Rania Qaqish replied to the topic Thoughts by Mark Lawrence Schrad. What takeaway do you see for DNP colleagues? in the forum A New Kind of Patriotism 2 years, 5 months ago
Thank you for posting this topic by Mark Lawrence Schrad. It is definitely nice to read this after what healthcare professionals have been through during the past two years of this pandemic. I am an emergency room registered nurse and have worked in the ER during this whole pandemic. Working in the ER meant we were the frontline and protection of…[Read more]

Dannielle Ivey replied to the topic The Value of the DNP; Job Market Outlook/Compensation in the forum DNP Professional Growth 2 years, 5 months ago
Hi Avery,
I think you raise a good point about compensation, for DNP graduates. In my opinion, those with the DNP that have passed their national certification exam should be competitively compensated. A Doctoral prepared APRN is the terminal degree in nursing so in my mind they should have a higher rate of pay than a masters prepared (MSN) APRN…[Read more] -

Hi Avery,
I like your question because it is one I asked myself a lot before deciding to go back to school. I think everyone should do an honest cost-benefit analysis for the options in their situation. This topic is not limited to advanced practice either as nurses starting out have many options. For example, my sister once found a job as a…[Read more]

Steven Watson replied to the topic Well stated and provocative. See this video in the forum Nurses Need Secretaries (YouTube Link) 2 years, 5 months ago
This is called team nursing, or at least a version of it. I enjoyed listening to this video, the presenter brought out many good points. One of the most clinically significant points is the decreased risk for cross-infection by fewer persons crossing the infection barrier. The presenter mentioned a moral objection to the use of international…[Read more]

Brittanee Dominick replied to the topic Ideas of DNP Projects in the forum DNP Student Concerns 2 years, 5 months ago
I feel like this is such a great topic to put on this forum. At the beginning of the DNP programs, the DNP project is one of the first things discussed with the curriculum. I appreciate the timing of the introduction of the DNP project, so it gives students the time to start, as well as keep on thinking of ideas for their DNP project throughout…[Read more]

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree not only provides education for the APRN to function as an independent advanced care provider, but the education involved in the doctoral degree prepares the advanced practice practitioner to be a leader in their field, to make changes in policies and academia, and allows them the autonomy to be change…[Read more]

Alma Rodriguez replied to the topic Thoughts by Mark Lawrence Schrad. What takeaway do you see for DNP colleagues? in the forum A New Kind of Patriotism 2 years, 5 months ago
When I think of patriotism I think of a lot of people, especially people that served our military as the first statement read. There are other words that come to mind before patriotism to describe nurses, such as caregivers, compassionate workers, strong and intelligent. There were a few words to describe nurses when the pandemic began that a lot…[Read more]

Alma Rodriguez replied to the topic The Discouragement Received From Nurse Colleagues When Pursuing DNP in the forum DNP Professional Growth 2 years, 5 months ago
Hello Avery,
I have come across people that have brushed off the importance of a DNP degree once i have mentioned it to them. Thankfully I have also come across people that have praised my decision to go back to school and continue my education because they know the importance nurses make and can only imagine how much more knowledgeful we will be…[Read more] -

Andrea M Whitchurch replied to the topic The Discouragement Received From Nurse Colleagues When Pursuing DNP in the forum DNP Professional Growth 2 years, 5 months ago
I haven’t necessarily received negative comments, so much as a questioning of general confusion as to a DNP not being strictly a Nurse Practitioner. As soon as I say that I am enrolled in a DNP program, the assumption is that I and becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Of course, I go on to explain that the DNP is the degree and that there are 4…[Read more]

Elizabeth Lopez replied to the topic Check out this graphic to anticipate future effort in the forum The 4th Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic 2 years, 5 months ago
This topic I’m sure still hits home to all of us that have worked through the pandemic. The chart that was provided was a great depiction of what took place during the four waves of covid in healthcare settings. Starting from the first wave, I can recall how almost every patient that came in with covid like symptoms if oxygen level was low, they w…[Read more]
