  1. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi! I have been a RN for almost 2 years and I recently got an amazing job opportunity. My previous BSN instructor recommended me for a departmental opening - a faculty position in the skills and...

  2. Clarkson College ED.D. program

    HOPEforRNs replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    If you want to teach at the BSN level or higher, you need a doctorate. So, in reality, MSN is just a stepping stone to a career in academia anyway. I think it is the best stepping stone unless you...

  3. Clarkson College ED.D. program

    HOPEforRNs replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I 100% agree. The certification makes sense for many because most educators do not have an MSN in nursing education or a post-masters certificate. It's a great way to show expertise. However, it seems...

  4. Clarkson College ED.D. program

    HOPEforRNs replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi! I am currently an EdD student at Clarkson College. It's a WONDERFUL program, and I couldn't be happier. They are a well-respected nonprofit school that is affiliated with Nebraska Medicine. The...

  5. DNP vs EdD

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have my BSN from the same top 5 nursing program where I have taught for the past 5 years. My MSN (nursing education) is from Capella University. My job is pushing me hard to get a terminal degree....

    Hello! I have been an RN for 11 years. I have spent the past 7 years working full-time as a nursing professor. I have my BSN and MSN (nursing education) and I am finishing up my EdD in healthcare...

    I have said multiple times that CNO is my end goal - assistant nurse manager is what I want to make my entry point. No, I am 100% not dumb enough to get hired as a CNO right now. I am not qualified. I...

    And going from a bedside RN to a charge RN to leadership on the academic side and then back to a bedside RN and charge RN is going to somehow make me realize how much I didn't know when I went in one...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing does not give leadership experience. Nor does it give management experience. And having been a bedside nurse and charge nurse and moved on to leadership/management on the nursing...

    Well, an occasional charge nurse is the only option. At all the hospitals in my area.... after you've been a nurse for 2 years you have to go to training to be a charge nurse and you get put in the...

    Yet nobody can tell me what I'm missing. Please fill me in. I keep asking but nobody will answer. Here's a summary. 4 years FT bedside nurse with 2 as a charge nurse. Additional 6 years as a...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I never said I was looking to get hired as a CNO right now. I'm looking for an ANM position. So I can start working my way up. I worked 4 years full-time as a bedside RN as well as occasional charge...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I worked 4 years as a bedside RN full-time before going into academia. However, I remained working contingent (and worked quite a bit in the Summer) until my third child was born almost a year...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I have a great job that I love currently. Long-term, I would prefer to get involved in hospital-based leadership over academic leadership. With my father-in-law being c-suite at a local large...

  15. Management Progression Assistance

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just not sure what I would learn new from 1-2 years as a bedside nurse when I didn't leave the bedside that long ago and have remained involved in bedside nursing by teaching nursing students and...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody knows how to be an assistant nurse manager or nurse manager until they end up in that specific role. I was a bedside RN and charge nurse for years. Then I moved into mentoring, precepting, and...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    The degree is 50% educational leadership and 50% healthcare administration/leadership. That's why it is 60 credit hours post-masters - lots to cover! However, where I'm at now won't let you move into...

    To get a certification as a nurse executive, you just need 2,000 hours of recent experience running at least 1 hospital unit. You don't need an advanced degree. You need the experience first. But this...

    I'm not trying to get hired straight into a CNO. I'm not crazy. That's my end goal. I am trying to figure out where my entry point is, and I was surprised to see I couldn't even get hired as an...

    C-Suite is anyone with a "chief" title. Common examples include chief nursing officer, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, etc. It is typically considered to be...

    Yes! I am also always dealing with last-minute call-offs, scheduling make-up times, no-shows, students struggling, tutoring, remediation, conflicts amongst students, student crisis... I also have 10...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work at the bedside, so no charge nurse opportunities. I am in charge of the orientation and training of new hire nurses on the med/surg units. The position that would be above me is the...

    I take 8 students at a time to the hospital (total of 32 in a week). I lead a classroom of 170 students or so. In the lab setting, I teach 80 students a week. I lead college-wide committees. In the...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I fully understand it will happen. I'm not opposed to it across the board. I'd just prefer evenings/nights/weekends to not be my standard working hours. My FIL is c-suite for a local health system and...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    How often? Is it safe to have management (especially over multiple units) jump in and take a full patient load when they may not be doing that actual job very often? Would it be a safer / better...
