What is the difference between the DNP and PhD programs at JHUSON?
The JHUSON DNP program builds upon the current master’s program content to prepare nurse leaders for evidence-based practice in both direct patient care and executive roles. This requires competence in translating research in practice, evaluating evidence, applying research in decision-making, and implementing viable clinical and organizational innovations to change practice. The PhD program is designed to prepare nurses for careers as research scientists, often in academic or governmental positions.
