1. Reflect on the entire semester and look forward to beginning the development of your DNP project. Where does your passion for practice change lie and what population will your project target?
Want do focus on lack of the integration of behavioral and mental health services on medical surgical floor in a community hospital in Northern NJ
Reflecting on the entire semester, I have learned a lot about myself as a nurse and as a researcher. I have learned that I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, and I am committed to using my research skills to improve healthcare.
I have also learned that I am interested in working with underserved populations. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their socioeconomic status or background. I am committed to using my skills to help improve the health of these populations.
I am still in the early stages of developing my DNP project, but I am excited about the possibilities. I am interested in exploring the intersection of behavioral and mental health (BMH) and medical-surgical (MS) care, and I am particularly interested in using this lens to improve the care of underserved populations.
I am not sure yet what specific population my project will target, but I am open to working with any population that is in need. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality BMH care, and I am committed to using my skills to make a difference.
Here are some specific ideas for my DNP project:
I am still in the early stages of developing my project, but I am excited about the possibilities. I believe that BMH care is essential for the overall health of individuals, and I am committed to using my skills to improve the care of underserved populations.
I am also passionate about the following areas of practice change:

Specifically, I am interested in focusing on the lack of integration of BMH services on MS floors in community hospitals in Northern NJ. This is a significant issue, as many patients with BMH conditions are admitted to MS floors and do not receive the care they need. This can lead to a number of negative consequences, including delayed diagnosis and treatment, increased length of stay, and decreased patient satisfaction.
I believe that there are a number of things that can be done to improve the integration of BMH services on MS floors. These include:
