Just the Facts

Preparing working nurses — women and men — to strategize and assume responsibility for:

Advancing nursing practice. For those who will lead the way in putting research and evidence-based practice to work for patients.

Advocating for change. For self-starters who want to lead change in today’s complex, rapidly changing healthcare systems.

 

  

Announcing the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

The College of St. Catherine School of Health is proud to launch its newest degree program, and its second doctoral program, to meet the changing and complex needs of the healthcare environment today. With the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), we reach back more than a century to our earliest roots in healthcare education and extend that legacy forward, to a new era.

Just as the College’s mission statement directs us to educate all students “to lead and influence,” so, too, does the DNP allow the School of Health to prepare nurses for ethical leadership grounded in social responsibility.
