Practice Doctorate Resource Center

Since mid-2001, NONPF has been engaging in the study of the nursing practice doctorate. Early work in the organization centered on identifying the key issues in health care and society driving a perceived need for the reshaping of this educational paradigm. Recent work has included development by NONPF leadership and membership task forces of statements, articles, and other documents to provide guidance to NP educators.  In December 2003, NONPF co-hosted a National Forum on the Practice Doctorate in Nursing to facilitate national dialogue.  In 2005 - 2006, NONPF convened a multi-organizational National Panel for the NP practice doctorate competencies consensus process.  NONPF created this Web-based resource center to promote the ongoing exchange of information about this topic and to facilitate dialogue broadly among NONPF members, clinicians, educators, and the general public
