Three-Year Nursing PhD Model Recommendations from the RWJF Future of Nursing Scholars.

Background: In response to the 2011 report, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation created the Future of Nursing Scholars (FNS) Program in partnership with select schools of nursing to increase the number of PhD-prepared nurses using a 3-year curriculum.
