    Hey NurseMartin, My husband has accepted admission into the Texas State program and just got his program of study, will be working on registering in the next few days. He has declined the acceptance...

    Anyone every work 24 hours a week? (2 12s) is it doable?

    TiffyRN replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I worked five 8's for a few years before I happened into 12 hr shifts, which I liked a whole lot. I then worked 3-12's (36hrs) for almost 20 years and it was quite doable, even took full-time hours at...

    Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    TiffyRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I'm adding my 2 cents though I believe you are headed in the right direction. If you are pulled in to another "corrective" meeting, I agree it is probably in-advisable to secretly record it. One...

    Texas PMHNP programs

    TiffyRN replied to AlcRoc's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My husband applied to and was accepted to Texas State and Midwestern State for Fall 2019. I was pushing for Midwestern state as they have been around a while and have excellent pass and placement...

    Fulltime or part time PhD? Share experiences please

    TiffyRN replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    A couple of the other students in my cohort also started with their MSN. One lady was taking a full time load and she completed all her coursework in just under 2 years and passed comps ("orals"). She...

    Fulltime or part time PhD? Share experiences please

    TiffyRN replied to PediatricRNTX's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I tried to continue working full-time while pursuing PhD but by the second semester I knew it was not going to work for me. I was in a BSN to PhD program and there was no option to take classes part...

    Midwestern State University PMHNP program

    TiffyRN replied to Scarlettz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My husband has intended to resign his current position as soon as he is accepted (thankfully we are in a position to make it work with some belt tightening). So, he was specifically looking for a...

    Reviews of TAMU and Texas State Round Rock FNP programs

    TiffyRN replied to SRWRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi y'all. My husband was accepted to MidWestern State PHMNP program but is also very interested in Texas State's program due to a slightly shorter length. Was wondering if there was any input...

    TiffyRN replied to Scarlettz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would also love to have more information. My husband was just accepted to this program but he also has an application out to Texas State's program in Round Rock. Trying to get any more information...

    MSN education to DNP/ PHD?

    TiffyRN replied to Kevin Gao's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What? I mean, pay attention to the standards of the programs where you intend to attend, but that doesn’t sound right. For one, there are a good number of BSN to PhD programs out there, and some in...

    BSN to Doctor Programs

    TiffyRN replied to SummerGarden's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I might not remember all of them (It's been a long 4 years). Now that I think more carefully, we only started with 8. We had 10 names of folks that had been accepted, but only 8 showed up to our...

    PhD Nursing... thinking about it

    TiffyRN replied to raecudzy1's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am in dissertation in a BSN to PhD program. In my program, I had to take 5-6 courses from the MSN-Education program, a couple from the DNP program and the rest from the PhD program so I have had an...

    BSN to Doctor Programs

    TiffyRN replied to SummerGarden's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I can only speak to the BSN to PhD (not DNP) program. In the program I attend, we do not earn an MSN as we progress. There is a completely different track than MSN. I believe it has to do with...

    Dual DNP/PhD programs: what's most important?

    TiffyRN replied to coffee&scrubs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'll add that my PhD program does not provide funding. You can apply for grants and scholarships but that has maybe covered 10% of my tuition over the last 4 years (doing BSN to PhD). I had heard PhD...

    MSN vs PhD for teachers

    TiffyRN replied to Swampler's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    As part of my BSN to PhD program I took a series of MSN-education courses including a practicum following around a nursing professor. Seemed like a lot of the professors that didn't have their PhD...

    College selection for doctoral program

    TiffyRN replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I thought I found the repository of Walden University's doctoral dissertations then went to the Nursing section. Had posted the link but turns out it's publications, not necessarily dissertations. Let...

    College selection for doctoral program

    TiffyRN replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't think we really disagree on the things you stated above. I guess I might clarify that "online PhD programs" are not exclusive to for-profit schools. The one I attend is almost all online but...

    UTA Spring 2019 PMHNP

    TiffyRN replied to deza's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for answering Luci! Actually he wants info that is much more relevant to the stage you are at, having just finished the application process. I noticed you only have 10 posts so I don't think...

    College selection for doctoral program

    TiffyRN replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm going to agree with you wholeheartedly on points 2 & 3. I had just completed an RN to BSN less than a year before I started this program. I thought it might be slightly more intense than the...

    Roll Call - Who's Been Around the Longest and Your Accomplishments

    TiffyRN replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I've been here since 2003 I think, so not as long as some. It was right after I left the adult world to go to NICU. So many changes in these last few years. I think Dan Gilbert gave a Ted Talk...

    PhD with Teaching Focus

    TiffyRN replied to georgia88's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with the previous posters for the most part (EdD is more for teaching, PhD more for research). I went in to my program as a BSN to PhD student. Those of us starting as BSN had to complete 6...

    College selection for doctoral program

    TiffyRN replied to Saravah's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have been attending UTMB-Galveston for 4 years (BSN to PhD). They are nearly 100% online. They require on-campus visits once a year for the first 3 years and then when you defend your dissertation...
