   My sister-in-law is currently enrolled in a DNP program and I have been invited to attend her White Coat Ceremony. I've never attended one, and I need suggestions for an appropriate gift for her. Any ideas?

2. Dear Nurse Manager, why won’t you hire dialysis nurses

   drsrn replied to Natkat's topic in General Nursing

   Too many clinical hours in the NP Program. I just don't want to do all that. I'm too old! May I ask what state you are in?

5. Older nurses...chasing that carrot

   drsrn replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

   Same boat...or almost! I'm 59 and been working in dialysis for 23 years and honestly don't even know if I could physically work in any other nursing arena. Last year I completed an RN-BSN online program just mainly for self-satisfaction and to make m...

6. MSN Educator - Having second thoughts...

   drsrn posted a topic in General Nursing

   Am I crazy? I'm 58 and just completed my RN-BSN online after having my ADN since age 35. I've worked in hemodialysis my entire career and love it. I actually don't think I could do any other type of nursing anymore. I've always wanted to become a ce...

   drsrn posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been an ADN dialysis nurse since 1995. I love nephrology and really don't want to work in any other field of nursing. I will finish an online RN-BSN program this Dec at the age of 58. I'm debating on whether pursuing a MSN is worth it. It will t...

10. MSN Education vs. NP

    drsrn replied to drsrn's topic in Post Graduate

    Thank you everyone for your input. What you are saying makes perfectly good sense. I think my worry is that there may not be much demand for a 60-something year old NP.

    I graduated with an ADN 23 years ago. Currently, I'm enrolled in an RN-BSN program and will graduate this December at the age of 58. I plan to obtain a Master's Degree but I'm unsure about which road to take, the MSN in Education or FNP. Both progra...
