What emerging DNP roles do you imagine yourself in upon completion of your degree?

DQ1 Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Practice Discuss the role of the DNP-prepared nurse in leading interprofessional collaboration and partnership for promoting safe clinical practice within healthcare systems. Consider your reading this week from Chapters 6 and 10 in Zaccagnini, M. E. & White, K.W. (2014); and in light of that reading, discuss ways that you currently work in or have developed interprofessional collaboration. What more can you do relative to interprofessional collaboration as you move through your DNP education? Give specific examples of your current actions and future plans and tell why those actions are likely to improve outcomes? Be specific. DQ2 Emerging Roles for the DNP-Prepared Nurse What emerging DNP roles do you imagine yourself in upon completion of your degree? What skills and/or competencies do you think will be most beneficial to you as you take on those advanced roles? Consider your readings in Zaccagnini, Chapters 8 and 9 as you formulate your discussion post. Compare your role in performing traditional advanced practice actions to what is possible in emerging roles when you have completed your DNP degree.
