    londonflo replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    londonflo replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP no where equates with the rigor of a PhD. The "capstone" projects I have learned of were not even an MSN level. Yeh, it is a 'clinical degree' but I don't even know anyone who did something in...
