   MilesRN replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Educators

5. Is getting your DNP worth it?

   MilesRN replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral

   So, here is my two cents. I would like to know where the idea originated that being a nurse and holding any terminal degree we are not permitted the use the title "Doctor". Any individual from any discipline/profession who earns a doctorate from Ph...

7. Have a Bachelors, Do I Really Need a BSN?

   MilesRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   Good luck to you on your decision. Since you have a bachelor's might you consider an RN to MSN track? I recommend looking to an MSN in nursing leadership and administration. This would open many other doors that a BSN may not. Best. Gregg Thomps...

8. Difference between Ph.D and Ed.D

   MilesRN replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Doctoral

   I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding the difference between the EdD and Ph.D. In most cases, both the Ph.D. and EdD require an original research dissertation. I have actually conducted extensive research on all types of doctorates from ...

11. College selection for doctoral program

    MilesRN replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral

    MilesRN replied to faith6616's topic in General Students

    I live in the great state of Ohio, and we were told nearly 30 years ago that LPN's would be phased out. Well, here were are and they are still here. Many hospitals had eliminated the LPNs but not they are actively recruting them again. I would rec...
