Advance your nursing career with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from JSU Nursing. JSU Graduate Nursing offers three options to obtain a DNP degree. We have two BSN-DNP options (FNP and AGACNP) and we offer a Post-Master’s DNP. The DNP is a leadership track with a focus on advanced clinical practice, leadership, informatics and technology, quality indicators and outcomes improvement, and translation of evidence to practice in health care delivery. Explore how you can make a positive impact in your community with an advanced degree from JSU Nursing!
The Doctor of Nursing Practice is a terminal degree in nursing that prepares Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to practice at the highest level of the profession.
JSU Nursing offers three Doctor of Nursing Practice tracks:
- BSN-DNP Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) track - (12 semesters)
- Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) track - (12 semesters)
- Post-Master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) track - (6 semesters) *
* Track for nurse professionals who already have an MSN degree with approximately 500 clinical practice hours in the completed master’s program which can be validated in writing by that program administrator. These students may or may not be nurse practitioners, but they must have completed a master’s degree with a clinical focus. The Post-Master’s DNP track is a leadership track with focus on advanced clinical practice, leadership, informatics and technology, quality indicators and outcomes improvement, and translation of evidence to practice in healthcare delivery.
