  1. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree. The DNP certainly has the potential to further the field of nursing but it's disorganized and these for-profit DNP programs that are popping up like weeds are diluting it from what it should...

  2. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I sincerely hope we never sit down nor shut up! I think eventually, if nursing can ever organize and standardize itself, that the DNP will be immensely important for us. I completely agree that we...

  3. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Our title is nurse practioner. DNP programs are horribly disparate at the moment and with more and more for-profit schools diluting the profession and the DNP even further, it's going to be a very...

  4. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm not downplaying or disrespecting anything. Use the title all you want, but expect the aforementioned eyerolling and some professional backlash if you use it in a clinical

  5. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It has nothing to do with people disrespecting doctoral level degrees. It's that someone in a clinical setting besides an MD is being called doctor. No one cares about a PhD in English in a...

  6. Post-Masters FNP then DNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to mu4ever's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's definitely doable! Seems like a roundabout way of going after it. You could get your NP certification while getting your DNP? Would turn 3 years of school into

  8. HELP DNP vs FNP

    Anonymous1257 replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Advantage: People you went to school with will call you doctor. No scope of practice benefits. No difference in pay. It does not qualify you for independent practice anywhere that MSNs don't...

  11. Is psych nursing usually this eventful?

    Anonymous1257 replied to golson's topic in Psychiatric

    It depends, in a psych ICU or psych ER, this seems par for the course. In pretty much all other psych environments this is very uncommon. I spent a month full-time in a psych ICU at the end of...

  12. Questions from prospective NP

    Anonymous1257 replied to FutureNP777's topic in Nursing Career

    What state are you in that psych jobs are scarce? I find that hard to believe. But regardless, yes I view it as not worth it. And on a nit picking point, just because others on this site can be...

  13. It can be done! (BSN straight to PMHNP)

    Anonymous1257 replied to hakhama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Good for you! I get very tired of the argument that for some reason nurse practitioners desperately need RN experience, but MDs, DOs, and PAs are good to go. No one is saying it isn't beneficial,...

  14. Answer on what is your weakness is my answer ok?

    Anonymous1257 replied to jamesethan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This sounds good, but I had a very similar answer prepared for a recent interview and was told "that sounds like a temporary problem you're overcoming, tell us a weakness about you as a person" That...

  15. Question about pre req's and accelerated nursing program

    Anonymous1257 replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you come out of that schedule mentally intact you'll have had a good taste of what an accelerated program feels like time wise. Good

  16. Questions from prospective NP

    Anonymous1257 replied to FutureNP777's topic in Nursing Career

    If you're interested in advanced practiced nursing the DNP is the "clinical" degree. The PhD is for individuals interested in research and pursuing the highest levels of academia professionally. The...

    1) Math in nursing is primarily medication calculations, which requires you to understand dimensional analysis. It's not particularly hard, just mostly division, multiplication, and unit conversions....

  18. Accelerated Programs

    Anonymous1257 replied to Ang246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's typically difficult to maintain employment during accelerated programs, but some people manage to do it. In my accelerated 12 month RN program between studying, assignments, clinicals, and class...

  19. Nursing School vs. Real Life

    Anonymous1257 replied to Hollyhocks720's topic in General Students

    You'll learn more about nursing in your first 3 months in the job than you will in all of nursing school. Nursing school teaches you the minimum you need to know to start practicing safely, not...

  21. GPA needed for NP program?

    Anonymous1257 replied to futurenurse9999's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It's completely dependent on the programs to which you apply. You could roll into a for-profit, online NP program with a 2.0 as long as you've got the cash. A reputable, established NP program will...
