Abstract
Objective: We examine the gap between the current and desired state of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) education from the perspective of postdoctoral (DNP) teaching and education fellows.
Observations: In the assessment of the DNP Essentials framework, command of scholarly and scientific writing, ability to demonstrate critical thought, and significant variation in clinical experience among DNP graduates are top concerns.
Discussion: These inconsistencies are problematic to the professional and public value of this terminal degree in nursing.
