Doctoral Circle of Excellence
The Doctoral Circle of Excellence recognizes nurses with doctoral degrees and honors their highest academic achievement. The advanced degrees include Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of Health Administration (DHA), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and Doctor of Education (EdD) in nursing.
Doctoral-prepared nurses who are part of this Circle of Excellence serve as mentors and experts to assist future nursing advanced degree candidates transform their doctoral dreams into realities as well as support professional growth and development through networking.
An additional goal is to connect those nurse investigators with aligned research interests so that they can work together across facilities to generate new knowledge, and integrate nursing research and evidence- based practices into clinical and operational processes.
