Doctor of Nursing Practice
A well known college in St. Paul, MN is offering a doctor of nursing practice. The college of St. Catherine’s is offering this degree www.stkate.edu/dnp for experienced nurses who want to further their education and improve their practice even more than they have in the past. This new degree is creating quite a stir in the medical field as many physicians do not want nurses to be able to obtain a doctorial degree because they think it will be too confusing for patients. Up to this point the only doctorial degree that has been available to nurses has been in research. What are your thoughts? Do you think this will be too confusing for patients? Do you think this degree would give a nurse entrepreneur more credibility?
