Assessment - Employers
CNO Interviews - Methods Round 1: Survey refinement (respondent N = 1) Round 2: Survey administration and refinement (N=7) Round 3: Development of web-based CNO survey Round 4: Selected follow-up
CNO Interviews Key Findings DNP degree program is not well understood My greatest concern is the lack of understanding and appreciation of what a DNP can bring to an organization. One of our greatest challenges is educating the organization, and especially physicians, about the DNP role and what advantages there are to the organization
CNO Interviews Key Findings DNP degree program is not well understood [A senior physician colleague] approached me in the hall and said: I m very concerned about nursing s movement to produce all these DNP s. Nursing is better off having a few high-quality doctorallyprepared students than an army of people with lesser qualifications
CNO Interviews Key Findings Skills considered essential for DNP graduates working in I would expect them to be able to define leadership and know how to assess [it] using various models. [I expect them to be] able to operate at both a strategic and tactical level. They must be able to take on more complex system issues
CNO Interviews Key Findings Selected limitations of DNP training I definitely think there is a difference between the skills I would expect them to have and what they are getting prepared for because when I looked at DNP programs what they provide in leadership [training] is very variable
CNO Interviews Key Findings New themes They were shining stars before they did the DNP; they came back with enhanced skills, and are even better than they were before. The most successful had a crossover experience because she blended her work and scholarly pursuit
CNO Interviews Key Findings Selected limitations of DNP training I think it has been stronger in concept than in execution and I think it has been stronger for nurse practitioners in advanced practice roles than it has been for those going into executive or management roles
CNO Interview Results Anticipation of DNPs contribution Desire to support DNPs Desire to put DNPs abilities to good work Connect DNP to mission & triple aim
Institute Coaching Resources Collaboration
Annual Institute Provide all DNPs in Maryland the opportunity to disseminate knowledge and increase confidence so they will be effective in the work of translation and innovation in practice.
