Graduate level programs that equip students for nursing jobs include the PhD and DNP degrees. The PhD program is a research-focused curriculum that equips students with the skills necessary to perform original research and advance nursing knowledge. The DNP program educates students to provide direct patient care and to take on leadership roles in healthcare organizations. It is a practice-focused curriculum. Students must finish curriculum in nursing theory, research techniques, and statistics for both programs. Students must take additional coursework in research design and methods for the PhD program, nevertheless. Students must also finish a research project for both programs. The research focus is where the two initiatives most significantly diverge. PhD candidates are required to finish a research project that substantially advances nursing knowledge. A research project aimed at enhancing patient outcomes is required of DNP students. While the DNP program can be finished in as little as two years, the PhD program normally takes four to six years to complete. The focus of the two programs differs, which accounts for the length disparity. Students in the PhD program must finish a dissertation, which might take many years to complete, and the curriculum is heavily focused on research. The
