AB  - Doctoral education in nursing is undergoing a paradigm shift. The doctor of 
      nursing practice (DNP) degree was conceived to improve practice expertise and 
      accelerate the translation of evidence into practice. The need for doctoral 
      preparation that focuses on both expert practice and practice inquiry 
      acknowledges the complexity of evidence-based practice. The DNP prepares 
      graduates to practice at the most advanced level of nursing and to evaluate 
      current practice approaches, to appraise evidence, and to use this knowledge to 
      create clinical strategies that improve practice and health outcomes. DNP 
      curricula need to evolve through shared best practices grounded in financial 
      sustainability. Because of the evolutionary nature of new programs, there is a 
      need for continuous rapid adjustment of the DNP curriculum. Ideas presented here 
      have evolved with student, faculty, and agency input. Many elements of DNP 
      curricula represent a shared world view of faculty across the county. However, 
      consensus about the DNP project has not been reached and is urgently needed to 
      promote acceptance of the DNP-prepared advanced practice registered nurse. The 
      DNP project allows synthesis of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing 
      DNP Essentials through "real world" translation of evidence into practice. This 
      article proposes that DNP projects be defined as practice improvement 
      partnerships between academia and community agencies. This "win-win" 
      collaboration can improve care while preparing the next generation of nurses for 
      the demands of increasingly complex healthcare environments.
