  1. Path to DNP/PhD/EdD

    Yes, Touro's DNP is 100% online. You are never required to go to campus. You will need 1,000 post BSN clinical hours, but you can arrange those locally. 480 hours are included in the program but...
  2. DNP for Nurse Educators

    Capella is where I'm getting my MSN currently and I love it. Unfortunately they cannot let me do my DNP there if it's education based... I already
  3. Does the University you get your BSN from matter?

    I'm faculty at OSU and I used to work at the Medical Center. From my experiences, OSU med center loves to hire their own. Granted they put out great graduates. But the favoring is pretty major. I...
  4. Touro University Nevada

    I will only have 100 clinical hours from my MSN. Is it possible to complete 900 hours in the 12 months or would I need to extend beyond the 12
  5. I'm looking into pursuing the DNP at Capella next year when I finish up my MSN. I currently work as a faculty member (60%) in a BSN program and I love what I do. However, my long-term goals are to...
  6. Funding / Scholarship Ideas

    I know my current employer won't accept a BSN/MSN/DNP that isn't CCNE accredited for pay increases, tenure, promotion, etc. I know why it isn't CCNE accredited and it makes sense, but is that common...
  7. Simulation

    Feel free to PM me with simulation questions. I design and run them as my job and I have presented at several conferences with our work in simulation! :) We have METIman, Sim Man, ECS, and Lucina. You...
  8. DNP Nursing Education

    Walden and Capella have CCNE accredited DNP programs and will allow you to focus on education. I am getting my MSN at Capella currently and it has been an amazing experience thus far (halfway there)....
  9. I am about halfway through my MSN, Nurse Educator program and I currently work as faculty in a BSN program. I think the online resources for the CNE exam + formal education is the best prep. Just...
  10. Nursing Educator Salary

    I work in a BSN program doing skills and simulation. I do a lot of teaching and remediation of skills and I design and run high-fidelity simulations (and some with human patient actors). I also do...
  11. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    And even the "common" classes like physio vary wildly. I took one as part of a NP program (non-degree student) and I have spoken with professors of this class as a part of a NP program at a completely...
  12. Planning to attend Hondros College OH

    I know several nurses who taught at Hondros and ran. They said it's the worst place ever and they wouldn't touch
  13. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    That's great in theory and I certainly don't think we should take that away from nursing. However, especially in primary care, NPs are well on their way towards being THE independent provider. I see a...
  14. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    I can't say that MSN prepared APRNs are deficient, but I have taken "the 3 Ps" at the graduate nursing level and I'm a little frightened. It was part of a CCNE and regionally accredited NP program. It...
  15. Planning to attend Hondros College OH

    A nursing program must be nationally accredited (CCNE or ACEN). Without that, the degree is not worth your time. If you plan to advanced your education outside of what Hondros offers, you'll also want...
  16. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    OP, I'm with you. The rigorous coursework is completely lacking. I'm enrolled in a MSN program right now at a well regarded university and it's a complete joke. It's nothing but useless fluff....
  17. MSN Nursing Education - Worth it?

    I graduate with my MSN in nursing education in a year. I'm happy I did it. I love my current full time job in a BSN program. It'll open up a lot of opportunities. I already have found numerous job...
  18. DNP for Nurse Educators

    I found that my school won't accept or acknowledge a degree that isn't accredited. I know the DNP for educators can't be accredited yet but it doesn't matter. Check with your employer
  19. I'm a BSN RN currently enrolled in a MSN Nurse Educator program. I absolutely love hands-on education, especially simulation. I am trained on METIman, iStan, and Lucina. I do interprofessional...
  20. Does the military hire nurse educators?

    I contacted several health care recruiters. I'm waiting to hear back. How long does it take to get a response? It's been about 3
  21. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    I agree, mostly. But my interest is more so research into the practice application of simulation, not the research behind it. I also have no interest in living off grants. I want to be hands on......
  22. Hello! I am currently a RN working in education. I work 24 hours a week and I love my job and hope to always stay here. My long term goals are to earn a DNP as it will be very beneficial to my current...
  23. Can a new APRN only work PT or PRN?

    The DNP programs that are educational based are not CCNE accredited which means my employer won't recognize it,
  24. Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    You'll definitely want to work with a tutor. If you plan to get a BSN or higher down the road, it's VERY writing intensive. And the grading is much more harsh and the writing more difficult than any...

    Bump - interested in more responses
