The program at Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is designed to transform registered nurses into elite clinical leaders and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) . Ranked #2 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report , the program bridges the gap between bedside nursing and high-level healthcare leadership. Program Highlights Post BSN DNP / Post MN DNP

Note: Emory does currently offer acute care NP (AGACNP) from the BSN-to-DNP entry; that requires prior acute care RN experience and is typically a post-master’s certificate.

One of the strongest aspects of Emory’s program is the breadth of specialty tracks available. Upon applying, students select their specific track, which dictates their clinical focus and eventual certification eligibility.
