| 2009-06-15 | Naushad | DNP questions | 4 | 5 | 9 | No | I appreciate the response. However, I have asked NP schools and am sure that it takes two years to get the NP degree after getting a BSN. Nurses who hold a NP degree have also said this. Secondly, one can not get a doctorate in just two years after bachelors. I call and asked Emory university and a lady told me that it takes two to six years for the doctorate after the masters degree (depending on the specialty). I have also given a link which confirms what I said about NP degrees by the year 2015. Thank you for your help. http://www.aanp.org/NR/rdonlyres/7EA81867-2E06-4CE6-AFD3-C71EAF479B32/0/DoctorofNursingPractice_DNP_DiscussionPaper.pdf |

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding all aspects of Nursing as a career in general. If you need help deciding if nursing is a career for you, then let me help you with your decision. As an added bonus, I can answer your questions from the perspective of being a man in nursing who has a wife that is also a nurse. Men is nursing is more accepted today than it was when I began in 1993. Regardless of your gender, Nursing has so much to offer and is among the most respected professions of our time. I have been a registered nurse since 1993 and have been certified in Critical Care nursing since 1996. I am currently a full-time Critical Care Ground Transport Nurse/Mobile Intensive Care Nurse(MICN).
Experience
My experience over the years since 1993 have been spent between the Emergency Room and the Critical Care Units. More recently since 2007 I have been working in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as a Critical Care Transport Nurse/Mobile Intensive Care Nurse(MICN)/Emergency Medical Technician(EMT). This unit is known as the Specialty Care Transport Unit(SCTU). I transport all age populations with critical medical problems from Hospital A to Hospital B in the back of an ambulance. My job is to make sure this patient remains in the same or better condition and to handle any emergency that may arise during the over the road transport. BLS/ACLS/PALS/NRP/ITLS Certified Provider.
