| The DNP is a practice-oriented degree designed to prepare advanced nurses at the highest level of scholarly practice. Keeping pace with the demands of today’s changing healthcare environment requires clinical experts who have the knowledge and skills to be effective change agents. Graduates of our DNP program assume clinical and leadership positions as advanced nurses in a variety of roles including nurse executives, community leaders, and professional organization leadership. Northeastern University’s DNP program is designed to meet the DNP essentials. |
