DNP by 2015- official retraction?

[SHGR]

Hi all,

As we all know, there is no mandate for APRN's to have a DNP by 2015 (only the CRNA's even have an official date to transition to the DNP by 2025).

I am trying to find an official "proof" that there is no such mandate for the other three groups of APRN's. However, all the online material from the AACN on the matter is quite outdated. They don't seem to have posted a "whoops, this didn't really happen" unless I am missing it.

I have prelicensure students who are asking for an "official" word on the matter and the fact that MSN grads are still able to sit for NP and CNS certifications this year-- and be hired and legally working-- is unsufficient to counter their belief that this "mandate" actually happened.

Is there any official retraction?

sincerely,

SHGR

And yet more and more DNP programs open and more students enroll in the DNP program.

I've heard the opposite. That DNP programs are closing and transitioning back to MSN-NP, because of lack of applicants.

As a future NP student, I see little incentive to pursue a DNP.

No pay increase, no increased scope of practice.

Of course schools like the DNP concept -- it keeps students in school longer and brings more money into the schools. The schools are pushing the idea, and students are buying the propaganda.
