Abstract

Medicine and Health Sciences Professional doctorate Hybrid doctorate PhD nurse practitioner education Doctor of nursing practice Nursing

Both PhDs and Professional Doctorates are now common in many countries as alternate doctoral education products. The cohesion of the discourse to this point used to distinguish the products, while holding together superficially on closer examination collapses. It is time to engage in debate to critically consider how the products differ to allow the decision of consumers of what best fits with chosen career trajectories for nurses.
