Plan of Study
The DNP core courses provide the foundation of health care policy, evidence-based practice, leadership and systems management that prepares the advanced practice nurse to deliver optimal care in the ever-changing health care.
The NAP is three-year full-time program (nine semesters, 113 credits) that integrates didactic and clinical instruction. The first four semesters of didactic instruction include core DNP courses and experience in the human patient simulation laboratory, where students learn anesthesia techniques and procedures prior to entering the clinical setting.
Students administer sedation, regional and general anesthesia to pediatric and adult patients for all surgical specialties. Over the course of study, students administer on average more than 800 anesthetics over at least 2,000 clinical hours.
