  5. Nurses are Not Doctors

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    When I complete my BSN to DNP program I will have 1080 clinical hours from a 3 year program. Not all programs are the same. There are choices in providers so that those who only care to see physicians...

  6. BSN-DNP, no experience

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to acarlow's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I do not believe that being a floor nurse has added anything to my BSN to DNP experience. I believe it is 2 completely separate positions with different needs. I have met successful NPs that never...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in General Nursing

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to SeekingNewCareer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Let's talk: Nursing Shortage?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    There is no shortage in my neck of the woods. In fact RNs have been laid off from the local hospital and a whole unit was closed. I tell my children to go into other areas of healthcare if that's what...

  13. What is/was your job going through grad school?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to 403RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I stopped working at the hospital last June. I taught clinicals for a community college RN program last Fall. It's too much to work full time and be a full time grad student. I'm not working this...

  14. Laying off RNs

    Palliative Care, DNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    Schools must stop preaching the nursing shortage fallacy. Yesterday, five of my old co-workers that are RNs were laid off. That was just one unit of the hospital. Each floor cut staff. Not sure how...

  17. Need a new career

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to shawna90's topic in Nursing Career

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to 20plusyearRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I began as an ADN then went directly into a BSN program. I am currently in graduate school for the DNP. I believe one of the mistakes with nursing is having so many entry points. Nursing is viewed as...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Toad72's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way. I'm in graduate school and really enjoy seeing patients in the FNP role. I would have gone back to stay at home mom otherwise. If I'm going to be a waitress/maid I will do that...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to maluakua's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
