  3. 2015 DNP

    dqbanrn replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Actually, they do. If you read my statement, I specifically say "ARNP" and not CRNA. The reason for this is that the DNP requires a minimum of 1000 clinical hours. CRNA programs typically already...

  5. dual FNP/ACNP certification

    dqbanrn replied to jedi88's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are also pediatric ACNP programs in existence. If you were going to go back to school to get the FNP degree solely for the purpose of being able to see children (below 13 yr), then you could...

    dqbanrn replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  9. frustrated with "online" NP schools

    dqbanrn replied to Betty004's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    on the flip side to the no recommendations argument, ive seen that often, when they dont require them, the rest of the standards are quite high, such as GPA, GRE scores and heavily weighted past...

  12. AANP Certification Exam

    dqbanrn replied to Dixiecup's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  15. Passed ACNP exam

    dqbanrn replied to dqbanrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ANCC and AACN both offer certification for ACNP. Check to make sure it is listed as one of the acceptable certification boards in your state for the ACNP. In florida, it was not specifically listed....

  16. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    so all those 16000 plus hours produces a practitioner that cost way more to educate, way longer to train, and yet yields outcomes similar to an NP. Show me a study, unbiased or otherwise, where...

  17. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    as i understand it, the difference in cost between an NP and and MD refers more to the cost of training. Specifically federal dollars which are used to fund many of the residency programs. Further,...

  18. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Physicians also take many courses that can be argued to have limited clinical application. No singular course makes the difference between NP and DNP. Its joining together of all these that give the...

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Mundinger's original vision for the DNP was a clinical doctorate. if you review columbia university's curriculum for the DNP, it is more clinical focussed than other DNP programs. She is absolutely...

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    a cna can take a 3 week course and call themselves nurses all they want, with the same stipulation they clarify their role in patient care. this is exactly what a DNP does. when people resist...

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  23. What is the difference between NP and DNP?

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    as of yet, there really is no legal recognition for the DNP, meaning its only the certification that wants to require the DNP. However, you need that certification to have a license. I do think that...

    dqbanrn replied to ajhill00's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Alaska, Arizona, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington are among states that have enacted the most expansive NP scopes of practice. In all of these states, the authority of NPs to practice...

    dqbanrn replied to Betty004's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I like the ability to take my classes at starbucks (or where ever). Its a good point that you cant hide at the back of the class, since internet courses tend to have minimums for logging on and...
