They require a minimum of 125 hours of practice immersion. D.N.P. graduates are required to complete 1000 post-Bachelor of Science in Nursing practicum hours. Hours from the M.S.N. credited toward these practice hours must be verified by the university where the student completed the M.S.N. Some students may be required to complete additional practice hours in order to meet the 1,000-hour requirement. Students may enroll in NSG 7442—Continuing Matriculation until required hours are completed. All but 125 of the required 1,000 clinical hours must be completed prior to starting NSG 7450. Students will work with an adviser to plan their individual program of study. Each year, a summer institute is held at the end of May or beginning of June on the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus. Attendance for this three–five day institute is mandatory. Students without an M.S.N. degree are required to take NSG 7299—Transition to D.N.P.
