Difference between Ph.D. and DNP
The Ph.D. in Nursing is the accepted degree for nurse scientists. A Ph.D. in nursing prepares nurse scientists who will generate evidence to guide effective and safe nursing care. Students in the Ph.D. program produce a dissertation.
A Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree prepares "practice" experts who will translate evidence into practice across a variety of patient care settings. Students in the DNP program produce a project.
