Abstract:
There has been a great deal of curiosity about the new Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I have been asked by my colleagues to share my story. "What is a DNP? What prompted you to seek a DNP? Why not a PhD? How will this degree help you in your career? Where will you practice?" Approached with so many questions and general curiosity, I decided to share my story.
