College of Nursing highlights doctoral work, promotes a culture of scholarship and inclusive excellence
The University of Cincinnati College of Nursing, in partnership with the Beta Iota Chapter of Sigma, the Nursing Honor Society, is providing a platform for doctoral nursing students to showcase their research. The 4th Doctoral Student Project Showcase will take place virtually on April 10, granting Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students the opportunity to present their work and offer the public an insight into the diversity and quality of student research happening in the college.
Seven DNP students and eight PhD students who submitted abstracts in three categories – evidence-based practice and quality improvement, research and literature review – were selected to present. Submissions were anonymously scored and selected by UC College of Nursing faculty and Beta Iota members.
Mandi Cafasso, DNP, APRN, CPNP, director of the college's DNP program, hopes the event will encourage nursing students to present their work moving forward.
"As in the previous years, students will benefit from presenting their work in front of a safe audience of peers, faculty and supporters. Additionally, faculty will be able to provide constructive feedback to make presentations stronger in the future. The idea is to foster professional growth and collaboration between PhD and DNP students," Cafasso said.
The event will begin at 5 p.m. ET on April 10 and is open to the public. Registration is required. Approximate start times for each presentation are listed in the agenda to offer individuals the flexibility to attend select sessions.
An application has been submitted for continuing education contact hours for nurses.
