Yesterday, Scott Manning of U.S News University Directory reported that Georgia Southern University recently announced they would be creating an online Doctorate of Nursing program after receiving a three-year grant worth $792,000 from the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA). This degree program will offer flexibility to current nurses who have rigorous work schedules and want to obtain a DNP part-time. The awarding and utilization of this grant coincide with recommendations made by the IOM's Initiative on the Future of Nursing committee's report: "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health." It is very encouraging to see the Federal government and a private institution working together on an innovative approach to reduce the looming shortage of DNPs and nurse educators.
