PG - 108-112 LID - 10.1891/2380-9418.10.2.108 [doi] AB - Educational preparation for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) continues to shift from the master's degree to the doctor of nursing practice (DNP). Previous analysis of the roles, functions, and competencies of APRNs by Honig, Smolowitz, and Smaldone (2011) identified differences in practice between Master's of Science in Nursing (MSN)- and DNP-prepared APRNs. The aim of this study was to use the survey instrument created by Honig et al. to survey DNP/APRNs from across the nation and gain insight into their roles, competencies, and functions. A convenience sample was drawn from DNP graduates from the 13 schools provided by the American Board of Comprehensive Care (ABCC) as eligible to sit for the ABCC examination. A total of 375 individuals from 33 states who reported that they were in practice as a nurse practitioner (NP) completed the survey. Differences between the initial study and this study indicated that DNP NPs currently provide care across settings but with less inpatient care, less subacute care, and less palliative care than was reported in the initial analysis. Pregnancy-related care was the least common clinical service provided. Overall, this research indicates that DNP NPs prepared in comprehensive care are providing direct clinical care across settings to complex patients consistent with the comprehensive care domains for the ABCC certification examination (Honig et al., 2011).
