LaSalle University

What you'll study

Coursework and clinical experiences are designed in alignment with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) position on doctoral education and the DNP Essentials, and with standards of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Programs. All La Salle DNP plans include at least 500 clinical hours. For Post-BSN students, after an initial 24-month period of study they undertake a 29-month on-site clinical residency at the Frank J. Tornetta campus, followed by completion of the DNP Scholarly Project.
