Last year when I decided to enroll in the DNP –Executive Nurse Leadership program, I was often asked—why, you already have a master’s degree in nursing?
It was time for me to build on the education that I obtained as an MSN graduate and perform at the most advanced level as a nurse executive. The MSN program provided me with advanced specialized skills, and I became clinically proficient in managing the health needs of patients, coordinate care, mentor nurses, and evaluate EBP research. Second, it was considered the entry level for management and education positions. The course of MSN study was usually two years, with or without a thesis requirement. The DNP builds on the skills from the MSN and is the highest educational degree for nursing
