I am a new grad nurse and started working on a neuro unit in Oct 2020. Due to the hiring freeze at hospitals cause of COVID-19, I had couple months of break between the time I passed the NCLEX and when I landed the job. I always wanted to pursue high...

Hey... well I'm not sure why there is no DNP forum, considering seems as if this is going to be the new standard. Not sure if this is the right place but I digress... I have selected an idea; I want to encourage contraceptive use for patients wi...

I realize there are many people who find no value in a DNP. I have to say that I’m a little disappointed in my BSN-DNP program, especially in the era of the pandemic. One of the things that shocked me was sitting in an advanced assessment course and ...

Dear Nurse Beth, I graduated with my BSN in 2018 and had some not so great experiences during one of my rotations. This created a lot of anxiety for me thinking about working in a hospital. I always knew I ultimately wanted to work as a NP in...

I've been waiting to see if anyone posted a topic for the UW DNP 2020 application cycle. Anyone here apply this year? Nervous to see how the online interview is structured.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on here so I hope I’m doing things correctly. I’m currently in school completing prereqs for an ABSN program in hopes to become an NP. I was doing research the other day and found an APNI program a...
