    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...

    Not sure CRNA is for me

    wtbcrna replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    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...

    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...

    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...
