    Tons of student loans, pursue DNP still?

    thank you. from my comparison, the msn and dnp are pretty much the same tuition... i wonder if maybe i just go part time in the beginning. i feel that i'd be spending even more in student loans by...

    Feeling Flustered

    That's very helpful! Plus, it's nice that you have your 3 nights scheduled during the "week" and not on the weekends like I currently do. Your schedule is not too bad with it being during the week....

    In my original post, I stated that I leave here in a couple of weeks and onto hospital floor work. I was just wondering if hospitals schedule shifts all together like this current job of mine does. I...

    Feeling Flustered

    That's a good idea.... stay up after I come home to get my kids ready for school on that morning. The only issue is that I don't get home until 7:45am, which is the time my kids have to leave to go...

    Yes, maybe ensuring they have a top-of-the-line tape recorder would probably assist with the recordings.... not using cassette tapes, also. That's a good idea to start... Thank
