Abstract
The standard of health care is changing across the country forcing practitioners to reevaluate their impact on quality of care and health care outcomes. The demand for higher quality care and the increasing complexity of healthcare has created a need for a higher level of knowledge and education among practitioners. Many healthcare professionals have changed their entry level degree to the doctorate level. This article will discuss the reason for and controversy surrounding the adoption of the DNP within nursing, describe the lack of other health professions' positions on the DNP, and the AMA's active opposition to this transition in nursing.
