The DNP Professional: Translating Value From Classroom to Practice is a collection of exemplars from DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) -prepared experts across various advanced practice nursing roles and settings. The content illustrates the application of the DNP Essentials, quantifies successful DNP-prepared practitioner outcomes, and describes the overall impact of the nursing practice doctorate.

Each chapter is written by a different expert and focuses on how the DNP Essentials relate to that author's role, including business planning, evidence-driven decision making, data analytics, and interprofessional collaboration. These leaders demonstrate how to implement lessons learned in a DNP program and translate them into everyday practice, with plenty of pearls to pass along.

Editor Linda A. Benson has divided the book into sections based on roles and settings:


Nurse practitioner
Clinical nurse specialist
Certified registered nurse anesthetist
Nurse midwife
Nurse executive
Academia
Population health
Informatics
Legislative activity



When performing at their peak, DNPs can affect clinical, satisfaction, and cost outcomes, as well as provide preceptorship and mentoring. With exemplars from across the continuum of practice sites and roles, The DNP Professional: Translating Value From Classroom to Practice enables both students and DNP graduates to optimize the curricular Essentials in the practice setting.
