Abstract
A deliberate course of predegree intraprofessional DNP and PhD student collaboration can yield relationships that will facilitate postdegree teamwork. Working together, DNP-prepared nurses can use their practice expertise, and PhD-prepared nurses can use their research expertise to improve and change health care. This article presents 3 contexts in which predegree collaboration can occur between DNP and PhD students. Postdegree DNP and PhD collaboration can occur in 2 contexts.
