Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Dnp projects.

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students create a DNP project at the culmination of study. Students’ projects must:

Enhance health outcomes, practice outcomes, or policy outcomes

Evaluate health care outcomes, practice outcomes, or policy outcomes

Reflect a culmination of practice inquiry

Engage in new partnerships

Reflect a translation of evidence into practice

The DNP program prepares students to bridge the gap between new science and integration into practice. At the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, graduates of our DNP program have created projects that implement research, plans, and practices that advance our profession and improve health outcomes. View the DNP projects below. 

“I find that I really enjoy mentoring other nurses and making them better leaders, or the best version of themselves they can be as far as nursing leadership goes.” Sondra Leiggi Brandon

Tips to Select DNP Project Topics

Selecting a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) project topic is a critical decision in your academic and professional journey. Your DNP project represents the culmination of your education and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on nursing practice, patient care, and healthcare policy. Here are some essential tips to help you choose the right DNP project topic:

  • Passion and Interest: Choose a topic that genuinely interests you. Your passion for the subject will keep you motivated throughout the project’s duration.
  • Alignment with Career Goals: Consider how your DNP project can align with your long-term career goals. Selecting a project related to your desired nursing specialization or future role can enhance your career prospects.
  • Relevance to Current Healthcare Challenges: Look for topics that address current issues and challenges in healthcare. This ensures that your project’s findings have practical applications and contribute to the ongoing improvement of healthcare.
  • Feasibility: Assess the feasibility of your project. Consider the available resources, access to data, time constraints, and your ability to execute the project successfully. A project that is too ambitious or lacks necessary resources can be frustrating and less impactful.
  • Consult with Advisors and Faculty: Seek guidance from your academic advisors and faculty members. They can provide insights, recommend potential topics, and help you refine your ideas.
  • Patient-Centered Focus: DNP projects often revolve around improving patient care. Consider topics that directly impact patient outcomes, safety, satisfaction, and the overall quality of care.
  • Interdisciplinary Approach: Nursing is an interdisciplinary field. Explore topics that allow you to collaborate with professionals from other healthcare disciplines, such as medicine, psychology, or social work. Interdisciplinary projects can lead to more comprehensive solutions.
  • Policy and Advocacy: Addressing healthcare policy and advocacy issues can be highly impactful. Consider topics related to healthcare policy analysis, legislative advocacy, or addressing healthcare disparities.
  • Research Opportunities: If you have a strong interest in research, look for topics that involve original research, evidence-based practice, or data analysis. Such projects can contribute to the nursing knowledge base.
  • Education and Training: If you are passionate about education and training, explore topics related to curriculum development, nursing education programs, or clinical preceptorship.
  • Patient Populations: Focus on specific patient populations that interest you, such as pediatric, geriatric, or mental health. Tailoring your project to a particular population allows for more targeted and impactful interventions.
  • Sustainability: Consider the sustainability of your project’s outcomes. Can your interventions or recommendations be sustained and continue to benefit patients or healthcare systems in the long term?
  • Ethical Considerations: Be mindful of ethical considerations in your chosen topic. Ensure that your project adheres to ethical standards and respects patient rights and privacy.
  • Potential for Publication: If you aim to contribute to nursing literature, choose a project that has the potential for publication. Original research and innovative solutions are more likely to be published in nursing journals.
  • Practicality: Finally, select a topic that is practical and relevant to your target audience. Your DNP project should provide real-world solutions and insights that can be applied in healthcare settings.

A Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project is a significant undertaking that can shape your nursing career and contribute to the nursing profession’s growth and development. By exploring various DNP project ideas and considering your personal interests, strengths, and available resources, you can select a project that aligns with your goals and aspirations.

Whether you choose to focus on clinical practice improvement, health policy and advocacy , education and training, or advanced nursing research, your DNP project has the potential to bring positive change to healthcare. The key is to embark on this journey with dedication and a commitment to excellence in nursing practice.

In closing, we encourage you to take your time in selecting the right DNP project and to seek guidance and mentorship from experienced nurses and faculty. Your DNP project is not just an academic requirement but a chance to leave a lasting mark on the field of nursing. Choose wisely and embrace the opportunity to elevate your nursing career.
