Belmont University School of Nursing invites applications for its inaugural class in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program beginning this Fall.

The application deadline has been extended until June 29, 2012, although admission decisions will be made as soon as individual applications are complete.

The Belmont DNP is a 20-month post-MSN program offered in a hybrid format convenient for working nurse professionals throughout the United States — combining on-campus intensive weekend experiences approximately 4 times each semester with online coursework and interactions.

For 40 years, Belmont has been preparing nurse professionals, this year enrolling nearly 500 BSN and 100 MSN students.  For 7 consecutive years, 100% of Belmont MSN graduates have passed the national FNP certification examination on their first attempt.  This commitment to quality continues with this new advanced degree.
