Universities Team Up to Offer Online DNP
Monday March 8, 2010

Two Nevada universities soon will join the ranks of top nursing schools nationwide by offering a new advanced degree for nurses. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the University of Nevada, Reno, soon will offer students the Doctor of Nursing Practice online program.

Approved by the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents in December, the program will prepare nurses for advanced clinical practice and healthcare leadership roles.

Graduates will fill leadership positions in hospitals and clinics or serve as nurse educators, healthcare executives or policy analysts. Each school plans to admit 14 students next fall.

“The DNP program is essential to provide nurse practitioners with the increased skill set to provide the best healthcare for Nevadans,” Carolyn Yucha, RN, PhD, FAAN, CNE, dean of UNLV’s School of Nursing, said in a news release. “Nevada’s population is aging, and we need to be prepared to meet the specialized health challenges facing our state.”

Students will be admitted to either university and will be required to visit their respective university only once each academic year, with courses split equally between the two universities.
