Please take a few moments to assist in a research study exploring the roles and functions of APRNs who have earned/are in the process of earning/are considering the DNP degree. This survey is designed to understand APRN/DNP contributions to patient care. If individuals choose to participate in this brief survey, they will be asked to answer questions about themselves, their practice and the patients they treat. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Answers will be used to inform certification boards and educational programs about the current clinical practice of APRN/DNPs.

Participation is voluntary. Answers are confidential and only aggregate data will be shared. If individuals choose not to participate, they may do so at any time during the survey. All information will be stored on a password-protected computer until the study is complete, and then erased. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact mcarter@uthsc.edu or at2898@cumc.columbia.edu.

The survey can be accessed at any time at the following link:
