Top 5 reasons to get a PhD if you're a nurse

Are you considering a PhD as a nurse? Well, here are my top five reasons why I sought a PhD in nursing. Some of my reasons may be relatable to you? I hope this helps!

[adamdashawn]

A Ph.D is my ultimate goal! Just finished my MSN. Thank you for this video!

[Wudanofcrypto]

I'm currently in my year1 tho(baby nurse😆)but I've made it my life Goal to get a PHD and I will, watching this is a motivation to me I wish I would meet you some day in my life, THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION ❤️

Sir, thank you for this inspiring video. My plan is to go back to this comment 5 years from now and hopefully, I have finished my DNP and PhD by that time. I graduate from my DNP program around June next year if everything goes well with my dissertation. Currently working as ID NP.

To my future self: You made it Mr. DNP, PhD, MS, APRN, NP

[icediamond]

Dr. Martin, your background is very impressive. I am in my 5th semester of DNP school and there are times I feel like quitting. You are very inspiring, succinct, and honest in your commentary. I need to explain why they are different (obtaining a DNP and PhD, and am trying to find good information on this. Thank you.

Bravo! Thank you for this video and content- after struggling to find work abroad as an NP, I am starting a PhD program this Fall and agree with your assertion that it is a more "universally accepted" doctoral degree and will hopefully lead to lots of different options (in the States or abroad)!

Thank you for making this video. I work as a FNP and have struggled between choosing the DNP and PhD. I actually left a DNP program because it just didn’t feel right. This has been very helpful to me. I am going the PhD route. Thanks again

So glad to have found you. Just finished my msn in edu and looking at several programs. I have a plan to later add the NP. I think this opens options. 27 years in, mostly managed care, so it makes sense.

I do enjoy the video about why a person should obtain a PhD. However, a professional doctoral degree, requires the same level of research as a PhD. As a graduate of a Doctor of Health Sciences program, a lot was expected in terms of writing and research. The level of research and writing required to obtain a professional doctorate depends on the requirements of the program. My program was difficult, but I was blessed to complete it.

I enjoyed your point of view. Thank you for putting this video out there for all of us thinking of advancing our education.

Thanks Dr. William. The encouragement was great!

[DanielSanchez-tvvh]

Thank You for the advice, Dr. William. God bless y'all. ✝️❤️

I'm confused

I have three options (I have a diploma in nursing, currently doing my Bsc and will be done in a few months)

1. To go do medicine

2. To specialise

3. To get do MPhil and later do PhD



Kindly advise

I'm confused

[chowder]

Thank you so much Sir! You motivate me !

[rajnandini]

Thank you sir for the valuable information,

If u can guide on admission in phd nursing for international students it will be held highly appreciable.

[charnicemupinda]

You inspire me & for that, thank you!

[Thatguy-mojd]

You do not need a phd to teach in most cases. If that is your passion explore everything else before wasting your time getting a phd. If you want to do research that is one thing, but otherwise people the roi on this degree is not great.

Could you please make a video about the relationship and comparison of nursing and medicine? I am planning to try to enter a nursing program in university as it has been a dream of mine for a long time, but most of my family members advise me to pursue medicine instead and at first I pushed back because nursing seemed more interesting to me as a science, but now I'm wondering if they have a point. I have noticed that there is a tendency for nurses to extend their scope of practice towards things that were traditionally done by physicians and for physicians to train in holistic approaches and psychosocial care, thus becoming more like nurses. Do you think the two sciences are going to merge, eventually? And what would you advise someone who's interested in all spectrum of healthcare and has a hard time making a decision? (University is free to attend in my country, so tuition fees are not a concern.) Thank you in advance! I've been following your channel for some time and find it inspiring.

[tiburuessel]

I just got admitted to M.Phil in nursing. What should I expect? Can you help me with some materials to start preparing myself?

[Jayjay-]

Can you talk about why you got a DNP and a phd. Also what order you got them in and the though process while making each decision

[ngawangchoenyi]

Sir, so glad that I however came across your video, thank you so much.
I did my MSN in medical surgical nursing (speciality) and critical care nursing (superspeciality in 2nd year of my master) from India. I recently cleared my NCLEX RN BSN. I am so confused with the master degree I have from India. I have done research study in group during my BSN and got it published in online journal. I did individual research study during my MSN and that too got published in online journal. In 2021 I again did individual research on hypertension and got it published too. Coming here in New York, NP has become such a trend in our tibetan community and I couldn't decide whether to go for NP or PhD in nursing. Can you please share your expert opinion on this. Thank you!
