    Mark Hill BSN replied to Mark Hill BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Impressed or not impressed, I don't think your awe of the CCNE, (or lack there of) will have any influence on the process. As I have said in the past, CCNE is the current bellwether for...

    I never claimed that they would be forced, I stated that I "believe" it will happen, similar to pharmacist. Becoming a DNP takes more than a year in most cases, and the dissertation is enough to...

  23. Part-Time NP Programs: Opinions?

    Mark Hill BSN replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree that oversaturation could be an issue. NP programs being forced to move toward DNP will bring the outflow of NPs to a screeching halt. I believe this will happen in just a few more years....
