    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    BBFRN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    New grads who are being bullied by experienced nurses

    BBFRN replied to hella_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just an idea: Do you think you could be asking for help more, when you need it? It's OK to need help when you're a new nurse. Granted, we can't tell the tone of voice they're using here, but this...

    WHO's A** does one have to kiss to get a job in Louisville?

    BBFRN replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently, Jewish recently laid off a ton of nurses. Plus, we have all those new grads coming out. That might be why the jobs are so scarce now in the Louisville

    Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing versus Doctor of Nursing Practice

    BBFRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with Penguin67 re: the DNS. My major professor is a DNS, and she's an extremely rigorous researcher. From what I understand, the DNS offered her more hands-on research education than the PhD...

    Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing versus Doctor of Nursing Practice

    BBFRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In agreement with VickyRN, many schools are also re-auditing and awarding PhDs to their DNS alumni in an attempt to further streamline things. Indiana University is currently doing this

    BBFRN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in LPN to RN

    Ph.D in nursing help

    BBFRN replied to runrun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Another thing to note about this program, is that they are connected to the Cleveland Clinic, so you can't get any better than that, as far as having a cardiac population to

    BBFRN replied to runrun's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BBFRN replied to Lpn1109's topic in General Nursing

    I received my ASN through Excelsior. It should be noted that it is a distance program- not an online program. As a distance program, the format is that you test out of each course. You do not...

    Nursing Theorist for Theoretical framework of my thesis

    BBFRN replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My favorite change theory is Prochaska's transtheoretical model (stages of change). It's not a nursing theory per se, but it has been used extensively in nursing literature. You may want to check it...
