Arnetta replied to the topic Seeking Advice on Balancing Work, Study, and Personal Life as a DNP Student in the forum DNP Student Concerns 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Hi Marvelous, thank you for your question. I am a full-time DNP student and was a transfer student last year. So, my first year at the previous university was scattered and disconnected; I had been out of school for almost 20 years, so I had to get acclimated to studying and working simultaneously. What helped me was I had to sit down and write…[Read more]

Your situation looks to be a cause for insomnia if not a peptic ulcer, Christine. I hope all of this comes together. One thing I’ve noticed in doctoral education, and DNP education in particular, is the urgency to rush students through in a short amount of time. Most doctorate degrees require at least 3 years (or longer) yet the DNP degree…[Read more]

Hi Jennifer,
I, too, have never considered going into academia after graduating with this DNP degree. As a hobby or something on the side, I wanted to spearhead mission trips to different third-world countries. Bring students and mentor them within the hospitals and clinics in these third-world countries. I have a love for traveling and have…[Read more] -

This question is excellent because some students struggle to balance school, work, and social life. I moved to California for my DNP program without any friends or family. I started my program part-time to help me acclimate to the new area, work, and school. Initially, it was a lonely journey, but I am still adjusting to living in California and…[Read more]

As this appears to be the trend, I believe it’s important for education on the DNP’s skill set to be implemented statewide and nationally. DNPs can be crucial in advocating for…[Read more]
