    synaptic replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    synaptic replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  4. Why DNP and not MD?

    synaptic replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Clinically wise- the DNP is essentially worthless. It sounds like it may have some merit for leadership and research... if you go to a good school. I thought about it for a while but for financial...

    synaptic replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I also agree with what jules is saying, we get angry when we get called midlevel but if you look at the average NPs work ethic their reason for going back is to "have better hours, more pay, but I...

    synaptic replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    synaptic replied to Desi_Princess's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    synaptic replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. Maybe our outlook isn't too gloomy

    synaptic replied to synaptic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    pretty much it comes down to this: if we are to have the same authority as the docs, and it only takes 2-3 years (sometimes less) for us to get this status, the programs should be supremely difficult,...
