Overview
This course reviews three terminal degrees relevant to nursing practice, PhD, DNP, and EdD, in terms of typical scope, purpose, and career progression.Goals and Learning Outcomes
A key element of the Future of Nursing (FON) report focuses on the need to double the number of doctorate-prepared nurses by 2020. The recommendation stems from a need to increase the number of nurses eligible for roles as faculty and researchers. Attaining this recommendation is projected to affect other key suggestions of the report such as increased nurse commitment to lifelong learning, nurse empowerment to spearhead changes, and nurse enablement to collect and analyze healthcare data. In theory, this is a win-win situation. In reality, the doctorates earned need to align with professional goals and passions of the nurse to meet the needs of the nursing profession from the FON report.
