Yes, there is an indication of this as follows. The AACN requires that all entry-level nurse practitioner educational programs be transitioned from the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to the DNP degree by the year 2015. The American Association of Nurse Anesthetists has followed suit, requiring the DNP (or DNAP-Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice) degree for entry-level nurse anesthetist programs by the year 2025. Nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists currently practicing with an MSN will not be required to obtain the DNP. (Wikipedia)

The DNP is intended primarily to prepare registered nurses to become advanced practice registered nurses.
