DNP - Doctor of Nursing Practice

DNP STUDENTS REFLECT ON THE IOWA EXPERIENCE ...



“I'm really excited about doing my DNP at Iowa, and very proud to be a part of the inaugural class. In fact, this is my second time at Iowa as part of an inaugural class. You’ve got to love the innovation and dedication the College of Nursing brings to nursing education.”

Pam Voyce Gedney, BSN ’99, MSN ‘01

“You know what I sense the most with this class? The pride of being in a DNP program, but more importantly -- the pride of being the inaugural program at University of Iowa. Being way down south, it is amazing the very complimentary comments about The University of Iowa. We have all chosen to take this path and this school -- and I feel the difference.”
