CU School of Nursing is the first in the state to offer the DNP -- the highest level of preparation for clinical nurisng practice.
Creighton is noted for innovative programs that keep pace with the ever-changing field of nursing. The DNP is designed for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative to research-focused doctoral programs. The DNP is a professional doctorate, such as a doctor of pharmacy, doctor of physical therapy or doctor of medicine.
Students can apply with either a BSN or with a Master's in Nursing. I always advise students that one of their goals should be either applying to or be actively in a masters or doctoral program.
