The goal of the nurse practitioner clinical practicum experience is to engage students in varied, quality clinical experiences in primary care settings. Students must complete a minimum of 1000 practicum hours (DNP) to meet the requirements for graduation. The expectation is that students will progress from requiring close supervision in the first practicum experience to seeing a schedule of clients independently with your support by the end of their last clinical rotation. TheDoctor of Nursing Practice Degreerequirements are outlined in the SPU Graduate Catalog.
