The DNP students do not complete traditional clinicals, but they are responsible for completing practice experiences. These experiences are not precepted; the hours come from a combination of course assignments and asynchronous learning experiences approved by the course faculty. The student must achieve 1,000 clinical hours as a combination of MSN hours, three DNP internship courses, and, at times, variable courses when students had less than the required MSN hours at the time of application. A gap analysis will be completed to determine hours. All students will complete 540 total practice experience hours between the three internship courses. A DNP Practice Experience Requirement packet will be provided in the first DNP Internship course.
