  8. 2015 DNP

    prairienp replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    prairienp replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The onlyway to make this argument is to compare students who have a degree (BS or MS)in another field who are in a BSN program. My hypothesis would be the studentswith a degree in another field in a...

  12. Credibility of Walden University

    prairienp replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thefurther we dig, the deeper the hole! The FNP director is adjunct with a fulltime position in Louisiana as the director of a NP program. The DNP director isadjunct. Thus, the faculty "list" is...

  14. Credibility of Walden University

    prairienp replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  18. Credibility of Walden University

    prairienp replied to angie16451's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I should have been more clear, when comparing the education for the MS in nursing (Walden vs other MS ed) the Walden grad did not match up well. I can't speak to the current FNP program at

  20. Is Mandatory DNP by 2015 a Done Deal?

    prairienp replied to SandBetweenMyToes's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The most important reason is missing. If the DNP becomes a requirement for reimbursement.Recall why the MSN became the standard level of education for the NP. In addition, I have listened to a ANCC...

    prairienp replied to NeuroNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    prairienp replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
