Scholarly Product Development

As noted in previous weeks of the course, collegial collaboration can broaden your perspective and help you to generate new ideas. How might this be true for the development of a scholarly product for dissemination?

In this Discussion, you and your colleagues share insights related to dissemination, including how dissemination relates to your development as a scholar-practitioner and as a nurse leader.

To prepare:

• Reflect      on the process you engaged in (with your Instructor or committee chair) of      selecting the journal or other format for your DNP Project scholarly      product for dissemination. What are the strengths and limitations of the      forum you selected?
• What      insights have you gained through developing this product? (You may also      wish to reflect on insights gained through your oral presentations.)
• What      other forums could be appropriate for disseminating the findings of your      DNP Project? (Consider involvement in professional organizations, for      instance.)
• How      does dissemination relate to your development as a scholar-practitioner      and a nurse leader?
