Hello, I am a BSN student and will be graduating in May 2011. I would like to transition into grad school right away. I am interested in becoming a Psych-MH Nurse Practitioner. So, I know that I should go for the DNP degree. I know that this degree is heavily focused on practice. However, I like research and have done a considerable amount as an undergrad. I was wondering if DNPs do any research. I'm assuming if they do, it would be focused on practice and implementation. Is this correct? Do PhDs get to practice at all? I apologize if someone has already asked/answered this question! Thanks!
