At least 111 schools and colleges of nursing across the nation provide both PhD and DNP programs (AACN, 2014a). Collaboration between nurses with doctoral preparation as researchers (PhD) and practitioners (DNP) has been recommended as essential to further the profession; that collaboration can begin during the educational process.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and implementation of successful DNP and PhD program collaboration, and to share the results of that collaboration in an educational setting.
Faculty set strategic goals to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of both new DNP and existing PhD programs. The goals were to promote collaboration and complementarity between the programs through careful capstone and dissertation differentiation, complementary residency activities, joint courses and inter-professional experiences; promote collegiality in a blended on-line learning environment through shared orientation and intensive on-campus sessions; and maximize resources in program delivery through a supportive organizational structure, equal access to technology support, and shared faculty responsibilities as appropriate to terminal degrees.
Successes such as student and faculty accomplishments, and challenges such as managing class size and workload, are described.
Collaboration, collegiality and the sharing of resources have strengthened and enriched both programs and contributed to the success of students, faculty. These innovative program strategies can provide a solid foundation for DNP and PhD collaboration.
全国至少有111所护理学院提供博士学位（PhD）和护理实践博士学位（DNP）项目（美国护理学院协会，2014a）。建议具有博士学位的研究型护士（PhD）和应用型护士（DNP）之间开展合作，这对推动该专业发展至关重要；这种合作可以在教育过程中就开始。
本文旨在描述成功的DNP和PhD项目合作的发展与实施情况，并分享在教育环境中这种合作的成果。
教师设定战略目标，以最大限度地提高新的DNP项目和现有PhD项目的有效性和效率。目标包括通过精心设计的顶点课程和论文的差异化、互补的实习活动、联合课程和跨专业体验，促进两个项目之间的合作与互补；通过共同的入学指导和密集的校内课程，在混合式在线学习环境中促进同事关系；通过支持性的组织结构、平等获得技术支持以及根据最终学位适当分担教师职责，在项目实施中最大限度地利用资源。
描述了学生和教师取得的成就等成功之处，以及班级规模和工作量管理等挑战。
合作、同事关系和资源共享加强并丰富了两个项目，并促成了学生和教师的成功。这些创新的项目策略可为DNP和PhD的合作提供坚实基础。
