Writing Support

Walden’s writing support staff members are available to answer questions about doctoral writing or APA Style. Students can contact Ask OASIS while enrolled in courses up to and including in the prospectus, the proposal, and project courses. Tutor or editor reviews may be scheduled using the Walden scheduling system. 

Writing support also contains links to a host of resources crucial to scholarly work, including courses, guides, and reviews. Writing is a key element of scholarly practice and of the DNP role, and these resources have proven extremely useful for DNP students. 

One link in particular that is indispensable for all DNP Projects, is the DNP Project Template, which provides an APA format template to help students write their DNP Project proposals and final project papers.
