Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers skilled nursing care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Medicare-covered services include, but aren't limited to: 1  Semi-private room (a room you share with other patients). 2  Meals.
The Doctor of Science degree (DSc or ScD) is recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education as a research doctorate equivalent to the Ph.D. Sometimes, in the U.S., the Doctor of Science is awarded as an honorary degree. Outside the U.S. it is an earned doctorate (as me again states above).
Doctor of Nursing Practice. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a terminal professional degree in nursing. The DNP is one of two doctorate degrees in nursing, the other being the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing). The curriculum for the DNP degree builds on traditional master's programs by providing education in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership.
