7: THE ROLE OF THE EDUCATOR ■ 195- You are a DNP faculty member on the curriculum revision team for the baccalaureate pro-
gram. One of the team members has a PhD in public health and is being uncivil because you
do not have a PhD. How would you educate that person in relation to your role, education,
and preparation as a nurse educator? - What are some of the major differences in preparation between the DNP and PhD in prepar-
ing students for an educator role? - How do key features of the “practice environment” affect curriculum within the paradigm
of nursing education? - What are some of the definitions of scholarship that are attainable in the DNP role and
should be valued as tenurable? - Can you foresee that two different doctoral degrees in academia may lend themselves to
establishing an environment that enhances or detracts academic collegiality? - Can you think of positive collaborations that could take place in the academic environment
between nurse educators with a practice and research doctorate.
