  1. Nurse Faculty Loan Program

    The University I have been teaching form in their graduate program will go non-profit as of July 1st. Student Loan Forgiveness here I come!
  2. Difference between Ph.D and Ed.D

    I considering getting my Ph.D in nursing education. Many online programs offer Ed.D. Is this the same as a doctorate but just that it is education? Are you still considered a doctor? Is it considered a terminal degree? I want to teach for a New Jerse...
  3. Grand Canyon DNP

    Having been through an online FNP program and teaching in an online program I can tell you that every student feels ill-prepared. It's all new. Different from nursing duties. It's only natural. Do the best you can in the program you are in. Make the ...
  4. NP + RN - can I do both part time?

    You can definitely do both. No law against it. There is one issue which the hospital informed me of. If you ever get in a lawsuit you will be held to the standards of your highest degree. I would keep NP and RN insurance for that reason.
  5. Difference between Ph.D and Ed.D

    Thank you DizzyJon and Shanimal, Both of you have provided the information that I need. I want to only use the title doctor when using my CV to apply for teaching position with the state, other than that I wouldn't use it. I am a nurse educator.
  6. Former employer wants me to redo documentation

    I don't think she would be responsible. The agency is responsible, she no longer works for them. She would be responsible if she goes back and re does the documentation.
  7. Former employer wants me to redo documentation

    No way! They should have known through case conference and daily phone meetings whether or not the patient was truly homebound. It is their problem. They only want you to do it so that they can get paid for that patient. You resigned. You're done. Wh...
  8. Nurse Faculty Loan Program

    I am checking into Ph.D. programs in Nursing Education. I am currently teaching in an FNP program online for a not for profit university. If you teach full-time at a university or online for a non-profit univeristy you can get $20,000 a year loan fo...
  9. Duty of care? Opinions please

    The first nurse is guilty of patient abandonment unless the patient was a known DNR but I still would have called their contact number(s) If the patient was not a DNR I would first call their contact (daughter/son/POA, etc) if no answer I would go a...
  10. I was recently been hired by WGU as a nurse evaluator. I am very excited but find the orientation very challenging. The Stoplight Method of grading is foreign to me. Does it get easier once you get to your team and start evaluating papers? I feel so ...
  11. ' I will message you as soon as I figure out how. Thanks so much!
  12. Working as WGU evaluator worth anything on resume?

    Not true. I am an evaluator at WGU and I am an MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
  13. AANP, FNP 2016 Exam

    I ordered this book and it was the "biggest" waste of money. I was lucky that Amazon would take it back. It is nothing more than a small think paperback book with like 50 multiple choices questions in it.
  14. How did you spend your first nursing paycheck?

    41 years ago at $3.25 an hour I have absolutely no idea! I'm sure I filled up my car for less than $1.00 a gallon. Money went a lot further in those days and I was still living at home and was only 20 years old. LOL.
  15. Ohio University FNP Online?

    Has anyone attended their program or know anyone who has. They are saying the FNP takes 27 months and the entire cost is $22,100. The cost makes me weary Trying to find reviews on the internet but not having any success.
  16. Home Health Psych Nurse

    Anyone have any experience working as a Psych Home Heath Nurse? I wondering if I will be seeing mostly Medicare dementia type patients or patients with dx's such as Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Axis 2, etc? I didn't worry working in a psych hospital beca...
  17. RN-BSN programs

    I spent the same amt of time at Chamberlain but it was $32,000. Wish I could re-do. However I spent $9,000 for my Masters at a local New Jersey University so I guess that balanced it out.
  18. Brian Short News

    I am tremendously saddened by this tragedy. AN has helped me in many different ways and for many, many years. I have gone from LPN, RN, BSN, MSN, and FNP with the help of AN. There is no place in the world other than AN to find help with the 100's o...
  19. There is currently a palpable low morale among the nurses in the very large teaching hospital where I work. Quite a few seasoned nurses have been fired for seemingly frivolous reasons. Working hard, well-liked, never call in, have never been in troub...
  20. Post Master's Certificates?

    Does anyone know of an online post MSN certificate program for psychiatric NP? Price will be a consideration.. Do not want to pay out of state tuition because it is so much higher. Thoughts anyone?
  21. Moved to a different thread

    Sorry1
  22. I would love to get my DNP but need a program that is 100% online. No requirement to visit the campus for orientation or whatever. Also cost will be a factor. Prefer a state university but would consider any school that is reasonable. Thanks!
  23. Thank you MaryJean. I will check it out. I am an FNP-BC
  24. I'm an LPN and I understand.

    Very well and eloquently said. I was an LPN, RN, BSN, and now an NP. We all have our niche!
  25. I work full-time and go to school full-time. I am one tired woman but I'm determined to get done and will be soon!
