The DNP Program at La Salle University has a strong clinical practice component with access to practice environments that provide opportunities for knowledge and skill development. The curriculum includes an extensive practice immersion. The capstone project, an important requirement evidencing student expertise, is a practice-application. Students will attend classes scheduled in a cohort style. DNP students must complete a minimum of 1,000 hours of post baccalaureate clinical practice supervised by preceptors. DNP students are required to do a minimum of 500 hours of precepted clinical practicum during the DNP program, even if they document 1000 hours or more of precepted clinical practicum in their MSN program, or post MSN work. Students entering the program with APRN certification but with fewer than 500 clinical hours will require an individualized plan of study.
An electronic portfolio is required of students to:
- provide opportunities for developing individualized learning goals and reflecting on personal progress;
- document profiles related to specific educational and professional activities; and,
- to serve as a written trajectory of educational accomplishments
