Please see below message/details from one of our ASNA members, ASD School Nurse Ashley Sapp regarding her DNP project on complementary medicine. This is an optional project for nurses to participate in that will be available for 4 weeks.  Ashley spoke at our Annual Spring Conference last April about her doctoral degree and her project it is now available. Please consider participating. Thank you!

Hello,

My name is Ashley Sapp, and I am a doctoral student at American Sentinel College and a school nurse in the Anchorage School District. You are receiving this e-mail to let you know that my DNP project on complementary and alternative medicine will be going live in one week.

My project is now posted on the State of Alaska School Nurse Site; a link is attached at the bottom of this e-mail. This project will run for 4 weeks. All e-mails and any communication will go through my proxy, Terri Wood, whose e-mail is wood_terri@asdk12.org.

Attached to this e-mail and every e-mail that will be sent out is the consent form. Please read the consent form for this project; if you choose to participate, you do NOT need to sign the form and send it back to me; entering your unique identifier for the pre and post-test and watching the webinar is your consent to participate in this project.

The project will consist of 5 demographic questions and a 42-question Pre-test. The webinar on complementary and alternative medicine will be about 31 minutes long. The post-test will consist of the same 42 questions as the pretest.

It is recommended that you do the pre-test, watch the webinar, and complete the post-test in one sitting. This should take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to do. Please keep in mind that the questionnaire was made to assess the beliefs and attitudes of nurses working in a hospital setting, so when answering questions, think about how the question relates to your school nursing practice and setting.

You will be asked to create a unique identifier; it is recommended that you use your maternal parents' first and last initial followed by their year of birth ex JD1962. Please take a picture of this because you will need to enter it exactly as it is input in the pre-test as the post-test so that I am able to connect the tests.

There are no CE’s being offered for this project. This project is completely confidential, and you can choose to participate; if you drop out at any point during the project, there are no penalties or repercussions for doing so.

Thank you so much for considering participating in this DNP project and helping a fellow school nurse.

Sincerely,

Ashley Sapp
