Overview

If you're already a nurse practitioner, you can earn your DNP in as few as 20 months - or add a concentration to become a DNP-NP in as few as 36 months.

Either way, you can build the skills to become a leader in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership.

The Nursing Practice (Online) program at Maryville University is designed to:

Prepare you for more autonomy and professional growth

Develop your expertise with a focus on the scientific underpinnings of nursing, healthcare policy, and organizational leadership

Help you advance your credentials and improve patient care in your specialization

Equip you for the complexities of community healthcare needs

Expand your knowledge of evidence-based practice, clinical care research, patient outcomes, and clinical systems management

Career

As a terminal degree in nursing, your DNP can help you pursue career interests beyond gaining more autonomy, specializing your practice, or earning higher pay. Some ways DNP-educated nursing professionals use their knowledge and skill set include the following.

Conduct clinical research.

Sponsor and promote legislative change in healthcare policy.

Apply evidence-based research to improve the quality of patient care.

Advocate for patient safety rights and practices.

Drive collaborative projects as a leader for the future of nursing.

Become a key decision-maker in an executive suite or government office.

Open an autonomous practice (24 states now permit those with a DNP to open their own clinics).
