AB  - One of the most significant events to affect advanced practice nursing is the 
      practice doctorate. The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is firmly established as 
      an educational alternative to the traditional academic research doctoral degree. 
      This option empowers nurses to advance knowledge and skills in clinical practice. 
      This article reviews the historical context that led to the introduction of the 
      DNP and the proposal of the DNP as entry into practice for advanced practice 
      nurses, DNP program parameters, and some of the evolving issues related to 
      nursing's practice doctorate.
