The old quest DNP or no DNP?

Published

I am a FNP (MSN) and also have a MEd. I love teaching and I am a missionary in Honduras and love that too. I am finding it hard to find an on line teaching job, even though I have classroom experience. Because I am a missionary money is a HUGE issue. Is getting a DNP worth the cost? And what is the cheapest/quickest program out there. I realize that this is not the "right" way to approach an education but in my case it is imperative. Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you looked into opportunities at Western Governors University? I work for them part-time as an adjunct evaluator (I grade student papers and presentations). MSN required for this position. They only require doctorates for course mentor positions. The pay is not great, but the training and flexibility are outstanding. PM me if you'd like to have more info.

Apparently I can not PM someone till I post 15 quality topics. Anyhow, I filled out an application for WGU for an evaluator last night. I had not in the past because I got hung up on the internet requirements - but my IT husband said we met the requirements, what do I know. Hopefully something will come of this. I have felt I was more than qualified for several positions I have applied for but have heard nothing from any of them. I get hung up on the pay question, I do not want to under sale myself, but do not know what the going market is for online positions, so maybe I am asking too much. Thanks for the suggestion!

Liberty has a big online component. Maybe try there?

Good luck finding something.
