37 courses with the subject DNP, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
DNP 801Advanced Human Physiology and Pathophysiology I (3 cr.)
This course is the first in a series of three courses. This initial course builds on the Registered Nurse’s prior baccalaureate curriculum in anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to provide an advanced study in physiology and pathophysiology across the lifespan.
DNP 804Advanced Health Assessment and Clinical Reasoning (3 cr.)
This course builds upon health assessment skills of the practicing critical care nurse and focuses on health assessment across the human lifespan. Skills for efficiently obtaining a patient’s history with regard to social determinants of health including psychosocial, economic, and cultural differences are discussed. Students perform a focused history and physical assessment, incorporating diagnostic information, and determine an appropriate plan of care.
DNP 805Applied Chemistry and Physics for Nurse Anesthesia (3 cr.)
This course examines the principles of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physics as they apply to the practice of anesthesia. Topics include fluid and gas mechanics, physiologic monitoring, anesthesia delivery systems, and inhalation anesthesia. Other applied technologies including surgical lasers, radiology, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine are discussed with an emphasis on patient and provider safety. Application is demonstrated through the use of simulation software and clinical labs.
This course provides advanced practice nurses with an in-depth understanding of pharmacologic principles, including pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacotherapeutics, as they apply to a broad range of clinical conditions. Students explore major drug classes, mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications, and interactions, with a focus on optimizing therapeutic outcomes and minimizing adverse effects. The course also emphasizes the application of pharmacologic knowledge in diverse populations, incorporating factors such as age, comorbidities, and genetic variations. Students engage in case-based learning and scenario discussions to develop clinical reasoning and decision-making skills essential for safe and effective pharmacologic therapy in primary and specialty care settings.
DNP 808Research Design and Statistical Analysis in Nursing (3 cr.)
The focus of this course is critical analysis of the researcher role, the research process, and research ethics within a nursing framework. This course includes statistical methods used in epidemiologic research and health outcome studies. The interpretation of population data is addressed, including incidence, mortality, morbidity, and efficacy. Comparative and causal methods are presented in order to design evidence-based practice studies and evaluate programs. Emphasis is placed on ethical issues encountered by researchers.
DNP 809Advanced Research Writing in Nursing (3 cr.)
This course focuses on developing and refining a writing process for extensive research projects in nursing. Emphasis is on identifying and strengthening one’s voice as an academic writer; establishing a relationship with readers; achieving advanced skills in development, analysis, revision of ideas, and editing to mastery of research writing. APA style is a key component of the class.
DNP 810Healthcare System Leadership 1: Professional Aspects and Role Development of the Nurse Anesthetist (2 cr.)
This course provides the graduate nurse anesthesia student an opportunity to focus on a variety of professional practice components and role development. Reading and discussion topics include the evolution of the profession, practice regulation, wellness and substance use disorder, business practices, and legal implications associated with anesthesia practice. Access to professional resources is also discussed.
DNP 813Scholarly Teaching and Learning in Nursing (2 cr.)
This course gives students the opportunity to explore their role as a learner and an educator in the healthcare environment. Students gain practical experience and develop competency in determining teaching methods that can be used for academic, simulation, clinical, and patient education. Topics covered include instructional design, evaluation, and technology. Professional, cultural, social, and ethical issues are explored as they relate to the academic role.
DNP 814Health Informatics and Technology for Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Systems (2 cr.)
This course covers collection and analysis of data to support administrative, operational, financial, clinical decision-making, and regulatory compliance. Roles that information systems and technologies serve in the health sector; types of computer-based health information systems; and issues related to data privacy, confidentiality, integrity, stewardship, and availability are addressed. Lastly, library research skills are also discussed.
