  1. Some Places to Look At For Nursing Jobs

    ccso962 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    On another thread I was asked to post information here about places that I am personnally aware of that say, at least, that they are actively hiring nurses. It is not my intent to advertise for, nor...

  2. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    ccso962 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't think that I am intending to come off rude to anyone who has responded to the OP, but I just felt the need to point out a couple of points. Firstly, Optometry was actually suggested by...

  3. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thanks! Now if we could just get the powers that be in nursing education and DNP curriculum design (and the advancement of nursing as a profession in general) as a coordinated group to feel the same...

  4. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I sincerely agree that anyone who has earned a doctorate should be allowed to be called doctor. I could also understand the frustration of working in a place where everyone that is called doctor does...

  5. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In an earlier post kdrose01 made the following statement "A few weeks ago, I witnessed foul-mouthed nurses throwing each other into lockers in the break room as a game on my clinical floor. That kind...

  6. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That is, at least from what I can understand, the underpinning of the legitimate concerns over the DNP program. Some claim that the DNP "must have research" because that's what "doctorate degrees are...

  7. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I couldn't agree more. I have seen numerous articles, TV spots, news reports, etc. proclaiming that "soon your doctor may be a nurse" or some variation there of. These articles all seem to miss the...

  8. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I couldn't agree more. I think that this really sums up the issue. There will always be those little minded people who truly base all their self worth on what someone calls them, and they will...

  9. Cost for your MSN degree vs. Salary increase

    ccso962 replied to JSBoston's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think both of these are excellent points. Keep in mind, however, that many PhD programs pay a stipend to students for also teaching undergrads, working in the labs, etc. Some schools even forgive...

  10. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Like I have said previously I am all for anyone who has an earned doctorate being allowed to call themselves doctor (even if its not a clinically oriented doctorate) in a clinical setting (i.e. a...

  11. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    He actually got the DHSc for completing a PA residency and taking some additional classes while was in the one year PA residency, so it was very much tied to a clinical role. Just pointing this out...

  12. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree that nurses should be more recognized, and, as I have said in other posts, I completely agree with a nurses right to earn a DNP. I guess the ultimate question is what will you be able to do...

  13. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Not a Straw-man at all. Or at least not an attempt to be one. There is serious discussion out there over the costs of health care education and its effects on bringing in practitioners, practitioner...

  14. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Oh no I agree 100% that if you have earned a doctorate (clinical or otherwise) and you want to refer to yourself as doctor then that is great. I am simply saying that not everyone agrees with that....

  15. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I understand and not saying that it WILL become that expensive, but I think one thing to consider on that front right now is that the three year BSN to DNP programs now still have to compete with BSN...

  16. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This might be the case that the powers that be in nursing want to be called "doctor" if they have a DNP, and that is all well and good I guess. However, I have several friends who have their PharmD...

  17. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This was not intended to be a limited view of the role of NPs in the health care arena. I chose to focus on primary care specifically because the number one reason that most medical students give for...

  18. 2015 DNP

    ccso962 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am new to this forum, and should point out that I am not an RN, NP, PA, or MD (at least I'm not any of these yet) but I am interested in a future health career and the state of the health care...
