Post-bachelor's DNP Options

We offer three post-bachelor’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program options that allow you to continue your education while taking on an expanded role in clinical practice, policy or leadership.

For nurse practitioners who want to provide person-centered care to acutely ill adolescents through adults

For nurse practitioners who want to provide high-quality primary care to adolescents through adults

For nurse practitioners who want to focus on promoting health in the community for individuals of all ages

Final Skills Assessment

All nurse practitioner students are required to complete a final skills assessment, which is two days before graduation, so you can participate in graduation ceremonies on the same trip. This skills assessment includes testing with standardized patients, a comprehensive exam and sessions on special clinical skills.

Project Presentation

Prior to graduation, you will present your work in an open forum to GW Nursing faculty and your peers. This experience occurs just prior to graduation in mid- to late May, so you can plan to attend both.
