Are you ready to earn your online nursing degree?
Nursing students complete capstone projects toward the end of their training. While capstone formats differ between programs, they typically consist of hands-on, one-on-one experience with a nurse at a hospital or facility and or an evidence-based practice formal paper or presentation.
During their last semester, students work one-on-one with an experienced nurse caring for a full patient load. Here, students apply the nursing skills and knowledge learned throughout the nursing program. Students select a capstone project idea by evaluating their interests, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as their chosen nursing specialty area and creating a project on this idea.
Not every nursing program requires a capstone, but those that do, generally culminate in a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) or doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree. Learn more about how to come up with ideas, complete, and present your capstone project at the end of your nursing program.

What Is a Nursing Capstone Project?
A capstone course functions as a bridge between the end of school and the beginning of a career, allowing nursing students to put what they’ve learned into practice. As the name suggests, students complete capstones toward the end of their nursing training.
Each nursing program sets its requirements. Students may complete their capstone projects as team leaders. BSN candidates may present their papers to a faculty panel. Projects could include:
- Case studies
- Program evaluations
- Policy analyses
Students focus on evidence-based practice allowing them to apply research and experiential evidence toward solving a healthcare problem. Capstone goals center on the application of knowledge gained during nursing training programs, including topics related to:
Topics can also focus on the strategies needed to transition from students to baccalaureate-level nurses.
There is a difference between a capstone project and a thesis. Students complete capstones individually or in groups, while thesis projects must be done alone.
Capstone project time lengths span vary, while graduate students work on their thesis projects throughout their entire program length. Graduate thesis courses generally take place over 1-2 semesters to keep students on track.
Finally, capstone topics evaluate current issues and theories; thesis students incorporate existing case studies and literature while exploring and arguing for their original research. Some schools require students to publish their thesis papers in a healthcare journal.
Nursing Capstone Project Ideas
Asking for guidance from faculty, supervisors, preceptors, and fellow students helps narrow capstone ideas and topics. Advisors assist in choosing an appropriate capstone site. Nursing students often create capstone project ideas around need areas in health or healthcare, particularly in their city or region.
A few examples of capstone project ideas include:
- Easing the nursing shortage crisis
- Developing a telehealth system for rural communities
- Reducing hospital admissions through education and chronic disease management
- Creating an app that helps nursing students improve study habits
- Developing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions as learning tools or at the bedside
- Building a program to improve mental health in rural communities
- Improving pain management in children with cancer
- Increasing health literacy, particularly among specific patient populations
- Improving technology skills for patients, including in older age segments
Nursing students might also choose emergency or intensive care topics, such as creating a more effective triage system to get higher-risk patients seen quicker.
Some students prefer outpatient topics, like developing programs for clinical services, long-term care, or public health. Readers should remember that each school sets its policies and recommendations.
Students develop and learn the skills needed to complete their capstones throughout their training. These include:
- Organization and time management
- Knowledge of evidence-based practice
- Critical thinking
They also learn to conduct literature searches, identify research designs, and evaluate evidence.
Completing Your Nursing Capstone Project
Capstone formats and completion times widely vary between programs. Capstone projects can be completed in a few weeks or last till the end of the semester.
Most students follow a PICO format to complete their nursing capstone project regardless of the academic program. The PICO format is used in research to create a well-structured clinical question helping students direct their search on a particular topic. PICO stands for:
P – population, people, or problem
I – Interventions
C – comparison or condition
O – outcome
Some universities allow capstone projects to be completed in teams where students develop and implement the project. Capstone components may include defining the project and the team leader’s role, selecting team members, and formulating the project plan.
Capstone projects are meant to hone leadership and management abilities. Some examples include:
- Mastering therapeutic communication
- Applying leadership and management concepts
- Developing collaborative relationships
- Working on multidisciplinary teams
Presenting Your Nursing Capstone Project
The capstone process culminates in a paper or presentation that measures students’ skills in communication, information dissemination, and application of evidence-based practice skills. Members of the public may attend.
Utilizing the poster format, students commonly use three panels to illustrate:
- The background, problem, and purpose
- The methodology
- 2-3 key findings and implications
Students who present using PowerPoint on a laptop or other device should pay attention to time limits, plan for one slide per minute, and verify that equipment and internet connectivity are available.
Visuals like graphs, figures, and bullet points are more effective than large blocks of text.
Students should practice presenting in front of others to ensure they thoroughly know their content and can answer questions. Backing up a copy of a PowerPoint presentation and printing out copies or transparencies guards against last-minute glitches.
How Is a Nursing Capstone Project Graded?
Capstone grading methods differ between programs. Some issue letter grades and others use a pass/no pass system. Grades typically hinge on a percentage basis of the project’s written sections, the final proposal, and the presentation.
