The DNAP degree is a professional practice degree in nurse anesthesia. It provides the foundational sciences, anesthesia specific courses, and clinical practicums geared to prepare the graduate to pass the National Certification Examination (NCE). Additionally, the related scholarship focuses on utilization of research findings for evidence-based clinical practice, education, and/or administration/business management related to nurse anesthesia, and the DNAP curriculum is designed accordingly. In addition to the requisite foundational courses, completion of a Scholarly Project is required. The Scholarly Project is the culminating scholarly work that demonstrates the ability to translate research findings into practice. PUDCJBR faculty mentor each DNAP student to complete a Scholarly Project that focuses on utilization of research findings to augment evidence-based nurse anesthesia clinical practice, nurse anesthesia education, and/or administration/business management related to nurse anesthesia.
