How are the Masters Essentials reflected in the development of the DNP?
The DNP Essentials are built on the content and competencies outlined in AACN’s Essentials of Master’s Education for Advanced Practice Nursing (1996). Graduates of programs based on the master’s Essentials will already possess much of the core knowledge needed to attain the end-of-program competencies delineated in the DNP Essentials. The DNP program will provide these graduates with the additional competencies and knowledge needed to practice at the highest level.
