DNP Issues: Education, Tenure, Practice, Credentialing, Titling & Conducting Research.Course Objectives:Analyze the history of nursing education with emphasis on the development of the doctor of nursing practice.
1.) Analyze the history of nursing education with emphasis on the development of the doctor of nursing practice.
2.) Critique the roles of advanced practice nurses in current healthcare systems.
3.) Examine strategies for initiating and implementing an interprofessional team to improve patient and population healthcare outcomes.
4.) Evaluate collaborative efforts of an interprofessional team.
Introduction:
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree was created in 2004, and because of the newness of the degree, some confusion and disagreement exists as to the roles DNP prepared nurses fulfill. There is also a lack of understanding about the impact they can make in patient and population health, clinical outcomes, and the healthcare system. This week Dreher and Smith-Glasgow (2017) discuss the role strains/stress DNP prepared nurses are feeling in their current practice. Some DNP prepared nurses express being frustrated and concerned about how some work environments do not accept the DNP prepared nurse in advance role settings as being different from the Master of Nursing (MSN) prepared nurse (Dreher & Smith-Glasgow, 2017).
As DNP students, you may need to educate other healthcare providers/systems on the roles DNP prepared nurses play, and the purpose of practice projects, to find mentors and earn buy in for evidence-based projects, particularly because DNP projects are not primary research projects. Moving forward there will be a great need for reflection, which can enhance practice, as reflection identifies experiences, skills, and knowledge in practice. Reflection expands existing knowledge, which may also lead to conceptual changes that narrow the theory-practice gap, by identifying what was learned by practice experiences, and figuring out what learned information can be applied in future practice. As time moves forward, DNP prepared nurses will trail blaze a defined path that significantly contributes to nursing practice, research, and education.
