AB  - Innovations in the educational process are required to address the divergent 
      needs of nursing students depending on their point of entry, either 
      postbaccalaureate or postmaster's degree preparation. The requirement of the 
      scholarly doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project demands significant student 
      and faculty resources. With the variability of students' education, practice 
      experience, and interest, the expectations of the project need to fit the needs 
      of the adult learner. Linking these projects to clinical settings is an end goal 
      for these efforts which supports the scalability of these programs.Faculty from 
      Rutgers School of Nursing considers practice change and quality improvement a 
      priority in preparation of the DNP graduate. With curricular enhancements, 
      students are considering patient access, safety, and quality from the beginning 
      of their doctoral education. An innovative course series progression was 
      implemented to prepare students for the scholarly practice evaluation. In 
      addition, capstone and residency courses were reformatted to assist students in 
      evaluating models of evaluation, systems of care, and to further define the issue 
      they wish to address through their scholarly inquiry. Throughout the clinical 
      doctoral preparation, students are encouraged to evaluate practice in a 
      standardized critical format and ultimately, execute a scholarly project.By 
      linking these projects to the clinical setting, the DNP program increases its 
      scalability. Connecting the academic institution with the clinical setting allows 
      for increase student access to learning experiences and the capability of 
      scholarly projects to continue in the setting. Faculty resources are well used in 
      this manner. This process allows for continued capacity building within the 
      academic and clinical setting.
