An interesting article that opines about the DNP. Here's a fairly provocative quote:
"When viewed together, doctorally prepared nurses do not spend the majority of their time in direct patient care, but rather in research (11%), education (32%), and administration (30%). With these demanding roles, they cannot be expected to maintain expert levels of clinical competence required for teaching APN students. While research and practice are critical components of nursing, each requires a different skill set and education."
The Mayo clinic offers a form of residency for new grads.
Mayo School of Health Sciences educates and prepares allied health professionals. The school enrolls students who excel in academic achievement to become providers of the best care to patients.

One of the study's implications was the importance of an overall support system with specific concern for appropriate training for those who provide direct clinical education.

This article is an excellent resource for new graduate NPs to help them transition from student to proficient NP during the first year of practice. The article is from 3 different perspectives including patient, colleague, and clinic factors which all contribute to the transition period for new graduates.
This article reviews the importance and benefits of having a real strong and supportive mentor during that transition from student ARPN to practitioner. This is a hard time for many to adjust to and having a mentor is a key element for new practitioners to safely make the transition and to maximize their learning.
