I have a MSN-MHA and enrolled in a DNP class with six semesters 2 classes each and practicum . Its two years easy if I keep my nose to the grindstone and complete my dissertation on time. However I have friends who were MSN prepared and they took 6-7 years for their PHD. I do not know any BSN-DNP schools sorry. But check online.

Hi! I was a ADN also, I understand, however the BSN is becoming preferred especially in MAGNET hospitals. In order to maintain Magnet status you need to show an increase in BSN levels. At our hospital, so far, the ADN and Diploma nurses are ok however if you apply to our hospital as an ADN you have 3 years upon hire to become a BSN.We are surrounded by ADN schools, I can only imagine how those feel when they hear the news. However at 53 with 34 years in, I have went back, yes 25 years later, for my BSN on line, MSN,MHA and now DNP.I am sure it is an obsession now! Your young, check out your hospitals tuition reimbursement program, take on line classes and trust me, it is a picnic compared to nursing school and taking the exam. What do you have to lose except a little sleep and time. You will keep your job you love. You will also see that you are still and RN and no test to take after!

Hi is this a good PICO question: Does the use of Universal protocol influence the decrease of wrong side surgery in surgical patient who have surgical procedures regarding laterality. I am also being asked for time, so would that be with in the surgical case time? essentially I am trying to see if using Universal protocol is helping to decreased wrong site/side surgery. Thanks Penn
