Mentoring creates opportunities for guidance, collaboration, partnerships, career development, personal growth, problem solving, leadership, and scholarly advancement among others. Mentoring is not a new concept to health care or to nursing. Nurses and others in the health care field depend on various individuals for their career growth and developmental networking. Doctor of nursing practice (DNP) graduates are encouraged to collaborate with other disciplines, assume leadership roles, and serve as mentors at the clinical, educational, or executive level. Mentoring relationships are essential for the DNP graduate to continue growing scholarly, professionally, and personally.

Nursing leaders are essential in promoting the doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurse in various innovative roles (Nichols, O’Connor, & Dunn, 2014). However, according to the recently released RAND study,The DNP by 2015: A Study of the Institutional, Political, and Professional Issues That Facilitate or Impede Establishing a Post-Baccalaureate Doctor of Nursing Practice Program(Auerbach et al., 2014) employers and health care organizations need outreach and data to understand the added competencies and capabilities of DNP-educated nurses. Practicing DNPs are in an excellent position to demonstrate and educate our executive colleagues. The purpose of this article is (a) to foster nursing leadership’s understanding of the uniquely prepared nursing practice doctorate, (b) to illustrate how the DNP-prepared nurse is being integrated/used to their potential within health care systems to maximize clinical and population health outcomes, and (c) to issue a call to action for nursing leadership to engage the DNP-prepared nurse to accomplish organizational goals.

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.

Adults are living longer with multiple chronic conditions. There are many challenges to providing comprehensive care to patients around the country in today’s system. This article, although personal, discusses some challenges seen by the writer but witnessed by many. It also looks at some challenges nurse practitioners have when practicing in multiple states across the country. Lastly, I offer my opinion on certification as a Diplomate of Comprehensive Care for all Doctor of Nursing Practice clinicians who provide comprehensive care in independent practice settings. It is time to provide safe, quality, comprehensive care to our patients in a reputable health care system.

Current Paradigm

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) relies on scientific data to guide diagnosis and treatment and is recognized as the current paradigm in medicine. Accordingly, every current and future physician should be knowledgeable about its principles and methodologies. Embracing research and EBM is essential to modern clinical practice; however, trainees and physicians still struggle with the value of research-related courses and knowledge on epidemiology and research methodology is often poor. In this article we provide a cogent discussion of the importance of research as an indispensable discipline in medical education through a detailed analysis of the literature. We review the evolution of medicine towards EBM and discuss the myriad of benefits that research has on medical careers, leadership roles, mentoring relationships, social networking, and personal growth and development. Participation in research contributes to medicine, public health, and society while simultaneously allowing the achievement of a high level of personal satisfaction
