Education for Advanced Practice
2 likes773 views
The document discusses the evolution of advanced nursing degrees, including support for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) as the entry-level degree for advanced practice nurses by 2015. It notes declines in PhD enrollment and time to completion while the first DNP program was established in 2001 at the University of Kentucky. The DNP model originated from work establishing the need for more nurses with BSN and faculty degrees, as recommended in Institute of Medicine reports from 1999 to 2003.
