This episode is about “MSN vs DNP: Which NP programs to choose?”
If you are thinking of becoming a nurse practitioner (NP) in the U.S., you should know that there are two types of NP programs: Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs🧑⚕️👨⚕️👩⚕️
As you might have guessed, you will get a master’s degree when you graduate from an MSN program and a doctorate from a DNP program.
The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties called for moving to the DNP degree as the entry-level preparation for NPs by 2025, which is this year!😳
But in reality, this effort has not been completed yet, and both programs still exist.
In this episode, I talked about the pros and cons of MSN and DNP programs for NP education to help you make the best career decision for you that matches your life goal✊

About ME:
Hi I’m Miki Miura, DNP, APRN, FNP-C👋
I’m a family nurse practitioner (FNP) in Hawaii, USA.
I was born and raised in Japan🇯🇵. I moved to the U.S. to become an NP when I was 25 years old after working as a registered nurse in Japan✈️
English is my second language, and becoming an NP in the U.S. as a foreign-born international student wasn’t easy. But, I was able to achieve my dream as well as many dreams that I couldn’t even imagine before, which include being awarded the State Award for Excellence for the State of Hawaii by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners in 2024🏆
My mission is to empower nurses from all over the world to achieve their dreams of building successful and fulfilling nurse practitioner careers✨
One of my mottoes is “WORK HARD, PLAY HARD” (which, by the way, is my favorite phrase I learned from American culture😄). While I see patients at two clinical practices, run an online coaching business, and do many other things, I surf three to four times a week🏄♀️ and go on a vacation every three to four months🏝️
This ideal work-life balance is possible for you….if you learn how to study/work smart!!!💪
