  1. DNP vs EdD

    I haven't done anything because I haven't felt like anything is "right." Columbia would be great on paper, but I am so annoyed by the fact they give you 0 credit hours for your last 2 years which...
  2. I'm actually in Ohio! Happy to connect with you if you'd
  3. PhD nurses educating DNP students

    I think the DNP had so much potential, but it's not there. If the goal was to make NPs better able to translate evidence into practice, sure. If the goal was to make sure APRNs actually get some hard...
  4. Is it Worth it?

    I did get my MSN in Nursing Education from Capella, but before the FlexPath was an option. I enjoyed my program. I do work as an educator in a BSN program full-time. Sometimes I am working 40+ hours....
  5. There is a lot of collaboration and material sharing where I work. I have never had anyone tell me "no" when I asked to see their course materials or help with
  6. Am I too young in experience to teach?

  7. DNP - Nursing Education

    I am looking for a DNP accredited through ACEN to avoid the 1,000 hours post bachelor's. I have my MSN in Nursing Education, so I only have 100 clinical hours and have no interest in getting 900 more....
  8. Am I too young in experience to teach?

    I second this. I think younger nurses make great nursing professors, but you definitely need to have worked in the area you're teaching. My med/surg professor had written textbooks on med/surg...
  9. PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    DNE = doctor of nursing education. Think DNP but for education instead of advanced practice. "A viable solution to the need for well-qualified doctorally prepared nurse educators is a terminal...
  10. PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    This is why I hope the DNE becomes a big thing or that EdD degrees become a thing again. No current common pathways prepare you to
  11. PhD or DNP to become Faculty?

    I teach at a top nursing program and they STRONGLY prefer PhD. You will not find any tenure track or research track that are anything but PhD. Most everyone else has a DNP but it doesn't get you...
  12. DNP vs EdD

    I am SO excited I actually found someone in the program!! I will be e-mailing you. Thanks so
  13. Has anyone graduated from Columbia's EdD Nurse Educator program or are currently in the program? The program is on my short list and I'd love to talk to someone in the program or who has gone through...
  14. DNP vs EdD

    I definitely feel like the EdD from Columbia will make me personally feel better, but it's just hard to justify the extra 3 years when my job won't care. I could get a DNP from an online diploma mill...
  15. DNP vs EdD

    The DNE doesn't yet exist. It's being created by The Ohio State University so I feel fairly confident it will be a wonderful degree once all the hoops are jumped through (such as getting CCNE...
  16. DNP vs EdD

    I don't think a doctorate in education is meaningless letters. I have a feeling the director you are referencing wouldn't have been any better with ANY degree or letters after her name. What letters...
  17. Just curious, is there a shortage?

    Thankfully, I can make ends meet with my teaching salary and I am also married so I am not the only one bringing in a salary. This job would be much more challenging if I was single and trying to...
  18. Just curious, is there a shortage?

    No, that's full time 9 month new hire MSN level hires. I work at a state institution, so salaries are public. I get state teachers retirement, so benefits are fabulous. I teach lab 20 hours fall...
  19. Just curious, is there a shortage?

    Most MSN prepared 9 month faculty at the universities around me pay $60k starting out. For only working 9 months out of the year and getting school breaks off, that's pretty darn good money plus the...
  20. Am I too young in experience to teach?

    Do it!! Nursing was a second career for me. I started my MSN exactly 3 years into being a nurse. I worked contingent as a RN during school and my first couple years teaching. I no longer do as I have...

  25. Capella University

    I did the MSN program so I can't answer too many of your questions. 2 classes, if you also have a job, is a lot of work. I can see why they only recommend 2. As a grad student, that was considered...
