AB  - In 2004, members of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) voted 
      to endorse a position statement identifying the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) 
      degree as the most appropriate degree for advanced-practice registered nurses 
      (APRNs) to enter practice. At the same time, AACN members voted to approve the 
      position that all master's programs that educate APRNs to enter practice should 
      transition to the DNP by 2015. While the number of DNP programs for APRNs has 
      grown significantly and steadily over this period, at this time, not all nursing 
      schools have made this transition. To better understand why, the AACN contracted 
      with RAND to investigate schools' progress toward this goal and the factors that 
      facilitate or impede this transition. This article describes the results of a 
      mixed-method RAND study undertaken between October 2013 and April 2014 that 
      sought to understand schools' program offerings to prepare APRNs to enter 
      practice and the reasons for those offerings, as well as the barriers or 
      facilitators to nursing schools' full adoption of the DNP.
