      promise.

AB  - The success of the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs have exceeded 
      everyone's expectations and resulted in increased interest in doctoral education 
      in nursing. A shortage of doctorally prepared nurse educators continues to plague 
      the profession and has a severe impact on the ability of schools of nursing to 
      educate future generations of nurses. As a terminal degree in nursing practice, 
      there is little focus on DNP graduates who are prepared as educators. To remedy 
      this deficit, this article will therefore discuss and highlight (a) the 
      significant potential of the DNP to mitigate the current nursing faculty shortage 
      and to close the practice-education gap, (b) the specialized role of DNP 
      graduates as educators and leaders in nursing education, and (c) the implications 
      of the DNP for nursing scholarship.
