The NLN has called for PhD and DNP prepared faculty to collaborate in the academic environment. In the evolving world of nursing, both research and practice doctorates bring value and expertise to nursing education. Join Abby and Bri as they discuss how their complementary knowledge and skills have been utilized in a successful co-teaching model for 200W to bring the NLN vision to life.

At the conclusion of this educational session, learners will be able to:

• Describe the value of PhD and DNP collaboration in academia
• Describe best practices for a co-teaching model in higher education
• Discuss how inter-degree collaboration and co-teaching could be applied to our current curriculum
