Doctor of Nursing Practice

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a advanced degree for registered nurses who want to develop high-level skills in clinical practice, leadership, and healthcare systems. It focuses on applying the latest research and evidence-based methods to improve patient care, enhance healthcare quality, and influence policy. Unlike research-focused doctoral degrees, the DNP emphasizes practical expertise and leadership in real-world healthcare settings, preparing nurses for advanced roles such as nurse practitioners, clinical experts, or healthcare administrators. It aims to elevate nursing practice to improve outcomes and address complex health challenges in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment.
