  1. I would look at PhD programs where you would receive full funding. I didn't pay a dime for my PhD (nursing with an informatics specialty). I would focus first on finding and advisor that you want to work with and whose research you admire. Contact...
  2. I thought the program was great. Nursing and public health go really well together of course. My friend did peds and pop fam and it took her 3 1/2 years to finish both masters. She also worked full-time at the hospital which I think is the best be...
  3. I was in the joint degree MSN/MPH program though I ended up not finishing my MSN. How long it will take you depends on what your nursing specialty is, if you plan to go part-time or full-time and if you plan to do the general MPH program or one of t...

    Have you tried doing a mock interview with someone who can give you objective feedback?
  5. Doctorate in Informatics

    So the most important factor in selecting a PhD program is finding a mentor whose research interests match yours. It's really better to go to a lower ranked school with a good mentor then to go to a good school with a bad match. I generally tell peo...
  6. Doctorate in Informatics

    I just finished a PhD in Nursing but my specialty was informatics and I will be starting a post-doc in biomedical informatics soon. I can try an answer your questions but first I need to know a few things. What type of research would you like to do...
  7. PHD Rankings vs Job security?

    I agree with the previous posters. I am also a PhD student at a research intensive university, though the nursing school itself is quite small. All of the new faculty and post-docs we have coming in are from similarly research intensive schools. ...
  8. To OP: I think this study sounds fascinating. Maybe also a preliminary study with GLBT parents about their perceptions of care they received? KUP on your findings. Mission
  9. Your Input is Needed

    The role of nurses in informatics research and policy.

  11. Are you sure you didn't qualify for the minority scholarships? Males in nursing usually count as being underrepresented. Also try searching discovernursing.com.
  12. From Business Degrees to Nursing

    Hi Morrio82, I am also second career nurse with a ba and ms from my previous field. I completed an accelerated BSN program in '06. 5 years later I can tell you I am very happy with my choice and the opportunities that becoming a nurse has given me.
  13. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    That should say you can't teach without theory.
  14. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    Future of nursing report: http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/The-Future-of-Nursing-Leading-Change-Advancing-Health.aspx I think your guess is probably wrong. Nursing is a science (and an art) and you can't teach science with theory. I think, like man...
  15. Shocked at Ph.D. pay scale!

    Mostly 12 month with no teaching for the first 3 years. IMHO, doesn't make sense to accept a 9 month contract if you are doing research.
