CLINICALLY based DNP

Man oh man I know this can start a pages long thread but I can't find the old thread I'm looking for!

I know the DNP is a clinically based terminal degree for nursing. I get that. But I want to learn more about patho, pharm, etc. rather than applying research to practice (which is valuable don't get me wrong!). In an old thread (again one I can't find) someone linked to a DNP that seemed more like what I'd enjoy.

Any thoughts? Again NOT trying to drudge up the old debate. Just interested in possible schools that focus more on the science-y aspect of NP work!

IF I go back in a couple of years it would be nice to wind up with a terminal degree rather than post masters cert.

FINAL REMINDER: I am NOT trying to get into the debate lol. Just looking for leads cause I've lost the one I had!

    I agree with all of you about the lack of clinical focus they are trying to convince us is present in most DNP programs. I think the fellowships that are available would be the perfect way to deepen our knowledge (as NPs), solidify practice, and implement/evaluate all the theory we are learning to discern. So, when I graduate in the upcoming Spring with my MSN, I am probably going right back in. I decided that if I want to find a way to implement this type of model, the MSN won't get me invited to the meetings where these things are discussed.

    From talking to colleagues, there are really two type of people who want to do the DNP... There are the ones who actually want to get a terminal and learn medicine along the way and there are others who want the DNP so they can call themselves doctors as a way of parity with physicians...

    I myself will do the NP cause I don't see the usefulness of the DNP if it's not clinically oriented...
