    I am an NP (since 2008). I also just received my DNP last May, and I applied to many online adjunct professor jobs right after I got my DNP. I got a job offer after a month and now I teach two...

    What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    christvs replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Wow! Well you certainly have a strong opinion on this matter, and you're not even in a DNP program. I am very offended you call my classes fluff. Do you even realize how that comment of yours feels to...

    What/why do they say our classes are fluff?

    christvs replied to AAC.271's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Because we reference our work with peer reviewed sources. That is what makes them scholarly. It is unfortunate you do not see the value in my education, but that's ok. I see the value and that's all...
