Misericordia University Online Doctor of Nursing Practice

The overhaul of our nation’s healthcare system has fundamentally transformed your role as an advanced practice nurse. You’re asked to do more, lead more, improve more, and save more than ever before. The challenges are far reaching — but so are the opportunities.

This is your chance to rise as a change agent and industry leader. You just need the advanced credentials and expertise to take your place at the top. And that’s exactly what an online Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Misericordia University can help you do.

Today’s healthcare employers have a growing need for advanced-practice nurses with the doctorate-level skills to lead the shift toward patient-centered, value-based care. That’s why we designed progressive, student-focused DNP programs you can complete in a convenient online environment.

Our DNP degrees combine academic theory and scientific inquiry with real-world, evidence-based practice. Coursework is grounded in the AACN’s Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice. And, our faculty are active, front-line clinicians who will challenge you to tackle complex healthcare issues and meet organizational change.

You’ll complete discussion posts, individual assignments, group projects, and workshops on everything from healthcare disparities and chronic illness to preventive measures and social determinants of health.
