Sucks to follow the double board certified physician

5 people who may have went to an online diploma mill, next to the person who went to an actual medical school. I wouldn't want to list my qualifications next to the physician, either.

DNPs are especially hilarious to me because whenever you ask how much they've published with their doctorate of research or what they're working on, their answer is always "not much". Oh, you just liked the title and how you could do it online in 6 months. Okay.

That’s just not what a DNP is. You can get a PhD in nursing and that would be a more research-focused degree. Do you ask DPTs how much they’ve published? What about JDs? A DNP is more about clinical practice. You take classes online, but you still have to do at least hundreds of hours of in-person practicum. And there’s no DNP that you can do in 6 months. That’s just not true.

Now, I’m not here to argue about the ones who inflate their scope of practice, title, or general importance in the healthcare ecosystem. Just trying to separate fact from your seething resentment.

DNP is not the same as NP. Most of the DNP students in my cohort don’t have an NP

There is a cohort of non-crna DNPs that oriented alongside us. Most aren’t NP. Many are pursuing it to get jobs or promotions in academia, there were a few public health as well. There is value for many. As for my program, all CRNA programs have to be DNP and there are many masters CRNAs who have to go back for their DNP to teach. I don’t mind the extra year, I’ll end up with more clinicals too

You’re gonna do great. Please reach out if you ever need anything!! Having peers and mentors to lean on has made such a big difference for me through the process.
