Evaluating New Strategies
This week you begin working on Application 3. As a nurse engaged in advanced practice, you have the exciting opportunity to be a leader in translating evidence into practice.
For this first section of Application 3, consider the economic and financial implications of addressing your EBP Assignment issue. In addition, reflect on your leadership skills. As a DNP-prepared nurse, you are expected to employ the principles of business, finance, and health policy in the development of initiatives that will improve the quality of care delivered.
The full Application 3 is due by this week. Instructions for how to prepare for previous sections of this Application have been provided in Week 6.

NURS 8410 Assignment Application 3: Evaluating New Strategies
Evaluating New Strategies
Prepare for this week’s section of Application 3 as follows:
- Continue (from this week’s Discussion) to evaluate the new strategies you developed to address your selected issue and the potential economic impact.
- Review Chapter 6 in the course text, Translation of Evidence Into Nursing and Health Care Practice, and ask yourself the following: How are these activities enhancing my leadership skills? How does translating evidence enable me, as a leader, to affect or strengthen health care delivery and my nursing practice? I WILL SEND PICS OF CHAPTER SEPARATELY
You will build on this Application next week as you look at advancing new approaches to practice through the policy process.
Reflect on your growth, professionally and personally, since you embarked on your DNP journey. The AACN believes that one of the benefits of a practice doctorate is that it enhances your leadership skills to “strengthen practice and health care delivery” (2006, p. 5). As you continue to engage in your practicum experience, be cognizant of your growth in these areas.
In Week 6, you were asked to reflect on your leadership skills for this Assignment. This week, you continue your reflection on leadership and how you can lead the translation of evidence to practice through contribution to policy development.
Evaluating New Strategies
Prepare for this week’s section of Application 3 as follows:
