update - NUR 798 DNP students seeking published articles that are DNP capstone projects

I've just been told that the NUR 798a instructor does want her students to find doctor of nursing practice projects that have been published as articles (not posted online, not produced as dissertations).  She does not want anyone to find these publications for students, though. She wants them to learn how to search.

There are about 25 students in this class, just send them to me.  There is an overall library guide for DNP students

In case you're curious, no I haven't seen subject headings or other great handles to get to published results of these projects instead of lots of results including articles about the capstone as a part of doctoral education.

At the moment, I'm pointing students into ProQuest Central and suggesting the phrase "this project" or "my project" be included in the search, then you can narrow to articles.

Anyhoo, here is a search that I have tried.  Students will need to consult their instructor, not me, about whether a source is acceptable.  That's pretty standard for nursing.
