With emphasis on evaluating evidence for practice and strengthening policy expertise, SIUE's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares expert nurses for leadership in professional nursing practice and patient-centered health care delivery. Specializations include post-master's DNP, family nurse practitioner and nurse anesthesia.
“I take care of very sick babies in the NICU,” said Amy Shaw, post-master’s DNP '16. “I felt a degree of moral obligation to take better care of these patients, and it seemed to me that the DNP was the best way to garner these skills to improve my practice.”
