[NPInfo] Clinical doctorate

[Jeffrey Hazzard]

Here we go again.  If the DNP contains the same nursing theory I've had twice already (bachelors and masters level) I'm not interested.  I'll go into sales or be a sailboat delivery captain instead of sitting through it a third time should it become mandatory.  On the other hand, if a clinical doctorate is reality-based, I'd both advocate for its adoption for the NP (PA) professions and consider it myself.  
   
     I am 43 years old.  After a person turns 40 he begins to see the world for what it is, and to call it by its name.  I am not going to sit through a course of bull$#&% a third time.  I don't know much about any nursing doctorates, but I know a lot about nursing faculty and being a nursing student.  Reality and nursing education only intersect at random intervals and as tagent lines, the lines never really cross.
