I would look at PhD programs where you would receive full funding. I didn't pay a dime for my PhD (nursing with an informatics specialty). I would focus first on finding and advisor that you want to work with and whose research you admire. Contact...

I thought the program was great. Nursing and public health go really well together of course. My friend did peds and pop fam and it took her 3 1/2 years to finish both masters. She also worked full-time at the hospital which I think is the best be...

I was in the joint degree MSN/MPH program though I ended up not finishing my MSN. How long it will take you depends on what your nursing specialty is, if you plan to go part-time or full-time and if you plan to do the general MPH program or one of t...

Have you tried doing a mock interview with someone who can give you objective feedback?

So the most important factor in selecting a PhD program is finding a mentor whose research interests match yours. It's really better to go to a lower ranked school with a good mentor then to go to a good school with a bad match. I generally tell peo...

I just finished a PhD in Nursing but my specialty was informatics and I will be starting a post-doc in biomedical informatics soon. I can try an answer your questions but first I need to know a few things. What type of research would you like to do...

I agree with the previous posters. I am also a PhD student at a research intensive university, though the nursing school itself is quite small. All of the new faculty and post-docs we have coming in are from similarly research intensive schools. ...

To OP: I think this study sounds fascinating. Maybe also a preliminary study with GLBT parents about their perceptions of care they received? KUP on your findings. Mission

The role of nurses in informatics research and policy.

Am I? http://www.rushu.rush.edu/servlet/Satellite?c=RushUnivNews&cid=1266852230713&pagename=CollegeOfNursing%2FRushUnivNews%2FNews_Detail_Page "Students will be eligible for the Robert Wood Johnson GEM scholarships if they are African-America...

Are you sure you didn't qualify for the minority scholarships? Males in nursing usually count as being underrepresented. Also try searching discovernursing.com.

Hi Morrio82, I am also second career nurse with a ba and ms from my previous field. I completed an accelerated BSN program in '06. 5 years later I can tell you I am very happy with my choice and the opportunities that becoming a nurse has given me.

That should say you can't teach without theory.

Future of nursing report: http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/The-Future-of-Nursing-Leading-Change-Advancing-Health.aspx I think your guess is probably wrong. Nursing is a science (and an art) and you can't teach science with theory. I think, like man...

Mostly 12 month with no teaching for the first 3 years. IMHO, doesn't make sense to accept a 9 month contract if you are doing research.

I agree with others. It's too far down the road to lose a job over. Also, in response to the other poster, part-time where I work is 20 hours.

I have a 2.5 year old. In addition to working a full time jobs I'm also a student. Hubby tried to pull that I don't know how/what to cook nonsense. We had to have a talk about the importance of establishing healthy eating habits and that coming fro...

Community health centers will hire new grads. I don't know how it looks when you apply for a hospital job after working in community health but it does give you great experience for becoming a primary care NP. You also qualify for HRSA Nursing Educat...

I don't know how one can really answer this question, it really varies so much on specialty, where you work, what industry, etc. If the $ is all that matters, you're better off with an MBA.

A lot of factors go into salary: private vs state, research vs non-research school, COL where the school is located, school size, etc. I am in the last year of my PhD and based on the experiences of friends of mine who graduated ahead of me mid-80s ...

I was a programmer for 8 years before going back to nursing school. I have to say, I don't think I would like beside/hospital nursing, but I knew that going into nursing school and it was never my plan. I worked in pediatric LTC when I first graduat...

LOL! I'm pretty sure that was my post. The A train also stops at 168th. You don't have to use the elevator to exit the A train. A lot of people like living in Hudson Heights, which is the neighborhood north of 181st St. and E. of Bway. It's only 2...

If you want to commute from the suburbs another option is to live along the Hudson Line of the Metro North. From there you can transfer at Marble Hill to the 1 train. The 1 train stops directly at 168th St.

You can ususually switch into any track except Anesthesia or Midwifery.

Johns Hopkins has a good online program which is much cheaper than the price you staated above: JHU Applied HIT
