The first step in conducting a needs assessment to see the needs and interests of your parish members. There is a Faith Community Nursing course that provides tons of info, some are online some are in person. I also recommend these books Hickman, J...

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 ...

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 wha...

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.

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.

Regis is a good choice. Their online and on campus programs are well respected. They also have a good amount of money for NFLP. I am starting in the fall on campus.

Starting tomorrow, looking to see if anyone is starting this spring 2018 semester?

Congrats, and good luck to you! First class down, so far so good.

vitiana, did you apply for fall 2017? kianasimone did you ever end up applying and if so are you attending?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, there are at least 2 people who have posted withing this long thread that they applied to the PMHNP program and were admitted, was hoping that one of them might respond,

Just applied to the PMHNP program for Summer 17 start. Was wondering how those who started last summer are doing? Anybody else applying for this summer?

Hi there, Wondering if you decided to do this program? I am looking at it now as well.

wondering how you made out? Did you make the switch? If so , did you find it hard to land the OR job? I have been a nurse for 17 years and almost all of it has been psych, inpatient and outpatient community mental health. I have done lots of medi...

was wondering if you ever ended up taking this program? if so, was it what you had expected and hoped for?

Hi there, yes sorry about that advanced pathophysiology , there is no longer an advanced psychopharm, just advanced pharm which worries me because regular pharm is just that, regular pharm. I am guessing that they had integrated psychopharm into psy...

Yes I am , I believe that I am taking Advanced Physiology and Evidenced based care. I am giving this careful consideration and may opt for the 3 year as well. I do have to work and have other demands of home and family. I am happy to have found y...

nightnurse279 I love your yellow lab! I have a yellow and a black one anyway, I am glad to hear that you have been happy with the program. I am starting with 2 courses over the summer and officially start the program in the fall. I see that yo...

Oops forgot to say that pedi psych np are in huge demand here

I think it may depend on your location. I am in the greater Boston area and there is a huge need, many opportunities. Two friends of mine that graduated last May had multiple offers before they graduated. They both had many years of psych nursing...

was wondering if you ever applied and if so, your thoughts? Looking into this program for fall 16. Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply and suggestions!

was wondering if you ever found out anything....did you ever apply and attend? I am looking into this program now, I live in MA

Hi there, this is a very old thread but I thought it was worth a shot to reach out. I am applying to a MSN Nurse Educator program as well and would love to take a look at some sample statements of purpose. I can't find much online. my email is ep...

knlake is right, MA is a tough market. Almost all hospitals are now requiring new grads to have BSN and experienced RNs without BSN are also having a hard time unless they know somebody. Many other states will be more willing to welcome a non BSN p...

hi nursetim, thanks for taking the time to reply but all your earlier post says is that the pay in Wilmington is usually lower than other parts of the state. I am trying to find an actual dollar amount. I am certainly willing to provide my personal...
