for increasingly complex practice, faculty, and leadership roles
enhanced knowledge to improve nursing practice and pt outcomes
enhanced leadership skills to strengthen practice and health care delivery
better match of program requirements and credits and time with credentials earned
provision of an advanced education credential for those who require advanced practice knowledge but
not a research focus

increase supply of faculty for nursing instruction
DNP Essentials 1 - 8 - ANS-1. Scientific underpinnings for practice
2. Organizational and systems leadership for quality improvement and systems thinking
