Nursing School offers new BS to DNP program

Nursing students at UConn now have some-more options when looking modernized degrees. Students with a bachelor of science in nursing, rather than a previously required master's grade in nursing, will be able to enter a doctor of nursing use module in a School of Nursing. This "bridge" module takes four years for full-time students and is expected to have its first class graduate in May 2016. It is a only BS-DNP module in Connecticut, according to a UConn Today press release. The BS-DNP module will allow registered nurses to focus upon modernized clinical use while earning their modernized degrees, rather than investigate which is a first component of a nursing Ph.D. program, according to Sandra Bellini, coordinator of a DNP module in a UConn Today press release. "Being able to go from a BS to a DNP module is a great way to ceaselessly challenge a minds of nurses and make them some-more active in a clinical setting," said Alyssa Gersten, a 6th-semester nursing major. "With higher education and some-more experience nurses would be able to benefit respect from other healthcare providers and be seen as a key part in a patient's recovering process," she added. Susie Goch, a 4th-semester nursing student, said "Clinical experience is one of a many important aspects of a nurse's training. A module grounded in clinical use really prepares a nursing tyro for hold up after college." UConn's module offers multiform different focuses for nursing students, including specialization in different career paths, like neonatal helper practitioner, adult-gerontology first caring helper practitioner, adult-gerontology acute caring helper practitioner and family helper practitioner, according to a UConn Today press release. To be eligible to become an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, as permitted by a American Association of Colleges of Nursing in 2004, students must hold a DNP grade rather than just a master's degree. UConn's School of Nursing module change comes in response to this recommendation. "Being a nursing tyro at a University of Connecticut, I plan to continue my studies and go upon to be an modernized practicing nurse," said Gersten. "This module will help many some-more who also want to achieve their goals and assist in making healthcare a best it can be." Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc
