1 DNP NURSING DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE

2 DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE Why earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree? Nationally, the level of preparation necessary for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including Nurse Practitioners, is moving from the master s degree to the doctorate-level. DNP curricula build on traditional master's programs by providing education in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership, among other key areas. The DNP is designed for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative to research-focused doctoral programs. DNP-prepared nurses are well-equipped to fully implement the science developed by nurse researchers prepared in PhD, DNSc, and other research-focused nursing doctorates. At SVSU, nurses can earn their DNP while completing the FNP program or return after they are a FNP to earn their DNP degree. The changing demands of this nation's complex healthcare environment require the highest level of scientific knowledge and practice expertise to assure quality patient outcomes. Some of the many factors building momentum for change in nursing education at the graduate level include the rapid expansion of knowledge underlying practice, increased complexity of patient care, national concerns about the quality of care and patient safety, shortages of nursing personnel which demands a higher level of preparation for leaders who can design and assess care, shortages of doctorally-prepared nursing faculty, and increasing educational expectations for the preparation of other members of the healthcare team. What is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)? A FNP is a RN with advanced education (Master s or Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree) to provide primary care to individuals throughout their lifespan babies through the elderly. Most FNPs work in clinics and offices seeing patients one by one for health examinations and/or diagnosis and treatment of health issues. FNPs can also be found in a variety of settings including skilled care facilities, pain clinics, specialty offices, and urgent care centers. A FNP assesses patients, diagnoses their problem(s), implements an intervention(s) such as a referral and/or writes a prescription, and re-evaluates the patient s progress toward health. FNPs have a consulting relationship with one or more physicians. What are the advantages of becoming a FNP? A FNP is independently licensed to practice advanced practice nursing and can own their own practice (In Michigan; laws vary among states). Upon graduation, there are many positions to choose from that pay well with good benefits. FNPs are in great demand and can virtually practice where they want geographically, in the type of setting they prefer, either full-time or part-time. Currently, FNPs upon graduation, certification, and licensure can take a position in an underserved area, such as a rural area (Gladwin) or an inner city clinic (Saginaw), and over several years, may have their entire student loan forgiven. FNPs make a difference in patients lives. Being a nurse and a primary health care provider is a great combination of competence and caring, which results in satisfied patients with good outcomes. Preparing to become a FNP at SVSU can be done while working full-time. The course schedule is student friendly by being taught in a hybrid format (combination of online and face to face) and mostly evening classes, usually no more than one day per week until clinical begins. Students progress together though classes with a group of colleagues. Groups of students are diverse in age and experience. At the end of year three, students are awarded a MSN and take the FNP certification examination to obtain their licensure. At that point, students may continue taking courses to finish their DNP degree or come back at a later time to finish their degree.

3 DOCTOR OF NURSING The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree prepares registered nurses to practice as advanced practice nurses in the current health care environment based on a strong scientific foundation with emphasis on evidence-based practice, leadership, and the ability to create change to improve patient and organizational outcomes. In addition, the BSN to DNP program prepares registered nurses to practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) after designated 58 cr. (generally three years), certification, and licensure. A unique feature of the FNP program is the emphasis on rural health care with at least one clinical rotation in a rural health care setting. The DNP program is part-time and offered in a hybrid learning environment, which is a combination of in-class and online instructional modes. A certificate program in nursing education is also available to FNP students, thus qualifying them to teach, in addition to practicing clinically. ACCREDITATIONS The baccalaureate degree in nursing/master's degree in nursing/and/or post-graduate APRN certificate at Saginaw Valley State University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
