DNP graduates are highly satisfied with their education.听 Increases in the number of DNP programs and students have occurred in both听BSN-to-DNP and MSN-to-DNP tracks. Since 2010, the majority of DNP students were enrolled in BSN-to-DNP tracks.听 Racial/ethnic and gender diversity of DNP students continue to increase.听 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.听 Data do not currently exist to carry out DNP outcome studies.听 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. 听 Related News
