Nurses are at the frontline of healthcare — graduating from The Valley Foundation School of Nursing with your Doctor of Nursing Practice degree will set you on the path of leadership, training, technical knowledge, and education.
The DNP program is an evidence-based, implementation curriculum, rooted in the strengths of a traditional master’s program, providing education in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership, among other key areas.
Our affordable, two-year, online DNP program prepares nurses for advanced practice roles as clinical scholars and health policy leaders.
*Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) were developed based on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (2006)
