The AACN's Essentials framework is an integral part of nursing education that outlines the competencies expected for nursing practice but can be difficult to incorporate. Zaccagnini & White's Core Competencies for Advanced Practice Nursing: A Guide for DNPs, Fifth Edition continues to be the must-have resource for students to understand what it means to be a DNP and achieve mastery of the revised AACN Essentials. The practical framework features chapters aligned to each of the Essentials and weaves in concepts, covering all the necessary DNP information providing students and faculty a pragmatic blueprint to follow in their DNP programs.
Authored by advanced practice nurses with DNP degrees who practice or teach in a broad range of roles, Zaccagnini & White's Core Competencies for Advanced Practice Nursing: A Guide for DNPs, Fifth Edition, provides the infrastructure for students, faculty, and those practicing with a DNP degree to achieve and sustain the highest level of practice.
