Abstract

Background

Rapid enrollment in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs has resulted in an urgent need for increased access to resources that promote scholarship and professional development of DNP-prepared faculty who are entering academia to teach nurses at all levels.

Purpose

To provide an overview of the current state of support and opportunities to enhance scholarship among DNP-prepared nurse faculty.

Methods

A systematic scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines. Five databases were searched for reports that presented evidence to promote professional success, advancement in rank, and development of DNP-prepared faculty.

Discussion

Findings suggest an urgent need for structured support for DNP-prepared faculty engagement in scholarship, including formal mentoring, focused faculty development, and administrative and financial support.

Conclusion

There is limited evidence to support DNP-prepared faculty scholarship. Increased efforts are needed, and their dissemination could positively impact leadership, policy, and practice in the profession.
