Functioning as both a graduate and professional textbook, Role Development for Doctoral Advanced Nursing Practice explores the historical and evolving role of the new doctoral advanced practice registered nurse.

This innovative text presents a distinctive two-part chapter organization that provides content followed by one or more Reflective Responses, which consist of commentaries that may counter or support the opinions of each chapter author. Written by well-known DNP leaders representing the diverse roles and experience of academics, administrators, and practitioners from different DNP programs, these Reflective Responses initiate thought-provoking classroom discussion. This stimulating and provocative text presents issues germane to DNP education, core competencies, and unfolding role development. It is an essential resource in DNP role development courses and courses covering contemporary DNP degree issues.

Key Features:

• Provides background information on the evolution of the DNP degree, essential content on role theory, and what nursing "roles" are and how they are evolving
• Discusses how master's versus doctoral-level advanced nursing practice roles differ
• Focuses on the basic roles of the DNP graduate that currently predominate: practitioner, clinical executive, educator, clinical scientist, and the role of the clinical scholar
• Highlights how the DNP can use his or her new competencies to function at a higher level
• Covers the diverse skills that comprise the doctoral APRN and doctoral APN role, including leadership content, negotiation skills, leveraging technology to support doctoral advanced level practice, and more

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Kathleen M. Woodruff, DNP, RN, ANP-BC(USC School of Social Work)
Description: This book explores the historical and evolving role of the new doctoral advanced practice registered nurse (DAPRN). The multiple authors add to the richness of the book, presenting diverse views of faculty, executives, practitioners, and scholars.
Purpose: The authors describe the current role issues of the DAPRN and reflect on a wide range of ideals and concerns. This book is the first to exclusively examine the evolving and expanding role functions of the DNP graduate. The authors do an excellent job.
Audience: This is intended for use by DNP prepared nurses and DNP students, as well as faculty of DNP programs. This book should provide insight into DNP role development courses and courses covering contemporary DNP issues.
Features: The book focuses on presenting a stimulating and provocative discussion of issues important to DNP education, core competencies, and evolving role development. The first section details the historical background related to the development of the DNP role and how it differs from the masters and PhD degrees. The second section describes and expands on four of the basic roles of the DNP graduate. The final section reviews important competencies such as leadership, technology, and negotiation skills. The reflective responses are a wonderful component of the book, providing valuable commentary that either supports or challenges the opinions of each chapter author(s).
Assessment: This is a unique book that will be valuable to both graduate students and professional advanced practice nurses. Since the role of the DNP graduate is evolving, this is an important contribution to the field. It focuses on the developing discussion of practice and graduate degrees in the field of nursing and provides up-to-date information about the evolving and expanding roles of DNP graduate nurses.
