David, Based on your ability to so thoroughly and fully explain this topic and how beneficial it is to all of us who wish to get paid what we are worth it seems like you could really monetize this information for yourself through both paid publicatio...

This is really convoluted and insane but here goes... I transferred out of a Direct Entry FNP program in CA into a Doctor of Nursing Practice program in AZ. I have applied for my AZ RN license only to discover that because I had not actually graduat...

Yes, in the program...and doing very well....I think it is odd as well that no one said anything to me about the whole oh you dont have a formal RN degree but you have an RN that might not work out for you to move to AZ that only works in CA. I was ...

thanks elkpark. i am hoping against hope that the person who is reviewing my transcripts will see that i took all the courses associated with a bsn from an accredited program and that will be that. i was also considering contacting one of the place...

I am currently residing in Arizona and am one of those who received the RN as a non graduate, however the program I attended the RN portion was part of a direct entry FNP program of which i transferred out of into a DNP program here in AZ...the cours...

I was told the same thing too mainly because I was told that it would make me more marketable and help me hold onto my "nursing skills" which I would promptly lose once I went into psych nursing (supposedly). I already knew that I would never want t...

Hi All, I am currently enrolled in a direct entry Family Nurse Practitioner program in CA. I recently have been looking at the DNP program at Arizona State University in Psychiatry as this is my area of interest and the area in which I am now comple...

Thank you so much for your reply! What is your background if I may ask? I am in a Direct Entry FNP program and my BA is in psychology...

Thanks Zenman, I am pretty much sold on the psych DNP, just want to make sure the program is a reputable program. Do you actually know someone who has graduated from the psych DNP program, or just the school in general? I appreciate your response! ...

I will be starting a Family Nurse Practitioner program in the Fall of this year. My school I will be attending offers a post professional certificate to become a CRNA. My question is based on your personal experience or personal knowledge how shoul...

Them's fight'n words! Sorry...I just can't help it...it just seems that this whole debate has gotten so completely and utterly ridiculous...can I get an amen sistas?! Or just a Thank You would be cool :chuckle

Oooh so ominous! This guy thinks so too!

Hi. I was just curious who will be starting the ELMSN-FNP program at Samuel Merritt this coming Fall? Last I heard people were still waiting to hear back from the school but I would imagine at this point everyone knows. I would just like to meet a f...

Hi crisbiss! I have a place in mind, just waiting for the right time. I will be working through August but I only work 3 days a week doing 12 hour shifts...so I still have a good amount of time to get things together. I sent in all the info I have a...

Because I have no prior experience as a nurse and in order to attend school I will need to attend a direct entry nursing program at the masters level as I am unable to borrow money for a lower level degree ( I already have two BA's). I could do an A...

I was wondering if there were any CRNA's out there that started as an FNP? When did you know you wanted to be a CRNA and what path did you take to get there? Thanks for any and all responses/advice.

What kind of reality? Last I checked advanced education was a voluntary pursuit. If the DNP is not good enough for you then do not obtain the DNP. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, if your gripe is that the DNP is not what is should...

n_g (aka no good), I hope I have the opportunity to work with you...you love to stir the pot don't you? I wonder how many buttons you have that I can push? What fun you must be. :chuckle You are so tired...yawn...

No...I am female. LOL

Who are you referring to?

I remember working as an organ procurement technician with the eye bank. I was on call and would perform the sterile surgical procedure to remove corneas for transplant and whole eyes for research. I did not even have my bachelors yet. I cannot te...

I like that! We should all adopt the title "Master"....my husband and I were arguing about this and he said that "Dr." belongs to physicians and has for over a 100 years and that DNP's need to come up with something else...I said really? And what w...

Doctors of Nurse Practice ARE primary care PROVIDERS and in 23 of the fifty states their scope of practice allows them to practice under their own license without being overseen by a Medical Doctor...they are also given full hospital privileges and a...

I applied for the ELMSN program at Samuel Merritt (Oakland campus) for Fall 2008 (late...but got go ahead from admissions office) and still need to get in my NET scores (taking on Feb 9th) and my References. Anyone else apply late and still need to t...

Who have you been emailing and calling? When I had questions I looked up their directory and directly called the person in charge of what I needed the answer on. If you have already done this then I have no idea what to try...
