The doctor of nursing practice and clinical nurse leader : essentials of program development and implementation for clinical practice

Summary: "This is the first book to document and analyze the development and integration of the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs in graduate nursing institutions. Editors Fitzpatrick and Wallace, established authorities in nursing education, present this text as an introduction to these exciting new degrees." "The contributors, ranging from architects of the programs to graduates from the programs, offer valuable information on the objectives, curricula, and expected outcomes of these two educational tracks. Ultimately, the book explores how the development of these new degrees has influenced health care delivery at large." "Offering comprehensive coverage of the DNP and CNL development, this book is required reading for students considering doctorates in nursing, as well as nurse educators and administrators working within the programs."--BOOK JACKET.
