Doctorate Of Nursing Practice

Mānoa: Doctorate of Nursing Practice to be offered in Fall 2012 ...

At its May meeting, the UH Board of Regents approved development of a post-master’s DNP program at UH Mānoa. Building on the master’s program curriculum, the DNP is designed as a professional (practice) doctorate integrating evidence based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership to prepare experts in specialized advanced nursing practice. The DNP is targeted to nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and will complement the Manoa research focused PhD in nursing program. “We are delighted to offer students the option to select the doctoral degree, PhD or DNP, which best fits their needs and career goals,” said Dean Mary Boland of the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene. “The DNP program will extend our already strong partnerships with employers, medicine, business and law to create a shared vision for interprofessional health-care practice.”   The DNP program will admit licensed registered nurses (RN) possessing a master’s degree in nursing or related field. It will consist of 37 credit hours of study completed over a period of two years including summer sessions. Students will enter and progress in learning cohorts with courses offered in a combination of face-to-face, online and hybrid delivery.
