2. MSN vs DNP Choice

   outsidegirl replied to jaynakim34's topic in NP Students

   Hi! Which program did you end up choosing? I’m kind of in the same boat- I would love to do a BSN-DNP program (PMHNP), but they all cost over 80k which is just too much money for me to take out in loans. I know I can find a much cheaper MSN program.....

8. crossroads: NP or PhD first

   outsidegirl replied to mecha-sorah's topic in Post Graduate

   I say get your PhD first! You have always loved research, and the patient-care aspect of FNP doesn't seem to align with your personality traits. Additionally, a PhD seems that it would work well in the future if you decide to start a family ?
