Strategies to Enhance Success Among Dual-Specialty Students in Advanced Practice Nursing Programs
Background:
In attempts to simultaneously address the 2008 Consensus model and meet the growing need for advanced practice nurses with a robust scope of practice, some schools of nursing offer dual advanced practice nursing (APN) programs.
Method:
Built on the successes of multiple dual programs at two universities, this article provides specific practice strategies to enhance academic success among students and faculty in dual-specialty APN programs.
Results:
Faculty- and student-led strategies are outlined, addressing the academic and professional aspects of the dual APN role. With implementation of these strategies, graduation and subsequent dual certification rates in these programs remains extremely high.
Conclusion:
Adaptation of these strategies to support student and faculty efforts can potentiate additional opportunities for successful dual APN programs. [J Nurs Educ. 2016;55(8):463-466.
