Within your assigned readings this week, you learned the importance of carefully planning out a project; especially a change in practice such as the DNP Project you will eventually work on within your doctoral journey. One of the first steps in project planning is to identify a significant issue or a problem that needs to be addressed.

Within your posting explain the problem or the issue you would like to address as a DNP scholar. Provide a summary of the evaluation process you followed associated with the problem by using the 4 considerations(significance, researchability, feasibility, and interest), which were posted by Polit and Beck (, p. 77-78 in hard copy textbook or p. 73-74 in eBook).
