Doctor of Nursing Practice – Program Outcomes

Each DNP student is assigned an advisor (faculty mentor) at the time of enrollment in the DNP program. The advisor is selected based on clinical expertise and interest congruent with the student’s area of interest. The advisor and DNP student will work together to create a degree plan. The advisor also supervises the development of components of the Clinical Scholarship Portfolio (CSP), including outlining the individualized preceptorship and fellowship experiences based on the student's interest and professional goals. The CSP is a collection of required components that demonstrates a student’s scholarship as a clinical scholar practicing at the highest level of advanced practice or nursing administration; it provides evidence of competency in all domains of DNP practice. The CSP includes the DNP Project, comprehensive cases studies, and other examples of scholarly work related to the competencies outlined in the DNP Essentials. The CSP policy is found in DNP Program PolicyD8060(pdf). Upon completion of the Doctor of Nursing (DNP) program graduates will be prepared to:

• Critically evaluate and translate evidence into practice to support high quality outcomes.
