    I'm interested in getting a Ph.D. solely for personal purposes. I'm currently finishing up a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Thanks to Degree Info and Degree forum - I have a master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, MBA, and an MSN. Liberty's Ph.D. program looks tempting. I just learned there are DNP to Ph.D. program.

    I wanted to know my background's best and most affordable options for getting a Ph.D.
    Oh Yeah. I don't want to teach. I'm self-employed and have no thoughts of ever working for the "man" again. I'm only interested in CONUS schools. That has a "decent" reputation.
    Excuse my grammar. I went to public school in Louisiana.

    I did my MS at Duquesne. I had a great experience.

    Liberty's Ph.D. is focused on nursing education. It appears affordable and if they accept your DNP credits, you are halfway there! I looked at the Ph.D. at Liberty but I have old RA nursing doctoral credits that are beyond the time limits for transfer. I love teaching but the money isn't there. I've done adjunct on occasion and it was fun. As an FNP, I've applied for post-master certificates to add another specialty. Is your DNP program an NP focus? I would definitely talk with some Ph.D. nurses and get their take on the journey. It's a lot of work for a feather in your cap. Especially, if you don't plan on using it!

    I used to pronounce "Do Kez Knee", then when I tried look at its new Yellow Ribbon program. I was told it is pronounced "Do cane." :D

    We can't even begin to recommend the numerous DL, Hybrid, and on-campus nursing degree programs offered in this country and abroad. Finding a school would be like attempting to shoot the broad side of a Barn from 10 feet....not too difficult!

    I have taken a long and circuitous route within nursing. May I ask where you’re earning your DNP and in what concentration?
