Re: DNP required soon?
So far, the DNP-as-minimum-entry-to-advanced-practice is simply a
proposal -- a few professional organizations have released position papers and there's a lot of discussion going on. That and 50 cents will buy you a cup of coffee. Nothing is official yet, or likely to become official anytime soon.
The organizations pushing this tend to be the academic groups; as meandragonbrett notes, some of the professional groups representing real live, practicing clinicians have gone on record as opposing the idea.
Remember, we are the same group that has been debating BSN-as-entry-level for some 30 years now, and
that ain't happened yet ...
