SPRINGER PUBLISHING COMPANY DNP Role Development for Doctoral Advanced Nursing Practice by H. Michael Dreher Mary Ellen Smith Glasgow

This revision encompasses both the historical advanced nursing practice role and the evolution of the new doctoral level roles, and delineates and highlights the variety of roles the new DNP graduates have assumed and will assume, along with coverage of actual skills that will advance the role of the doctoral level APRN. The core competencies for DNP practice (AACN) govern the organisation and content of the text.
