   Starting a volunteer parish health ministry

   efthimia519 replied to Jeniele's topic in Parish

   The first step in conducting a needs assessment to see the needs and interests of your parish members.

   DNP vs EdD

   efthimia519 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Educators

   TheSquire, are you apposed to non NPs pursuing a DNP? On a separate note, is anyone familiar with an EdD program that offers NFLP other than Coumbia's that was previously mentioned? The NFLP program is for nurses who are teaching full time or plan to teach full time but yet most educational programs that are offering NFLP are DNP programs rather than EdD programs. Thoughts?

   DNP vs EdD

   efthimia519 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Educators

   Regis College has a DNP with a nursing education concentration. They offer this through both the online and the on campus programs. They are very well established and by no means a "diploma mill" They also have the NFLP program. Good luck with whatever you decide.

   DNP - Nursing Education

   efthimia519 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Doctoral

   You do have to complete 1000 hours but you get credit for your MSN hours if you can verify them. I also received credit/ hours for board certification and participation in professional organizations, Sigma etc. I believe you get credit for ANA too.

   DNP with Education Focus - Help!

   efthimia519 replied to coupleofnutts's topic in Doctoral

   I agree, be honest. I used the DNP essentials and referenced many of them in my application. I also wrote about how earning a DNP would allow me to make contributions to the nursing profession and nursing education.
