http://www.professionalnursing.org/article/S8755-7223(15)00005-8/fulltext (For full access, search for Journal of Professional Nursing through Emory Library website) The above research article describes the perception of nursing professionals of varying levels of educational achievement of the education and role of DNP's through use of a cross sectional study. To me, it demonstrates that not only is nursing nomenclature confusing to non-nursing individuals, even within our own field, we do not present with a united front about the roles of our doctorally prepared professionals. In order to grow as a profession, we need to standardize our education and support each other's educational achievement.
