Abstract
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) nursing degrees have historically been recognized for their unique contributions to the nursing discipline. Historically, the DNP is considered as an advanced clinical practice degree, whereas the PhD is a research-intensive degree. There are clear benefits to DNP and PhD prepared nurses collaborating to address health issues and improve patient outcomes. Institutions that support intentional collaboration are more likely to develop effective teams that utilize their diverse knowledge and skills. Strategies include identifying and addressing barriers, supporting doctoral education, creating a collaborative environment, recruiting with intention, and appreciating the value in both PhD and DNP nurses.
