and citations) to the discussion board prompt(s) no later than Wednesday at 11:59pm of the week's discussion board. Then each student should ready all the discussions and must respond to the initial postings of at least two classmates, with a 150-word minimum response (excluding references and citations), asking reflective questions and critically commenting on their ideas to extend and advance the conversation.

During discussions, you must demonstrate not only that you understand the subject matter but that you can apply what you have learned, analyze, and evaluate critically. Thus your postings must be appropriate, timely, and add value. Discussion boards provide a forum to seek clarification and answer important questions about course material, proposal and project development and difficulties. Each student should post within the first 2 days of a DB that is over one week and within the first 4 days of a DB that is over two weeks and postings should be on a minimum of three different days. See Discussion Board Guidelines and Grading Rubric for specific details.

Clinical Journals All DNP students are required to complete clinical experiential learning hours in order to meet the requirements for the DNP degree. Activities for practice hours are subject to faculty approval and should be discussed, in advance, with the student’s Faculty Advisor. Example activities are located in the DNP Student Handbook. The Clinical Journal is a weekly reflective synopsis of scholarly activities completed as clinical experiential learning hours. The activities completed during the week, listed in the journal entry, will be correlated to the Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice which will serve as verification of the DNP competency areas fulfilled. Each journal entry will include the number of hours completed for the week, a cumulative number of hours completed and the number of hours needed for completion of the 1000 post-baccalaureate clinical practicum hours. See Clinical Journal Guidelines, Grading Rubric and example format for specific details.

Clinical Hour Log Clinical Experiential Learning Hours are indirectly supervised by Faculty Advisors and directly supervised by either a faculty member or a community-based preceptor. Students are responsible for completing clinical hour logs for each day of clinical experiential learning. Each activity will list the time on task, associated Essential for Doctoral Education and Program Level Assessment Measure. The student, direct supervisory preceptor and the Faculty Advisor must sign the log validating completion of

NURS 7012 Page 15 of 18 the activities and hours listed. Final, signed copies of the Journal of Clinical Experiential Learning Hours document(s) must be submitted by the date listed on the topical outline.

Translational Research Project Timeline A project timeline will be developed to guide the student through project proposal development and implementation. The project timeline will consists of a detailed plan for all procedures, resources and any additional personnel needed. Project methods and procedures will vary depending on the type of project you will be implementing but a solid plan, including time for setbacks, is essential. Remember to include time for evaluation of the project, manuscript development (all revisions) and dissemination. See Translational Research Project Timeline Guidelines and Grading Rubric for specific details.

IRB Submission Each Translational Research Project must undergo IRB approval. Depending on your clinical site, you may need to complete IRB approval at both your clinical site and at King University. You will work closely with your Faculty Advisor to complete the required IRB documents and obtain the appropriate approval(s) for your project. You will submit all completed and Faculty Advisor approved IRB applications based on your specific project. See IRB Submission Guidelines and Grading Rubric for specific details.

Translational Research Project Proposal The project proposal is necessary to show logical progression of thought from the prospectus (preliminary proposal completed during EBP and Translational Research) though the project evaluation and dissemination. The Project Proposal will follow the formal outline listed in the DNP Handbook. Students will work closely with their Faculty Advisors and Clinical Preceptors to develop the proposal. The student will defend their proposal to their chosen DNP Translational Project Committee for further review and critique. After any suggested revisions, the final TRP Proposal will be submitted. An approved research proposal is a requirement for successful completion of this course. See Translational Research Project Proposal Guidelines and Grading Rubric for specific details.

King University Email Policy

King University Faculty and Students are required to use their King University email for all King University business correspondence. This requirement includes electronic correspondence with King University personnel and students in the course room. The use of personal or work email accounts for University related business is not permitted. Students should check their King University email daily for updates and/or announcements and respond to all emails within 48 hours.

Grading Scale The school of nursing calculates grades as A, A-, B+, B, B-. C+, C, C-, D, or F. Doctoral nursing majors must earn a “B” or higher in all NURS courses to maintain an overall GPA of 3.0/4.0 scale. In the DNP program a grade of “B-“or below is failing.

NURS 7012 Page 16 of 18 The numerical values for the school of nursing grade scale are:

Total Score Course Grade Value 95-100 points A 4.0 90-94.99 points A- 3.7 88-89.99 points B+ 3.3 85-87.99 points B 3.0 80-84.99 points B- 2.7 78-79.99 points C+ 2.3 75-77.99 points C 2.0 70-74.99 points C- 1.7 65-69.99 points D 1.3 Below 65 points F 0.0

Consistent with the King University SON policy, individual assignment grade calculations are carried out to the .00 place. Final course grade calculations are NOT rounded up.

Refer to the DNP Student Handbook for additional program-specific policies

Final Comprehensive Competency Assessment

All students seeking a degree from King University are required to demonstrate competency in their major field. DNP students will demonstrate satisfactory completion of the competencies outlined in the AANC DNP Essentials in addition to the DNP student outcomes. These competencies will be demonstrated by successful completion of the translational research project. The project will be evaluated against a rubric and will be pass/fail. Students with more than one major must demonstrate competency in each of their major fields. Major Field GPS students will complete the assessment in the semester that they graduate. All students will have to pass according to the minimum requirement of their department. Any student who does not meet the required (Pass) of their comprehensive assessment of their major field will not graduate until the requirement has been met.

Late Assignments

All assignments are to be completed by the due date. Assignments submitted after the due date will be graded as stated in the specific grading rubric and/or grading guidelines for the assignment. Assignments submitted late and not rubric-guided may receive a minimum 10% reduction in the earned grade per day. Students are responsible to communicate with the instructor prior to any unavoidable and legitimate absence and discuss options for make-up work. Making up a missed assignment is at the discretion of the instructor and may be in an alternate format and at a time and date of the instructor’s designation.

NURS 7012 Page 17 of 18 Students are responsible for submitting papers, projects, assignments, and reports by specified dates. Faculty is not obligated to extend deadlines or accept late papers or assignments. If there is a delay in completion of any assignment, it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the due date posted on the outline. Due to the nature of this course, there may be delays therefore early communication is of the utmost importance.