Faculty evaluate how students execute the capstone course objectives, which may include the following criteria:
- Exhibiting thorough preparation and knowledge of the subject matter
- Clear and concise communication
- Adherence to any time limits
- Ability to answer questions and cite references
- Persuasiveness
Frequently Asked Questions About Nursing Capstone Projects

Why Do Students Write DNP Capstone Projects?
The purpose of a DNP capstone project is to:
- Demonstrate the student’s ability to apply advanced nursing knowledge and skills to solve complex practice problems
- Contribute to the body of nursing knowledge and evidence-based practice
- Enhance the student’s leadership, collaboration, and project management skills
- Prepare the student for their role as a DNP-prepared nurse leader and change agent
Developing Your DNP Project Using an Evidence-Based Approach Step-by-Step
Step 1: Choose a Project Topic
Begin by identifying a problem or area for improvement in your practice setting. Consider your experiences as a nurse practitioner in various healthcare settings, such as primary care, acute care, emergency department, or outpatient clinics. Look for opportunities to implement evidence-based practices that can enhance patient care, improve health outcomes, or address specific challenges, such as:
- Chronic disease management (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)
- Medication safety and prescribing practices
- Telehealth implementation
- Infection control and prevention
- Care coordination and transitions of care
Conduct a preliminary literature review to identify existing research and best practices related to your topic of interest. This will help you refine your problem statement and clearly understand your chosen area’s current state of knowledge.
Step 2: Craft a PICOT Question
Develop a focused clinical question using the PICOT format, which stands for:
- Population: The specific patient population or healthcare setting of interest
- Intervention: The proposed evidence-based intervention or practice change
- Comparison: The current practice or alternative intervention (if applicable)
- Outcome: The desired patient, provider, or system-level outcomes
- Time: The timeframe for implementing the intervention and measuring outcomes
A well-crafted PICOT question will guide your literature search, project design, and evaluation plan.
Step 3: Choose Appropriate Nursing Theories
Select one or more nursing theories or conceptual frameworks that align with your project’s purpose and guide your intervention design and implementation. Some commonly used theories in DNP projects include:
- Lewin’s Change Theory
- Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations Theory
- Donabedian’s Quality Framework
- Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory
- Bandura ‘s Social Cognitive Theory
Integrating nursing theories into your project will provide a foundation for understanding the problem, designing effective interventions, and evaluating outcomes.
Step 4: Research and Collect Resources
Conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify the best available evidence related to your PICOT question. Use databases such as CINAHL, PubMed, and Cochrane Library to search for peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and clinical practice guidelines. Critically appraise the evidence to determine its quality, relevance, and applicability to your project.
In addition to the literature review, consider other sources of evidence, such as:
- Organizational data (e.g., quality metrics, patient satisfaction surveys)
- Stakeholder input (e.g., patients, healthcare providers, administrators)
- Expert opinion and consultation
- Professional organization recommendations and position statements
Synthesize the evidence to inform your project design and implementation plan.
Step 5: Develop Your Project Proposal
Craft a compelling project proposal outlining your DNP project’s key components. The proposal should include:
- Introduction: Background and significance of the problem, purpose statement, and PICOT question
- Literature Review: Synthesis of the evidence supporting your proposed intervention
- Theoretical Framework: Description of the nursing theories or conceptual frameworks guiding your project
- Setting and population
- Intervention description
- Outcome measures and data collection methods
- Data analysis plan
- Timeline and resources
- Ethical Considerations: Plan for ensuring the protection of human subjects and obtaining necessary approvals (e.g., Institutional Review Board)
- Dissemination Plan: Strategies for sharing project findings with stakeholders and the broader nursing community
Step 6: Create a Project Outline
Develop a detailed outline of your DNP project paper, following the structure provided by your nursing program or the DNP Project Template. A typical outline may include:
- Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Background and Significance
- Problem Statement
- Purpose Statement
- Clinical Question (PICOT)
- Literature Review
- Theoretical Framework
- Methodology
- Setting and Population
- Intervention Description
- Outcome Measures
- Data Collection and Analysis
- Ethical Considerations
- Implications for Practice
- Limitations and Recommendations
Step 7: Start Writing
Begin drafting your DNP project paper, using your outline as a guide. Follow the formatting and citation guidelines your nursing program provides, typically APA style. As you write, keep in mind the following tips:
- Use clear, concise language and avoid jargon
- Provide sufficient detail to allow readers to understand and replicate your project
- Use headings and subheadings to organize your paper and improve readability
- Cite sources accurately and consistently throughout the paper
- Include tables, figures, and appendices to support your content and provide additional details
Step 8: Edit and Revise
Once you have completed your initial draft, set it aside for a few days and then return to it with fresh eyes. Read through your paper carefully, checking for clarity, coherence, and logical flow of ideas. Revise and refine your writing as needed, paying attention to:
- Grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- Consistency in terminology and formatting
- Alignment between problem statement, purpose, methods, and results
- Strength and relevance of evidence supporting your intervention and findings
- Implications and recommendations for nursing practice, education, policy, and research
Consider seeking feedback from your DNP project committee, peers, or a writing tutor to identify areas for improvement and ensure your paper meets the highest standards of scholarly writing.
