“…Scholarly writing has been defined by Hunker, Gazza, and Shellenbarger (2014) as writing that is specialised in nursing, communicates original thought, includes support from a body of literature, contains formal language consistent with the discipline of nursing and is formatted in a manner consistent with peer-reviewed publications (p 341). Much has been written about the scholarly writing capacity of novice DNP students and teaching methods to address writing development (Carter-Templeton, 2015;Dowling, Savrin, & Graham, 2013;Redman, Pressler, Furspan, & Potempa, 2015;Shellenbarger, Hunker, & Gazza, 2015;Shirey, 2013;). Our experiences are consistent with these findings, and in 2010, a revision to the DNP curriculum was undertaken to strengthen content related to scholarly communication and writing.…”

“…[1,4,[9][10][11][12] Nurse leaders have articulated the potential and actual confusion related to understanding the DNP degree and differentiation from other advanced nursing degrees. [10,13,14] Yet, the operationalization of the DNP degree has been less than clear and consistent.…”

Background/Objective: The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is the recommended preparation for advanced nursing practice. However, lack of clarity surrounding the DNP degree has contributed to role ambiguity for the DNP prepared nurse. The present study sought to evaluate the written comments obtained from a quantitative analysis that utilized a framework adapted from works on role conflict and ambiguity, role stress and strain, and classical organization theory. Methods: The sample consisted of 113 participant comments. The length of the comments ranged from 1 to 28 lines. Content analysis was performed and the areas of role stress, ambiguity, and strain were identified. Results: Distinct areas for intervention to address DNP role stress and strain with the goal of preventing the harmful outcomes of role ambiguity were identified. For example, comments centered along the lines that the benefits of pursuing a DNP degree did not outweigh costs. There is contention among PhD, DNP, and MSN prepared nurses. The DNP causes role confusion among health care providers and the public and conflict exists about the DNP role and professionalism, faculty preparation, and leadership. Conclusions: The authors provide several recommendations that can reduce role stress, strain, and ambiguity in order to meet the ultimate goal of achieving improved patient/population and policy outcomes. The nursing profession must not only articulate clear and distinct intended outcomes of the DNP degree, but then must also assure that the product of the DNP degree is consistent with those outcomes.

“…Evidence for the value of the DNP-educated APRNs is emerging for health-care systems focused on measuring the impact of these providers and through scholarly works published by practitioners with the clinical doctorate (Redman, Pressler, Furspan, & Potempa, 2014;Williams, 2014;Williams & Howard, 2017). The evidence is compelling relative to efficiencies and quality of care, and points the way forward for continued support of the DNP practitioner.…”
