    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Doctoral Programs
    • Healthcare Leadership

    Background:

    • Current doctoral nursing programs are structured as research doctorates.
    • These programs attempt to serve diverse career paths, leading to a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
    • This broad focus may dilute specialized training essential for various nursing roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the evolutionary trends in doctoral nursing education.
    • To identify shortcomings in current doctoral programs regarding specialized career preparation.
    • To advocate for improved educational models to enhance nursing's contribution to public health.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical review of curriculum content and its alignment with career tracks.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of the impact of program structure on graduate preparedness.

    • Main Results:

    • Doctoral nursing programs are often overly general, lacking sufficient depth for specific career tracks.
    • The "all things to all people" approach hinders the development of competent researchers and applied practitioners.
    • Graduates may lack the specialized foundation needed for leadership, research, or advanced clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Current doctoral nursing education requires reform to better prepare graduates for diverse roles.
    • Specialized tracks are essential for developing skilled researchers, leaders, and practitioners in nursing.
    • Improved doctoral education is crucial for advancing the nursing profession and its contribution to American health.
