title: Preparing BSN students for the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) application process: the faculty role.
abstract: With the recent development of BSN-to-DNP programs, many BSN students and graduates are making applications. However, few BSN programs instruct students on how to successfully apply to doctoral programs. The author provides recommendations for BSN faculty on how to prepare BSN students for the application process to doctoral programs.
