DNP Role Development For Doctoral Advanced Nursing Practice

This second edition continues to focus specifically on doctoral level advanced nursing practice. This revision encompasses both the historical advanced nursing practice role and the evolution of the new doctoral level roles, and delineates and highlights the variety of roles the new DNP graduates have assumed and will assume, along with coverage of actual skills that will advance the role of the doctoral level APRN. The core competencies for DNP practice (AACN) govern the organisation and content of the text. Because the role of the DNP graduate continues to evolve, the text reflects the diverse range of current views on the DNP role and the diverse 'ideals' of what the role of the doctorally prepared APRN should be.

• Only text that places singular emphasis on the DNP role development with extensive contributions by practicing DNP Scholars
• Text highlights the evolution of the DNP practice role as it is currently unfolding
• 'Translates' the AACN core competency 'skills' that are requisite for all DNP graduates into real-life practical applications of the DNP practice Role
• Experienced authors teach the APN/DNP Role Development Course and expertly communicate how the roles and competencies translate into practice
• New sets of Reflective Responses from leading clinical and academic nursing and health profession scholars
• Chapter features, include Reflective Response to stimulate class discussion; Critical Thinking Exercises, Examples of DNP Skills Set Implementation, and Discussion Questions
• New and revised critical thinking exercises intended to expand the boundaries of ordinary classroom discourse are included for each chapter
