The expansion of graduate education, and especially doctoral education, in nursing in the United States is also noteworthy and will continue to require schools of nursing to assure that the curricula for the various avenues for preparing nurses for advanced nursing practice and for careers as nurse scientists are responsive to the needs of the ever-evolving healthcare system. A recommendation in the 2011 report The future of nursing was to double the number of doctorally prepared nurses by 2020, this recommendation has been far exceeded. While enrollment in 146 research-focused doctoral programs decreased by 5.9% between 2016 (4,883 students) and 2020 (4,597 students), enrollment in 378 Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs increased by 56.3% (2016 25,258 students, 2020 39,485 students) (Smiley et al., 2021, pp. 53, 66). The growth in DNP programs has placed considerable pressure on faculty resources as programs have worked to assure that they were meeting The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice and especially the requirement of a final DNP project (AACN, 2006). In addition, the advanced practice registered nurse programs have to meet the requirements of the various specialties. All of the DNP curricula, including BSN-to-DNP and post-master's DNP, will have to be re-envisioned given the 2021 Essentials.

Faculty professional development is mandatory and the existing informatics specialty organizations could provide valuable assistance. Faculty teaching in nursing informatics graduate specialization programs should be knowledgeable and experienced informaticians with the academic background to address essential content. In the US, the growth in DNP programs has placed considerable pressure on faculty resources, as programs have worked to assure that they were meeting the essentials of doctoral education for advanced nursing practice including the requirement of a final DNP project (AACN, 2006). In addition, the advanced practice registered nurse programs have to meet the requirements of the various specialties. All of the DNP curricula, including BSN-to-DNP and post-master's DNP, are currently being revised to comply with the 2021 AACN Essentials (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2021). Courses that simply provide an overview of informatics as a specialty are no longer sufficient. Courses directed at successfully incorporating informatics and information and communication technologies must align these skills and best practices to care delivery, best communication processes and operational workflows.
What Diminishes Joy
Published in Eve Shapiro, Joy in Medicine?, 2020
I couldn’t have quit my program to get hired as a registered nurse because no one would hire someone without, at the very least, an associate’s degree; and now, a lot of hospitals will only hire someone with a bachelor’s degree. I had to keep going for another 18 months or so of master’s-level training. Once I got my RN I got into my specialty, and there was another 18 months of training for that. I have a master of science in nursing, which allows me to be an advanced practice registered nurse.

In 2018, 17.1% of the nation's registered nurses held a master's degree, an increase of 3.3% from 2013.6 These nurses include those who are in advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) roles, specifically the nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA), and certified nurse midwife (CNM). These APRNs are registered nurses educated at master’s or post-masters level and in a specific role and patient population. Through their education and certification, APRNs are prepared to assess, diagnose, and manage patient problems, order diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications.7 In addition to these APRNs, other nurses with advanced nursing degrees have pivotal roles in the healthcare system as administrators, clinical leaders, and educators.
ACCC Can Close the Gap in Cancer Research: The Research Program at Highlands Oncology Group
Published in Oncology Issues, 2021
In addition to the new facility, the research program staff now includes a dedicated research advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who will work closely with the physician team. In this role, she will see study patients for visits that do not require an MD. The APRN will oversee lab results for all clinical trial patients, and the APRN will be highly involved in monitoring and managing patient adverse events and seeing patients who may need an acute visit for an adverse event, further improving continuity of care.

The facility administration approved staff training and the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) facilitation of the 12-session course in the forensic psychiatric inpatient setting. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the state hospital determined this clinical dissemination project was eligible for exempt status. All participants had the right to refuse group attendance at any time. Patient data were anonymous except for the facilitating staff. The IRB approved publication of these findings.
