ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to examine the motivations and perceptions of RNs with completed doctorates in an integrated healthcare system.

BACKGROUND:

Historically, PhD preparation was the primary doctorate available for nurses, preparing them to conduct research and hold leadership positions. The recent growth of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs that focus on either advanced clinical practice or executive competencies has significant implications for the future of nursing in practice settings.

METHODS:

A 30-item survey was sent to all 93 RNs at a healthcare system who have completed doctorates.

RESULTS:

A response rate of 71% found DNPs outnumber PhDs 3 to 1. PhDs are significantly more likely to perceive concrete benefits associated with their degrees, and DNPs are more likely to report that their degrees have not made a difference in their jobs.

CONCLUSIONS:

Leaders in practice and education must collaborate to ensure that both DNPs and PhDs are engaged in positions that use their highest level of competence in any setting.
