Just-in-Time DNP Book Club: An Inclusive Immersion Experience.

Published Date: Jul 23, 2025

Abstract

A just-in-time faculty-led virtual book club for a Doctor of Nursing Practice program was initiated in response to student interest. Students met virtually to discuss advanced practice nursing implications of a nonfiction book in accordance with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials. Reading a book independently may be insufficient for deep learning, but individual summary reflections following faculty-led discussions connected domains, competencies, and subcompetencies. This unplanned reactive activity connected a real-world situation to the principles of advanced nursing practice and was deemed valuable by students and faculty.
