AB  - BACKGROUND: There is limited information about the careers, roles and views of 
      doctor of nursing practice (DNP) graduates. METHOD: This study describes the 
      labor participation, post-graduation work activities, and perceptions of 1,308 
      DNP members of three professional nursing organizations who completed a 2017 
      survey (32% response rate). FINDINGS: More than 70% of respondents reported 
      substantial improvements in quality improvement, evidenced based practice and 
      leadership abilities. Twenty-two percent of respondents noted the degree was 
      required by their employer and most of these held educational positions. 
      Postgraduate participation in activities associated with DNP education, 
      assessment of personal impact and degree necessity varied by position title and 
      organization membership. DISCUSSION: These differences have implications for 
      nursing associations and professional solidarity.
