  1. Capella University

    HOPEforRNs replied to bahamagirlrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I work for a large state University and a top 20 ranked nursing program. I had no concerns regarding my MSN from Capella. They only cared about two things: (1) regional accreditation and (2) CCNE...

  2. MSN Education is it worth it? or this concentration is more about your passion?

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

    Do you have experience working with nursing students on your unit? Do you take any education based initiatives on your unit? Look at community colleges and get into teaching clinical and skills lab....

  3. Capella University vs. Walden

    HOPEforRNs replied to freezebabyRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I also respectfully disagree. I teach at one of the top 20 nursing programs in this country. I compared the rigor of my MSN at Capella to the rigor of the MSN where I teach and they are very...

  8. Plagiarism Question/Help

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I got written up today for plagiarism in my graduate program (MSN). ​I always submit my papers to TurnItIn before submitting them to my professor. The only "dings" I get are student papers...

  9. References with Discussion Boards

    HOPEforRNs posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm about to finish my MSN. My husband just finished his master's of science in computer science. I find it odd how different it is. For example, we have to have at least one reference for every...

  10. References with Discussion Boards

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Obviously. But it's not a discussion if I regurgitate someone else's research. Am I not allowed to have my own thoughts? My own opinions? Discuss my own experiences? That is shunned in grad school. It...

  11. Capella University

    HOPEforRNs replied to bahamagirlrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

  15. MSN Education is it worth it? or this concentration is more about your passion?

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

    I work as a nurse educator / faculty and I am about halfway through my MSN in Nursing Education. In my opinion, there is a severe lack of educators who know how to educate. Way back in the day, all...

  16. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

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

    Education degrees were the first advanced nursing degrees. It's been a more recent and unfortunate trend for educators to be APRNs with no formal training on how to educate. I started my MSN in...

    HOPEforRNs replied to Jm0136's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I usually have 5 patients. Very very busy 5 patients... The kind of patients that have been step-down at previous hospitals... But it's a great learning experience with coworkers that have your

  22. I HATE bedside nursing

    HOPEforRNs replied to Sabr's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I hated my first nursing job. I left after 15 months. I still work at the bedside and it's the best that bedside nursing can be but I still hate it. I primarily work as clinical faculty and I love it....

    HOPEforRNs replied to RNPATL's topic in Medical-Surgical

  24. Path to DNP/PhD/EdD

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Originally, yes. But it's only because the DNP isn't able to get national accreditation. DNP programs for educators are not formally recognized by the accreditation agency yet. They are regionally...

    HOPEforRNs replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students
