Demetrius Kirk, DNPc is back to share his journey to pursuing graduate education in a series called, Becoming: Doctor of Nursing Practice. We're going to follow his journey to becoming a doctorally prepared nurse leader. Each semester he will return to share his experience as we watch his career, vision, and practice evolve.
-----------------
The National Academy of Medicine (Institute of Medicine), Joint Commission, National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice, and other authorities have called for reconceptualizing health professions education to meet the needs of the healthcare delivery system. Nursing is answering that call by moving to prepare APRNs for evolving practice.
DNP curricula expands learning essential to preparing expert clinicians and nurse leaders, including coursework focused on evidence-based practice, quality improvement, leadership, policy advocacy, informatics, and systems thinking.
The DNP is designed for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice and offers an alternative to research-focused doctoral programs. DNP-prepared nurses are well-equipped to fully implement the science developed by nurse researchers prepared in PhD and other research-focused nursing doctorates.
The title of Doctor is common to many disciplines and is not the domain of any one health profession. Many APRNs currently hold doctoral degrees and are addressed as doctors, which is similar to how clinical psychologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other experts are addressed. Like other providers, DNPs are expected to display their credentials to ensure that patients understand their preparation as nursing providers.
Nursing and medicine are distinct health disciplines that prepare clinicians to assume different roles and meet different practice expectations. DNP programs will prepare nurses for the highest level of nursing practice.
