Each course requires a minimum of 150 clinical practice hours. Students may focus on a direct care role or an aggregate/systems/organizational role such as informatics, nursing administration, or community health. Prior to starting NSG 7451 Project IV: Evaluation, 500 clinical practice hours post Bachelor of Science in Nursing must be completed. These hours may be credited from the M.S.N. program, but must be verified by the university where the student completed the M.S.N. Hours may also be achieved by taking NSG 7460 Scholarly Inquiry in Clinical Practice until the 500 hours are completed. All but 150 of the required clinical hours must be completed prior to starting NSG 7451 Project IV: Evaluation. If an applicant is an R.N. or B.S.N. with a master’s degree in another health-related field, the applicant may enroll in a transitional course, NSG 7299—Transition to D.N.P., to meet M.S.N. essentials prior to the start of D.N.P. coursework. This course is only offered in the fall semester. Students will work with an adviser to plan their individual program of study.
