Portfolio Practice Hours:
Practice immersion assignments are based on your
current course objectives and is application based learning using your
real-world practice setting. These assignments earn practice immersion hours
and are indicated in the syllabus by a Portfolio Practice Hours statement which
reminds you, the learner, to enter in a corresponding case log in Typhon.

course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in
a current practice setting. For more information on parameters for practice
immersion hours, please refer to DNP resources in the DC Network.
