Abstract

The most exciting part of any nurse practitioner (NP) program is when the time comes to start clinical experiences. This chapter will first discuss traditional clinical education in a nurse practitioner program (master's NP program and post-BSN Doctorate NP program). Later, clinical education for the NP in a DNP program will be discussed.
