The license-qualifying post-baccalaureate Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at the Stony Brook University School of Nursing will prepare diverse clinical leaders who can influence healthcare outcomes, critically appraise evidence, and facilitate the transition of best evidence to best practices.
The program, offered through distance education with on-site requirements, is designed for registered nurses who hold a baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing, but is currently only accepting applicants with advanced standing to the DNP program. Applicants must hold a Master of Science degree as an advanced nurse practitioner or certified nurse midwife.
Graduates will ensure accountability for quality healthcare; utilize information technology to support and improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems; and set, influence, and implement health policies that secure improvements in global population health. Interprofessional teams with collaborative leadership will enable the DNP graduate to analyze complex practice and organizational issues to improve healthcare delivery models.
The DNP program is offered in the following population foci:
- Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
- Adult-Gerontology-Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
- Family Nurse Practitioner
- Neonatal Nurse Practitioner
