Features

Washington State University College of Nursing’s baccalaureate to PhD in Nursing meets a growing demand for nurse scholars who can develop the science, steward the profession, and educate new nurse researchers.

The American Association of Colleges of Nurses (AACN) also endorses increasing the pipeline of nurses entering PhD programs by promoting entry into PhD studies earlier in nurses’ education and careers.
