BSN to DNP program???

Hello everyone!

The college where I am completing my RN to BSN program offers a BSN to DNP option. The college offers two seperate MSN programs, education and administration. The BSN to DNP option combines the 2 MSN programs (minus a few administration courses). I was originally looking into MSN in nursing education programs, but I am thinking that maybe this option might be worthwhile since my primary goal is to teach. I would like to get my education done before I have kids (I'm 22).

My main reason for this post is that I would like to hear some opinions on the DNP. I was reading some of the job descriptions, and they all seem to be related to organizational leadership. I want a doctorate so that my teaching opportunities would not be limited.

Thanks!

Stephanie

If you really want to teach, and you want your options to be more open, I would think a PhD would be a better path than a DNP. The fact that your institution's DNP program combines admin and teaching, seems rather odd, since my understanding of the DNP is that it is an advance/terminal clinical degree. While there is a desire to include a systems-level understanding and approach, the focus is still a clinical one.
