TIGER has issued a new call for applications for faculty in doctoral programs (PhD and DNP) to participate in a year-long training opportunity that commences with a preconference workshop on January 17, 2023 in conjunction with AACN’s Doctoral Conference in San Diego, CA and continues with webinars and web conferences throughout the year. Those interested may apply for a stipend (up to $1500) to cover the costs related to conference attendance. Applications are due by September 1, 2022. Visit the website for more details, including eligibility requirements and post-training expectations. Learn More Back to top 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.
