Combined DNP and WHNP?

[joyrochelle]

Has anyone here attended school at either University of MN or University of South Alabama? They both offer a combined DNP with WHNP, which just might entice me to go back for the doctorate.

Alternatively, does anyone know of other combined DNP/WHNP programs that are recommended?

Thanks!

I know Frontier has a WHNP, I believe it's a DNP. That's not my specialty, so I could be wrong.

I think Frontier Uinversity would be your best best.

A DNP in what combined with WHNP? Women's Health is a specialty in which you can earn a DNP. Am I misreading your question?

You can choose to pursue a DNP in any sub specialty a nurse practitioner can practice in.

I'm still looking for options... I think that U of MN's program looks amazing, but it requires a bit more on campus time per semester than I can likely handle, being in CT with two small children. I'm also very interested in Frontier. Am I missing any other options here?

with thanks!

To clarify- A DNP is a degree, it's only been very recently that certain universities is co-mingling specialized studies as a part of the actual DNP, verses combining a post- Master's certificate with the DNP coursework.
