2. Any PhD Students Out There?

   chicoborja replied to JaneyW's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Hi, I'm a Ph.D. student but not in nursing nor am I an RN. I think there are different perspectives, with regard to PhD education, in all allied health/nursing professions where the masters in the...

   chicoborja replied to Emery's topic in General Nursing

   ASL is also more prevalent in areas that have large Deaf communities (e.g., Washington, D.C., New York, and California). Many school systems teach SEE (SEE2) which is a manual version of English....

   chicoborja replied to chicoborja's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

10. evoked potential monitoring

    chicoborja posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    chicoborja replied to VickyRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The practical value is primarily political. Having a doctorate as the entry-level for a particular profession, in this case advanced practice nursing, sets a profession up to move towards autonomy. I...
