    Cauliflower replied to Cauliflower's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    thanks Guide: that's exactly the point. what's the worth of getting the DNP degree to become "an expert in the use of research?" am i just missing something? if it won't make people better...

    Cauliflower replied to DisappointedRN's topic in First Year After Licensure
