Choosing a DNP project can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re early in your program and still figuring out your clinical interests. Many students think they need to create something groundbreaking, but the reality is much more practical. The key isn’t reinventing the wheel, it’s finding a topic that’s meaningful, manageable, and backed by existing research.
In this episode, the team breaks down the DNP process with Kelsey’s DNP partner and fellow resident Greer Lesnieski, BSN, SRNA, from narrowing down your topic to building a strong PICO question and finding the right resources.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
📚 Build on existing research rather than trying to reinvent the wheel
🎯 Pick a topic that actually interests you (you’ll live with it for years)
🔍 The PICO framework helps narrow your focus
🌱 Small clinical changes (like low-flow anesthesia) can have big impact
🤝 Use trusted resources (AANA, APSF) to guide your topic
