• The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is for the nurse seeking specialty preparation in advanced levels of nursing practice. • The DNP is a practice degree to meet the ever growing needs in a complex health care system. • The PhD is primarily a researched-focused degree program. • The DNS and DNSc are usually designed for nurse scholars who wish to pursue careers as leaders in health policy, healthcare delivery, nursing education and/or research.