Tips for Selecting Your DNP Capstone Committee
Choosing the right DNP capstone committee is critical to the success of your project. Here are some tips to help you select committee members who will support and guide you throughout the process:
Pick People You’ve Interacted With
Consider faculty members, mentors, or preceptors with whom you have established positive relationships and who are familiar with your work and interests. These individuals may be more invested in your success and willing to provide the guidance and support you need.
Choose Subject Area Experts
Look for committee members who have expertise in your project’s content area, methodology, or theoretical framework. Their knowledge and experience can help you refine your project design, navigate challenges, and ensure the rigor and relevance of your work.
Choose People Who’ll Get Along
Select committee members who have compatible working styles and personalities. A cohesive and collaborative committee can foster a positive and productive experience, while conflicts or communication breakdowns can hinder your progress and add unnecessary stress.

What Is a DNP Capstone Project?
The DNP capstone project (most often referred to as a DNP final project) takes place near the end of your DNP program. It is your opportunity to take your newly acquired competencies achieved through DNP coursework and clinical experiences and design a project that is focused on positively impacting healthcare outcomes, either through direct clinical nursing care or indirectly from the systems side of nursing. As a culminating project, the goal is to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of newly acquired skills and knowledge. A successful DNP capstone project reflects the scope of the student’s doctoral level work and focuses on a meaningful change to healthcare outcomes.
Note: The term “DNP capstone project” has given way to the term “DNP final project” in recent years due to the AACN’s 2015 call for nursing schools to use a term that distinguishes the DNP project from other graduate-level projects.
Sponsored School(s)
Your final DNP project is an investigation of an area of nursing practice, the healthcare delivery system, or a healthcare policy issue that aligns with the scope of your doctoral work. It’s your time to translate health research into practice, preparing you to make the transition to the role of active practitioner in the delivery of informed, quality healthcare.
Your final DNP project will be unique to you, although all DNP projects should:
- Feature a systems or population/aggregate focus
- Demonstrate how it can be implemented into your area of practice
- Include a realistic plan for sustainability
- Include an evaluation of the project’s results
- Provide a foundation for future practice scholarship
How Do I Choose a Capstone Project?
Your final DNP project will align with your DNP’s focus and clinical experiences and be something meaningful to you. What your DNP looks like will ultimately depend on what’s important to you, although your DNP project coordinator, faculty advisor, or DNP program committee will need to give you the green light to proceed with your project idea.
What Are Some DNP Capstone Ideas?
DNP projects are most often focused on quality improvement initiatives, practice change programs, program evaluations, or the translation of evidence into practice.
For example, if your DNP capstone project is practice-focused, it may involve implementing or evaluating a new practice model, a program of care, or a quality improvement project. If it’s focused on health policy, it may involve analyzing, developing, or implementing policy or legislative change. Or if it’s focused on health systems, it may involve using new technology to enhance or evaluate care or analyzing financial models to improve cost-effectiveness in care models.
Examples include:
- Pilot study
- Change initiative
- Consultation model
- Policy initiative
- Quality improvement initiative
- Design and evaluation of a new model of care
What Will the DNP Capstone Involve?
Your DNP capstone will culminate in a final report that includes a scholarly paper that’s suitable for publication. This scholarly paper will include a description of the project, an evidence-based review of the literature, your findings, the evaluation of your findings, and outcomes, and suggestions for its dissemination to the larger nursing community. Dissemination examples may include presenting at a local, regional, sate, or national conference, publishing in a peer-reviewed journal, developing a webinar presentation, presenting to the general public, developing a digital poster, etc.
Once your DNP capstone is complete and your DNP mentor/project chair confirms that your scholarly paper is ready for committee review, you can move onto the final portion of the project, which is a final presentation and defense.
How Will My DNP Capstone Be Evaluated?
Your DNP capstone project will be evaluated via a review process that includes one or more of the following: peer review, academic review, and/or stakeholder review. In general, this review process includes a final oral presentation and project defense that you’ll complete in front of the DNP project committee.
Approval of the final defense of your DNP final project from the DNP project committee acts as documentation that you have passed. This is usually accomplished by vote among the DNP project committee members. If you don’t pass, you’ll have the opportunity to correct any deficiencies and present your project once again to the DNP project committee. Most programs only allow students two opportunities to pass the final DNP project.
