Nursing courses built from doctoral research
Each activity translates completed DNP research and quality improvement work into practice-ready education for long-term care teams — with learning objectives, cited evidence, interactive practice, a self-scored knowledge check, and printable job aids.
These are downloadable and streamed digital learning products. They are self-paced educational content only — no certificates, credentials, or continuing education credit are issued.

Preventing Healthcare-Acquired Pressure Injuries in Long-Term Care
Implementing an Evidence-Based Nursing Care Bundle
A self-paced pilot module translating a completed DNP quality improvement project — an eight-week nursing care bundle that reduced HAPI incidence from 60% to 43% in an 84-bed skilled nursing facility — into bedside practice for LTC nurses and nurse leaders.
- Describe the clinical, human, and financial burden of healthcare-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) in long-term care using current prevalence and cost data.
- Identify the four core elements of an evidence-based pressure injury prevention care bundle and the level of evidence supporting each.
- Apply Braden Scale subscale findings to select individualized bundle interventions for a high-risk long-term care resident.
Preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections
Hand Hygiene and Aseptic Technique in Post-Surgical and Wound Care
A self-paced course built from a completed DNP-level quality improvement project on a 34-bed medical-surgical unit, where structured hand hygiene and aseptic wound care education reduced healthcare-associated infections by 10% in a single month. Learners rebuild the evidence, practice the WHO 5 Moments and sterile-field decision-making, audit their own unit, and leave with a sustainability plan.
- Describe the clinical, human, and financial burden of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and state the documented practice gap between hand hygiene policy and observed compliance.
- Identify the World Health Organization 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene and select the correct agent — alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water — for a given clinical situation.
- Differentiate clean, no-touch, and sterile technique, and demonstrate the sequence of an aseptic post-operative dressing change.
The SKINN Bundle: Preventing Pressure Injuries in Long-Term Care
Surface · Keep Turning · Incontinence · Nutrition · Nursing Assessment
A six-lesson, video-supported course that turns the SKINN bundle into daily bedside practice. Learners score risk with the Braden Scale, match support surfaces to risk, build a realistic turning schedule, stop moisture-associated skin damage, escalate nutrition, and document skin findings that hold up under F686 survey review.
- Explain each element of the SKINN bundle and why bundled, all-or-nothing delivery outperforms isolated interventions.
- Score the Braden Scale accurately and select interventions driven by the lowest subscales rather than the total score alone.
- Match support surfaces and offloading devices — including heel and device-related pressure prevention — to resident risk.
