    werkinit replied to greatgirl123's topic in Post Graduate Students

  3. what will happened to MSN NPprograms in 2015

    werkinit replied to greatgirl123's topic in Post Graduate Students

    IF the DNP actually becomes the new standard in 2015, I'm sure there will be some kind of grandfathering-in process. Students who are in process with an NP program will likely still get their NP...

  9. Confused by direct entry Masters in Nursing

    werkinit replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in a direct-entry master's program. It's a generalist MSN and does not lead to an NP or CNS degree. They make it very clear that at a clinical level, we are new-grad nurses when we're...
