New AACN Report on the State of DNP Education
|
|
In June, AACN released a new report highlighting the latest national data on trends in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs; insights from employers, graduates, and program administrators on the value and impact of DNP education; and recommendations for ongoing engagement with practice partners and certification organizations to support the DNP for entry into advanced practice nursing.
Key report findings include:
- The number of DNP programs and enrolled students has steadily increased. DNP graduates are highly satisfied with their education.
- Increases in the number of DNP programs and students have occurred in both BSN-to-DNP and MSN-to-DNP tracks. Since 2010, the majority of DNP students were enrolled in BSN-to-DNP tracks.
- Racial/ethnic and gender diversity of DNP students continue to increase.
- DNP graduates add unique value in key areas such as evidence-based practice, organizational change, quality improvement, and leadership.
- Isolating differences in the clinical skills of MSN and DNP graduates is difficult.
- Data do not currently exist to carry out DNP outcome studies.
- Some employers are uncertain about the skill set of DNP graduates and what roles they are prepared to assume.
- Stakeholders have numerous suggestions on how to improve DNP education, including greater standardization in curriculum and rigor.
