oops! duplicate post-- sorry!

Hi! I hope your project went well. Congrats! I was wondering if I may use some/all of your questions from the survey, please? I am in the beginning stages of doing a similar project in conjunction with the hospital that I work for. If so, may we edit the questions if needed to fit the facility/project needs as well? Thank you! Hannah Cameron, MSN, BSN, RN

Hello DNP Professionals!I am in my first year of a DNP-FNP program, and one of my courses focuses on the DNP role. With the DNP being a fairly new degree within the scope of professional degrees (first program in 2001 in Kentucky), I am curious to know how well accepted you are in practice and in private or public settings. Do you often find yourself explaining what DNP is including the differences between it and other professional nursing designations? What do you tell people when they inquire about the DNP title and what sets it apart from others? And last, I must ask, does the "doctor" part of the title confuse people easily?I hope to field some interesting discussion on the topic, as I will write a summary of the findings for my class. I appreciate your comments and time in responding. Thank you!Hannah Cameron, MSN, RN
