At Rush University's nursing college, a task force interviewed 21 nurse leaders at doctorate-granting institutions. Differences between the doctor of nursing science and doctor of philosophy degrees were identified in terms of focus, coursework, and external recognition. Almost half recommended that Rush retain the doctorate of nursing science, citing the strengths of practice-oriented research. (Contains 18 references.) (SK)
