| Brief Summary of Proposal | The College of Nursing proposes to implement a professional nursing clinical doctoral degree program that will move the advanced practice master’s degree program to the clinical doctorate level consistent with recommendations of the accrediting agency. Authorized by the Ohio Board of Nursing (Ohio Revised Code 4723- Nurse Practice Act), advanced practice nurse roles include certified clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse practitioners, certified nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse midwives. Three proposals are being submitted: 1)the NU-10-002 proposal for development of the baccalaureate to DNP which will be phased in at a later date; and two related proposals- A) this second proposal NU-10-003 Post MSN Professional Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)Certificate for those master's prepared advanced practice nurses holding national certification as Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists or Nurse Midwives.

| Resource comment | Implementation will be possible using current faculty resources. Courses currently taught in the master's program will be retitled, revised and renumbered with 700 level numbers as the first phase of the program is transitioned to the full post baccalaureate to DNP program. For example the 606 Introduction to Nursing Information will be phased out and all studnets will take 8200:700 Information Management in Health Care and will be taught by the doctoral faculty who now teaches the master's level course. She taught the doctoral level course at another university. Selected PhD courses will be used such as 8200: 827 Advanced Health Care Statistics, 848 Program Development and 835 Nursing and Health Care Policy. In fact these doctoral course will now be populated with many more students.
