Abstract
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree offers an alternative to research-focused curricula for nurses seeking a terminal degree with a focus on advanced clinical practice and leadership. The number of DNP programs and graduates has been growing since the onset of this degree. Some health care organizations have struggled with the best way to incorporate the advanced skills of the DNP graduates into their practice. This article reflects on the author’s experience as a DNP-educated advanced practice registered nurse in a tertiary pediatric hospital. A case study is presented to demonstrate how the DNP education has impacted the level of clinical practice.
