christvs DNP, RN, NP

Hi! I have not been on allnurses in a while. :) I have been working as an NP for over 10 years now. I enjoy the population I work with full time in my outpatient adult diabetes clinic. I also received my DNP last May, and am now also teaching online ...

I feel like this is my one big fuzzy area in nursing. I memorize what I do when I get a patient on Coumadin, and then I forget it until I have another pt. on it. Can you explain to me exactly what INR stands for and based on the numbers how you (well...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words :) Christine

I work full time as an NP. I only teach two classes online as an adjunct instructor for my side jobs. One class pays me $3300 to teach it, the other pays me $4500 to teach it. This way the money I make teaching is extra spending money for me, I love ...

See my previous post. But also I found that it helped to mention on my resume that I had years of experience being a TA while in grad school and also that I acted as a preceptor for NP students at my full time NP Clinic job. I think having your docto...

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 different classes at two different grad schools for NP st...

Hi everyone! Wow, this is so very cool to be able to post this: I first came onto all nurses.com around 2005 or so when I first became an RN with my BSN. I have been an NP since 2008, and as of two months ago also received my DNP! :) I've been workin...

Thanks for your advice everyone! I really appreciate it. :) I am also going to be in a nurse educator certificate program...am super excited to be doing this! I really feel it will be so very helpful for me in order to reach my educator goals. I foun...

Hello everyone! I have been working as an NP for over 8 years now. I also just graduated last week with my DNP. I am hoping to get a part time position teaching NP students online as an online adjunct professor. I applied to over 20 such positions so...

I actually did apply to the school I got my BSN too! Plus the school I got my MSN at too!!! :)

I did also apply to RN programs too. I will take anything! :)

Hi! Is anyone else a current DNP student who is also struggling with getting permission to just START their capstone project? I am graduating with my post-Master's DNP degree in May 2017, yet I have not started implementing my project yet. I have sp...

Thanks guys! Good to know I'm not alone. Thanks for the encouragement...I am hanging in there!! :)

Wow Elizabeth! Your day sounds great! Good for you! And I totally get what you mean about the high level of noise being upsetting! :) It is so nice to get home after a 9 hour day to a nice quiet home! :) I work full time as an NP. I have recently sta...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :) Christine

Hi everyone! Just curious as to see if any of you fellow NPs out there are also writing health blogs, whether online or in print. I have worked as an NP since 2008, and lately have been "itching" to branch out and do more than only see patients full ...

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 DNP students working full time and going to schoo...

If you are any DNP then fine, just don't apply to any DNP program. I don't think it's right to bash a program you are not even in especially for those of us working hard like me who are in a DNP program. I have no problem with someone choosing not to...

Perhaps you should consider going to medical school, as I see how highly you speak of it. I admire physicians with regards to their knowledge and experience but as a nurse I also value our doctorate programs too for different reasons. Especially beca...

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 that matters to me. I refuse to let your negative c...

Hi! I am currently in an online post Master's DNP program and will graduate in May 2017. I definitely do not feel that the DNP classes in my program at UMASS Amherst are "fluff." I have worked so hard in all of the 14 or so classes that I have taken ...

I am almost halfway done with my DNP program. I already have a Master's degree in Nursing and am an NP. I work 40 + hours as an NP and take 2-3 classes per semester. My program is all online except for the clinical project during the last year. My DN...

Hi! I am a new DNP student. I am an NP with an MSN. Just wondering the types of projects other DNP students have done in the past so I can get an idea Christine

On a positive note I wanted to know what those currently in DNP programs love about their program. :) Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

I am currently enrolled part time in a DNP program while I work full time as an NP. I really love my program and am in my 3rd class now and feel I am already learning so much. I am curious to hear from other DNP students and graduates about what they...
