Earning your bachelor’s degree in nursing is an excellent first step to a productive career in the growing field of nursing. However, if you want to maximize your career and salary potential, you will want to consider obtaining your Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree.

Unlike a traditional Ph.D. in nursing, whose purpose mainly is research and teaching, a DNP is a clinical degree that teaches you highly advanced clinical nursing skills that you can use on patients and teach to other nurses in a highly paid administrative position.

Many advanced nursing degree programs require you to have a master’s degree and then work another four years or so to earn your DNP. These days, there are many high quality BSN-to-DNP programs out there that allow you to earn both a master’s and a DNP at the same time.

The emphasis in a typical BSN to DNP program is on advanced nursing competencies for complex practice of nursing. Also, you will learn about how to expertly use research to improve the quality of clinical care and patient outcomes – affordably.
