Abstract Background Complex healthcare landscape increasingly demands leaders who are adept at managing change in health care environments. The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) prepares nurses for the most advance level of clinical nursing practice. The aim of this study was to explore the necessity of the establishment of the DNP program in Iran from expertise’s view.Methods This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. The participants included thirteen faculty members and PhD candidates who were selected through a purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results Qualitative data analysis resulted in two main categories: “provide infrastructures” and “DNP: as an opportunity to drive positive changes” with two categories respectively.Conclusion The findings showed although DNP as an opportunity to drive positive changes is necessary in the nursing education, but inadequate resources, cultural, social, and economic differences in the developing countries especially in Iran, are important limitations of the implementation of the DNP. Therefore, a multidisciplinary collaboration to provide a well-integrated means of meeting the needs of the patients recommended for better designing of the DNP and break down the obstacles.

Abstract Background Complex healthcare systems increasingly demand influential nurse leaders adept at managing changes in unstable environments. The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) prepares the nurses for the most advanced level of clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore the necessity of establishing a DNP program in Iran from experts’ views. Methods The study used a qualitative descriptive approach. The participants consisted of 13 faculty members and Ph.D. candidates selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through focus group and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results The content analysis led to the extraction of two main categories: “providing infrastructures” and “DNP as an opportunity to make positive outcomes.“ Conclusions It is concluded that it is not necessary to establish a DNP program for Iran’s nursing education system. Supplying infrastructures is a crucial component to establishing a new program in Iran. Although DNP, as an opportunity to drive positive changes, is recommended, in the current situation, using alternative solutions may yield better outcomes than establishing a DNP program.

The Impact

Abstract Objective A shortage of doctorally prepared nursing educators is a significant challenge for Canadian undergraduate nursing education. Given the propensity for Canadian nurses to pursue doctoral education in the United States of America (USA), coupled with the extant nursing faculty shortages, the emergence of the American Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is a potential alternative to the traditional PhD degree. The aim of this modified e-Delphi study is to explore perceptions of this degree as educational preparation for a faculty role. To this end, the research questions explore the key attributes in the selection of nursing faculty, the impact of tenure and promotion on faculty possessing practice-based terminal degrees, and the potential academic role for DNP-prepared faculty within the Canadian context. Results The findings suggest that research ability is an essential attribute for a faculty role, especially in a university setting, because of the emphasis placed on it within systems of tenure. An unexpected finding is the desire to recognize alternate forms of scholarship within systems of tenure. The participants also expressed that DNP-prepared faculty are suited to teaching track positions. On this basis, further research should be undertaken to expand on the findings of this exploratory study.

We read with great interest Mundinger and Carter’s exposition of how, in their view, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) education has lost its way and what consequences might result. Mundinger and Carter note that DNP programs are overwhelming focused on nonclinical practice. We share the concern of Mundinger and Carter about the future of nurse practitioner (NP) education within the context of expanding DNP programs. In this commentary, we raise concerns about NP transition to practice and the limited, but concerning, evidence that new NPs struggle in their transition to practice. We note that this concern is magnified as NPs continue to move into specialty roles. Health systems have responded to this concern by developing residency and fellowship programs. Fifteen years after the AACN position statement on the clinical doctorate was issued, the goal of DNP education remains an unfinished project. An important question remains: Can, will, and how should DNP programs deliver?

There is an increasing number of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degrees available in the United States, enabling its graduates to effect change in their own clinical practice locally and influencing change nationally. This is the aim of such programs, for its graduates to be at the forefront of practice change and endeavor. The question then is how far can a program extend itself before its teachings become irrelevant? Is it outside the state or tristate area, west or east coast of the United States, North America, or beyond? The purpose of this article is to examine how a clinical doctorate taught in the United States is translatable to Australian health care system.
