Clarkson College ED.D. program

[lyndsay1985]

I was wondering if anyone has attended or is currently in Clarkson College's Educational and Leadership ED.D. program? and if they could tell me how thier experience is going or had gone? 

I am interested in this program, I was told that thier program is completely online and that all of my research, and study could be completed all online- I am hoping this is true... I am curious as well  to the ED.D. 938 leadership course that states one must complete a service requirement? I am wondering what this means or what an example would be? 

I am hoping to hear any insight would be helpful. thank you.

Hope For RN's,

thank you for your reply, I am excited to learn of someone who has or is attending clarkson college EdD. program.  This is my school of choice to further my education, my only hold up has been could I conduct my actual dissertation research with surveys, and such online? because I live remotely and am two hours at minimum to a community college and half a day a way from the nearest university.  So from a practical hands on approach could this be feasible for me to do? 

I have heard back in the blog post above that this could be possible so I just want to know what your take is on it?

 

Thank you,

As for the CNE I did more research into this as well just like other certifications too I didn't realize the increase in pay for your nursing license through the state. So I can see the other point in this as well, because I totally understand the frustration of not feeling like your MSN degree has been considered "enough" in teaching. I think the transitioning from bedside to nursing educator needs to be of a better system period.

If you want to teach at the BSN level or higher, you need a doctorate. So, in reality, MSN is just a stepping stone to a career in academia anyway. I think it is the best stepping stone unless you want to teach APRNs. But even then, nursing education coursework should be added to the curriculum. 

I think it's entirely feasible to conduct your research through Zoom or another platform like Doximity. Plenty of research is undertaken virtually to have a broader reach to participants. Research can even be done over the phone! You may be able to find something local though as well. Some types of qualitative research only need a couple of participants. My dissertation research involves a face-to-face course I teach, but I could also do it through a course I teach remotely and never meet with anyone in person! 

You will love the program!

I am old, but it was reinforced in my program that accepting and  selecting the sample (criteria etc) was more important than a 100 subjects.  We can never survey all nurses, all educators, everyone

What is your passion for the subject of your dissertation? Do you want to make a difference? Mine was on establishing the "at risk category" in nursing diagnosis. And I collected data for the risk factors for infection.  Collecting data, selecting subjects is an important  activity with regards to compiling that data. I do have to add  I am from the 1980s and we typed all our early and final chapters. I remember getting so tired of sitting down with the typewriter I put it on the ironing board and typed away. Data was collected in person but I do have to wonder if this data was more accurate than a remote collection via survey?
