How is a DNP different from a PhD in nursing?
A PhD generates new knowledge through original research. A DNP translates existing evidence into practice and is assessed on practice change at a systems level. Both are doctorates. They prepare for different roles, and neither is a lesser version of the other.
This comes up on DNP Coursework and Clinical Hours, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
