Doctor of
Nursing Practice
Southeastern's Doctor of Nursing Practice program prepares nurses at the highest level
of nursing practice. Today's health care is more complex than ever, demanding additional
education for those assuming leadership roles in caring for patients and assuring
quality of care. This program offers doctoral preparation to nurses whose career emphasis
is direct clinical nursing practice or areas that support clinical practice, such
as administration and health policy development. Students in the program have opportunities
for advanced study in evidence-based practice, organizational and systems leadership,
health policy and theoretical foundations for advanced practice.
This program can be completed 100% online.
