Doctor of Nursing Practice - Capella University

Doctor of Nursing Practice from Capella University is a Online Ph.D Registered Nurse degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. Prepare yourself to be a leader in the field of nursing by earning a DNP, the preferred credential for advanced practice nurses. Because a DNP focuses on practical contributions to the nursing field, it can be completed more quickly than a research-focused PhD. Unlike many DNP programs, Capella's online DNP focuses on administrative, organizational, and systems leadership competencies to prepare you for a variety of nursing leadership positions. Topics covered in this program include leadership and ethics, health care management, policy and advocacy, health care information systems, and health promotion and disease prevention for global populations. Capella's curriculum also incorporates The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). Convenient electronic textbooks are available for most courses, which lowers costs and provides immediate access to course materials. Field experiences allow you to apply what you are learning and focus on your areas of interest, culminating in a final project that produces a practice- and evidence-based solution to a problem you encountered in the field. This program would be a strong choice for advanced practice nurses who want to move into leadership positions, nurse administrators who want to expand their leadership responsibilities, or nurse leaders who want to implement health care delivery programs.
