Aim:
This article presents details about the literature on challenges and strategies for DNP-PhD nurse collaborations. A secondary aim is to present a case study about a BSN research course co-created by the authors, who are PhD and DNP nurses.
Background:
Compared to the well-established role of the PhD-prepared nurse, the role of the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is in its infancy. Collaboration between DNP and PhD faculty offers tremendous value to students.
Method:
A scoping review of the literature and case study was performed.
Results:
Collaborations between PhD and DNP nurses are beneficial. Our case study of a course combining PhD and DNP perspectives resulted in enhanced learning experiences.
Conclusion:
Collaborations between PhD and DNP nurses can be easily integrated into academic and clinical settings. Frequent opportunities for PhD and DNP collaborations across all levels of nursing education and practice are needed.
