24 Who will teach DNP students? There will be components of the DNP which will demand Doctorally prepared faculty. Many of those who currently teach in advanced practice programs will be involved in teaching DNP students, particularly at the beginning level. Master s-prepared faculty teaching in APRN programs will have the option to complete the DNP, enhancing their standing within the university and increasing the number of faculty qualified to teach in the DNP program.

25 Survey Results AACN s 2009 annual survey data; the following results were found: 72% of schools with APRN programs (388 schools) are either offer ing (120) or planning (161) a DNP program. 62% of schools either offering or planning a DNP program (281) ar e planning to offer a post baccalaureate entry option.
