Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at WSU

Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at WSU Wright State University CoNH, in a consortium with the University of Toledo College of Nursing, offe

Wright State University College of Nursing and Health, in a consortium with the University of Toledo College of Nursing, offers a joint, online, post-master’s DNP program. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) graduate is prepared to lead in the transformation of the health care system. By translating findings into practice and tracking outcomes at the individual, systems, and population levels, the DNP will ensure quality and safety. These same skills will also position the DNP to lead policy efforts in the broader health care arena. Nurses prepared as DNPs are the health care leaders of tomorrow. We currently offer a full-time or part-time individualized program of study to meet the needs of each student. The 36 semester hour curriculum includes eleven courses focusing on nursing knowledge and practice. In accordance with AACN recommendations for 1000 academically supervised post-BSN clinical hours to earn a DNP degree, 520 hours of academically supervised practicums in clinical practice or leadership are included in the program. All students will be required to document their previous graduate level clinical hours. Individualized programs of study will be developed to assure compliance with the 1000 hour minimum requirement. Course assignments emphasize skill development and the operational use of knowledge in complex practice settings, including:

-Population-based intervention (assessing target populations, writing proposals)
-Marketing and entrepreneurship (marketing strategies, financial analysis, resource development)
-Systems and organizations (organizational assessment, healthcare financing & management)
-Quality management and performance improvement (performance benchmarks & tools)
-Evidence-based practice (appraising evidence, intervention design, evaluation of outcomes, dissemination through written, verbal and online presentations)
-Information management and technology (databases, patient care technology, workflow analysis)
-Health policy

Concentrations:

The post-master’s DNP at Wright State University and the University of Toledo offer a choice of two concentrations: direct care advanced practice nurses (APRN, CNS, CNM, and CRNA) or indirect care/leadership (Administrators, Clinical Nurse Leaders, Educators, or Public Health).
