It goes without saying that one man’s meat is another man’s poison. This is because some people may tend to fall for one discipline for various reasons and interest. Though both are quite useful in their own ways, D.N.P is more appealing. This is because it being quite new in the industry, it offers more to the direct health care system. D.N.P has helped contribute vastly to the direct outcome of patient (Dreher & Glasgow, 2011). For example, in case of depression nurses have come up with relevant tools that help in dealing with this problem. Adequate knowledge on these tools help save lives as the impending problem is seen and the proper precautions taken.
It is mostly through D.N.P that current wave of revolution in healthcare is being witnessed. The fact that D.N.Ps can also teach is also an added advantage in pursing it. In case at some point in someone’s career one decides to teach, it is easier nowadays as educators from this profession are in high demand (McCaffrey, 2012). This is due to the complex nature of some tools in use that requires people of impeccable experience to help others out. Also the fact that D.N.Ps are experts in evidence based will help bridge the theory-practice gap which have been the since quite a while ago.
