Mount Marty College
Yankton, South Dakota
Accreditation: COA
Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP)[BSN to DNP option]
The only Catholic college in South Dakota, Mount Marty promises a Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree infused with Benedictine values. After a first year packed with didactic coursework, post-bachelor's students start their first clinical practicum midway through their fifth semester. From that point on, they take one per term for the nine-semester program. During their final year, they take these practicums alongside capstone practicums. The DNAP program has relationships with 32 clinical sites across South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota. Apart from clinicals, students spend a lot of time with classmates - they proceed as a cohort from Mount Marty classrooms in Sioux Falls. MSN-educated nurses can enter the MS to DNAP track, which lasts just one year - students complete a three-part capstone practicum but face fewer clinical rotations.
