USUHS Application:
The decision to pursue doctoral education in nursing is daunting. The degrees from which to choose (Doctor of Nursing Practice [DNP] Doctor of Philosophy [PhD]), the types of pedagogy from which to select (face to face, online, hybrid), as well as the focus areas, makes it difficult for prospective students to navigate the pathway to admission, progression and graduation. Faculty at The Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing (DKI-GSN) are breaking down common barriers to advanced nursing education by offering a one-day workshop that provides key information to help nurses make informed decisions with confidence.

Testimonies from Participants
Good Morning Dr. Taylor,
"I want to thank you for coming out to do the Ready to Launch workshop here at Landstuhl. It was extremely informative and motivating, I am excited to take the next steps in my career and see how the future unfolds." CPT T, LRMC, Jan 2026
Dr. Taylor,
Thank you for the inspiring lecture yesterday at Ready to Launch. I had never seriously considered pursuing a doctoral route before, but something truly “clicked” during your presentation. It made me realize that this path is the way forward—and it prompted me to ask myself, “Why not me?”
Thank you again for your insight and motivation. Please continue inspiring nurses and medics to aim higher and believe in their potential.
