  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,...

  8. DNP Touro Nevada

    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...

  16. How do you explain the DNP?

    FreudianSlip posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Serious question-how do you explain the DNP to the average layperson? I'm not a NP (MSN-Ed) and I am currently in an education and leadership focused DNP program. I work in nursing education and am...

  17. DNP without nurse preceptor and project without patient care

    FreudianSlip replied to military spouse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Military Spouse, As far as having a DNP or PhD mentor, you should consider increasing your networking to find one-it will really help you with the process and development of your DNP project. You...

  18. How do you explain the DNP?

    FreudianSlip replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree it is the future of nursing! I think the AACN has made that pretty clear and I agree that their intent is correct, even if their vision is a bit muddied. I know exactly why I am pursuing the...

  20. Aspen University anyone??

    FreudianSlip replied to target98765's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Which program are you looking at? I attend the MSN-Ed program at Aspen and graduated last year. Personally, I found the program to be very competitive cost wise while offering a solid no frills...

  22. Path to DNP/PhD/EdD

    FreudianSlip replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I noticed that they aren't accredited by a nursing org...does that concern you? Is that relevant for a terminal degree? I was looking at a similar program at American Sentinel that is ACEN...

  23. Path to DNP/PhD/EdD

    FreudianSlip replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is the Touro program all online then? So, being in the Midwest, I could complete the program remotely? Also, what are the program goals...what will you do after you complete the program? Faculty...

  24. Huge cost differences in online MSN programs?

    FreudianSlip posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm trying to wrap my head around this..any explanations? As I look at MSN-Ed programs that are CCNE accredited...there appears to be similar programs that have huge price differences. Programs like...
