Even if they are paying for it. I make at least 100 dollars an hour. How is that reimbursed?

Good question- I hadn't thought of that:)

If I can secure funding for a DNP I'll do it, but I wouldn't say for one myself at least not in my present state of mind.

Clinical work is becoming less appealing. I enjoy my adjunct faculty position, and I'd like to be in leadership/administration so the DNP could help with those.

I agree this why I want to transition to a non-direct patient care role. Burnout is real on my end!

Me too. Super burnt out.

I am curious about getting into education or research (not nursing research) but I don't think I need a PhD or DNP to be able to work in research. I most certainly don't want to be a PI and write grant proposals.

I really don't think I will get a DNP even though I've been mulling over it. I look at the classes and I just get so turned off.

Once I complete my PMHNP program I plan to get a post-masters DNP

I'd love to continue education some day and become an FNP, but since it seems the trend is going towards schools requiring a doctoral level degree for their practitioner programs, maybe not. No interest in that much more schooling.
