What the degree includes
DNP programs build on nurse practitioner training with additional study in clinical practice, evidence-based care, patient safety, and leading health care teams. The focus is on caring for patients, as opposed to a PhD, which focuses on research.
What can a provider with a DNP do?
A provider with a DNP is a nurse practitioner who holds the profession's highest clinical degree. In Washington, nurse practitioners are licensed to examine, diagnose, treat, and prescribe independently, and can be your primary care provider.
