1. Touro University - Nevada DNP Program - anyone???

   FreudianSlip replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   I believe there are a few on here, including myself, that went to Touro. It's a cost effective, time sensitive program, that was challenging but doable with a full time job. It's likely what you...

2. Should I give up??

   FreudianSlip replied to SunnyRN76's topic in Case Management

   Hi, 5 years as a nurse is not a lot of experience to bring to the table and that may be hurting your opportunities. Hopefully, most of those 5 years are in the same care area? Nurses who can parlay...

3. Feel lost as a nurse

   FreudianSlip replied to sean12345's topic in General Nursing

   Hey Sean, Sounds like you're at a bit of a crossroad. Luckily, you're still quite young(ish), so still time to recoup any life or career changes. Your feelings are not uncommon from what I've heard...

4. Does DNP help financially?

   FreudianSlip replied to WinterWolf90's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   I think a good general answer to this question is that it is just another tool in the belt; another key for the door. There will be anecdotal stories of associate degree nurses pulling down six...

5. MSN-Ed to DNP?

   FreudianSlip replied to LanaWRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

   If you are wanting to teach, I would stick with your MSN-Ed program. DNP programs are essentially being offered in two flavors these days: Leadership and advanced practice. A MSN with an education...

6. ABA to Psych Nurse

   FreudianSlip replied to 68WtoRN's topic in Psychiatric

   Congratulations on your decision and thank you for you service! I started my career as a combat medic too :) To answer your question-if you want to be a psychiatric nurse, other behavioral health...

7. Is getting your DNP worth it?

   FreudianSlip replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

   The million dollar question is, of course, is it worth it to you? I suspect you are asking if it will be financially or professionally rewarding-increasing your earning potential, job opportunities,...

   FreudianSlip replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   Congratulations!

9. Psychiatric RN Certification Tips

   FreudianSlip replied to BigBrownPotato's topic in Psychiatric

   The PEARLS course was free for me (part of our company's CE package), so the value was great. For $69, I'd say it is just so/so. I thought the psychopharm was good, but some of the other modules...

10. Psychiatric RN Certification Tips

    FreudianSlip replied to BigBrownPotato's topic in Psychiatric

    I recently took this exam and passed. I pretty much used everything-the review book, all the practice questions offered through ANCC, flashcards, and review content through PEARLS. I read the book...

11. DNP Touro Nevada

    FreudianSlip replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It is similar to most DNP programs project/capstones-you will work closely with an academic and practice mentor to develop a project that "translates research/evidence in to practice"-in an area of...

12. DNP for educator

    FreudianSlip replied to satisfiedwithURcare?'s topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I believe they modified their curriculum this year to be more leadership, but not educator

13. Career change here too

    FreudianSlip replied to The_Physicist's topic in General Nursing

    If your end goal is to help people, there are so many options that you could take before making a career change; especially one that will (at first) dramatically reduce your income. You should be...

14. Career change to nursing?

    FreudianSlip replied to Z0RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're only 24! You have enough time to do anything! That being said, you really should attempt some job shadowing or PRN aide work before making a huge leap like that. That expression "the grass...

15. Generalist MSN to DNP

    FreudianSlip replied to Scrubs72's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hi Scrubs, If you are wanting to be a NP-DNP, then yes it'll be the four year program geared towards the BSN to DNP. If you aren't interested in becoming an NP, then there are DNP programs that focus...
