  1. Management Progression Assistance

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I was just taken aback that they don't really consider any experience outside of directly in a hospital to be actual experience. Management and leadership skills aren't developed in a bubble. There's...

  2. Management Progression Assistance

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I don't hate the bedside. I take nursing students to the bedside and I help onboard new hire nurses as well. I spend a lot of time at the bedside. I can love and enjoy doing all of that, but aim...

  3. Management Progression Assistance

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you -- management is often far too removed from reality to be effective. Unit managers should be very hands-on and involved in the day-to-day operations of the unit at a minimum....

  4. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    Lots of schools offer a post master's certificate or you can complete it alongside your MSN or DNP to become an

  5. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    I still highly recommend the nurse educator courses, especially if you desire to go beyond clinical instructor. The knowledge is invaluable and you'll already have a leg up!

  6. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    If you have a desire to teach, at least go somewhere where you can get a nurse educator certificate. I hate how higher education places NO value on teachers knowing how to teach. It doesn't matter how...

  7. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    There is a huge nursing faculty shortage. This is directly correlated with the nursing shortage. So many qualified applicants are turned away every year. However, keep in mind that if you teach in a...

  8. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    Great advice in this post. You can always add an educator certificate to an APRN master's degree if you want both. I knew I had no desire to be a NP. I am getting my EdD currently - I love it....

  9. Do Grades Matter?

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello! I am currently pursuing my EdD. I have always been someone who strived to achieve all As and came very close in my ADN and did achieve it in my BSN and MSN. I am now pursuing an EdD. I need to...

  10. Is there is BSN to DNP Education Degree?

    HOPEforRNs replied to dtaylor723's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes this is 100% accurate. I haven't found a single DNP in nursing education degree that isn't from a for profit school with the exception of Case Western. Even then, its a DNP with a few extra...

  11. Drexel University EDD with Nursing Education Concentration 2021

    HOPEforRNs replied to lyndsay1985's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You don't need it. My MSN is in nursing education as well and I found many of the doctoral programs with nursing education focuses were overlaps with my MSN courses. I'm getting my EdD in healthcare...

  12. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    I am not sure any quality program will award you a MSN in only 1 year. Most programs are 1.5 - 2 years long. Also, to do a post master's program at Frontier University, your master's degree has to be...

  13. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    HOPEforRNs replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  14. Clarkson College EdD

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is anyone enrolled in or graduated from the EdD in Health Care Education & Leadership from Clarkson

  15. Clarkson College EdD

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You sound similar to me! I have no interest in a PhD as I don't want to beg for money as part of my job and have requirements to publish and present. I do enjoy research, but the requirement would...

  16. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    HOPEforRNs replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP is largely useless letters you'll be required to get because nursing is a game of alphabet soup. The fancier your letters, the better you are. It's ridiculous but it's the reality. I would...

  17. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    HOPEforRNs replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The DNP was created to turn nurse practitioners into experts at translating evidence into practice. It does not contain any hard science and will not improve your actual ability to treat individual...

  18. DNP vs EdD

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

    You can't get tenure where I work without a PhD. However, I have no interest in a PhD. I am just thinking of doing the DNP executive leadership track. I just don't know what I would do my project in....

  19. DNP vs EdD

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

    I have literally never seen an EdD program that is on par with a DNP program. Every one I have seen is closer related to a PhD than an EdD. The PhD is a research degree while the EdD is slightly more...

  20. DNP vs EdD

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

    It's much closer to a PhD than a DNP. Just comparing a PhD and EdD in the same field side by side there are very minor differences. The PhD has 1 extra research methodology course compared to the EdD....

  21. DNP vs EdD

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

    I don't see it as a duplicate. I see it as a gap that needs filled. The EdD is a research degree. The DNP is perfect for bridging the research to practice gap. There are many of us who wish to bridge...

  22. DNP vs EdD

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

    I agree. This is why I hope the DNE becomes a "thing" because I think nursing education needs it. The EdD is great, but it's being phased out for nursing and it's still a research heavy degree. I am...

  23. DNP vs EdD

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

    I was referring to the EdD and PhD being similar. Both are research focused with candidacy and dissertation. Both 4-5 years

  24. DNP vs EdD

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

    But why not get your PhD then? Similar degrees with similar requirements. I'm holding out for the DNE I've read about. Seems like what education

  25. DNP vs EdD

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

    At least for me, the EdD is longer, more difficult, more expensive. While relevant, my employer looks at PhD >
