It isn't about an RN or a small group of RNs, but how do Most RNs outcomes compare when they receive advanced education. There is significant amount of research that show advanced education does help...
1. 100% O2 with general anesthesia 2. TAP blocks with neuraxial opioids for C-sections 3. Dexamethasone with PNBs 4. High flow with nasal cannulas during hypoventilation or apnea to increase the time...
I think it makes students understand the nursing role better, a certain amount of experience makes students easier to teach (too much and it makes them more inflexible in their thinking), and it gives...
I am more likely to use EBP to guide my practice since getting my doctorate. In that regard I do practice differently. No one is forcing the DNP on anyone. You do not have to get the DNP if you want...
I know exactly the requirement for nurse anesthesia school and there is absolutely no research to back up that requirement even though anecdotally I agree there should be at least a 2 year critical...
Do you have any research to back up that "clinical experience trumps any degree", because there are lots of research in nursing that shows just the opposite. Clinical experience is important, but it...
The vast majority of CRNAs are happy with being a CRNA. CRNA has one of the highest job satisfaction rates of any job. The CRNAs that I hear that are dissatisfied are usually dissatisfied with where...
When people stop talking about a degree they almost know nothing about then maybe I will quit using that line. In other words get over it, and just in case you missed I provided several articles, the...
The DNP outcome studies are being done and some are done. I am still adjunct faculty at one university and all these DNP studies are a big thing at the university. The DNP is still relatively new and...
The answer is so simple, if you don't believe that the DNP isn't worth it. Then don't get the DNP, but for thousands of other nurses and many national organizations the transition to APNs being...
It doesn't up any doors? I have been offered several different positions/interviews based on my Doctorate. My doctorate gives me a chance to work in variety of positions including education, direct...
Nurses arguing over the DNP is always a stupid argument, if you don't want to get the DNP then don't get it. You also shouldn't be disparaging a degree that nurses have worked hard to earn and was...
Your sole stated reason for the rapid expansion of DNPs was that nursing schools wanted to make more money. I refuted that. You want research to prove to you that the DNP is a worthwhile degree, but...
Contributions of advanced practice nurses with a DNP degree during palliative and end-of-life care of children with cancer. - PubMed - NCBI Nurses in the United States with a practice doctorate:...
Using your criteria where is the research to back up any of your statements. You have a lot of opinions, but not a one of them is backed up with research of any kind. I understand what CRNAs bring to...
I understand why schools are making the conversion to the DNP and some of that is financial, but that doesn't explain all the nurses going back for a MSN-DNP or the nurses choosing to get a DNP over...
Yep, that must be why new DNP programs are opening all the time and there are already thousands of DNP graduates. Is it so awful to have a group of nurses that actually have ability to understand and...
The DNP isn't a requirement for anyone except CRNAs graduating in 2025 or later. There are numerous ongoing studies looking at what DNPs bring to the table. APNs are all already extremely safe, so it...
