“Nursing research involves much planning and attention to details, yet novice and seasoned nurse researchers often overlook the day-to-day operations required to conduct research studies. Project management is a set of iterative steps that can facilitate the process of conducting nursing research” (Rew et al., 2020).
As you begin working on your nursing informatics project, consider how this project will plant the seed for your future work (in and out of an educational setting). How might what you do in this course lend itself to what you will need to do in nursing practice on a day-to-day basis? Why might it be important to consider this now versus later in your education or practice?
Throughout this course, you are tasked designing a nursing informatics project. This project is steeped in project management concepts to drive your work.
For this Discussion, you will explore why this approach might not only will assist you in this course, but how it might assist you in nursing practice beyond your studies.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
TO PREPARE
· Review the Learning Resources for this week and reflect on the roles of advanced nursing practice as it relates to project management.
· Review the Learning Resources article King and Masson (2023) and the the article by Rew et al. (2020) to reflect on the steps and processes used by the team described in the article considering how you might use a similar approach for the completion of your DNP doctoral project or dissertation. What project management strategies might be most appropriate for your nursing research?
