FYI: BU Adds Two New Programs to School of Nursing - WIVT/WBGH Newschannel34

Binghamton University is celebrating two new programs at its Decker School of Nursing.

This fall, the Doctor of Nursing Practice will get underway. The DNP program will let advanced practice nurses get clinical and leadership expertise beyond the master's degree level. That's significant because the American Association of Colleges of Nursing has recommended that advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners, be at a doctoral educational level by 2015. BU also has just launched a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program.
