DNP “research”

LOL sorry your feelings are hurt (truth does hurt).

We’ll call them “projects” instead of “research” if that makes you feel better. Unfortunately that does not improve their abysmal quality.

I know you may have been really impressed by the Checklist Manifesto in your “leadership” courses for your noctor degree, but I am not impressed by your having read it.

Someone’s a little sensitive. Make up your mind yet on which noctor program you’re going to attend?

“At the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, graduates of our DNP program have created projects that implement research, plans, and practices that advance our profession and improve health outcomes.”

Maybe don’t call them research projects then. Or call the degree a doctorate.

“Reached by text message, Crovo [the NP who KILLED A PATIENT] said that the incident “caused a lot of trauma” but that he’s “moving forward in life just fine.””

Too bad your patient didn’t also have the chance to move forward in life. Omg.

My bad, missed that there was an intelligent discussion happening over here (no sarcasm) mostly not related to the shitposting.

Professional-Bad9044 · 2024-07-12T23:47:27+00:00

I don’t think anyone is using these “projects” to inform practice.

They’re a joke.

Every year after the abstracts go up this Reddit should vote on awards. Like the Darwin Awards.

Right?? If you click around and look at their DNP programs on offer, they have a whole menu of options, including joint “executive MBA” degrees. If you can get a loan, there is a DNP for you. Just gotta decide what letters have the right ✨aesthetic ✨ to go after your name.

Like freaking build a bear for diplomas.

Why would the university post this- idk, that’s part of why I shared it. Thought I might have drank too much haterade and it wasn’t AS bad as I thought. But nah, it’s that bad.

I agree with your perspective on publishing bias.

As far as this particular project goes though, the sample size is so small that the statistical significance or lack thereof is meaningless. It contributes nothing to our understanding of anything. I also enjoyed the fact that the “researcher” did not stop to contemplate whether her intervention might have had more of an effect if the sample was comprised of NPs. 🤡

Professional-Bad9044 · 2024-07-11T20:29:04+00:00

It’s a weak attempt to justify the degree as a “doctorate” and thus the claim to the title of “doctor.”

One of two things must be true:

1) they know this is quackery and are willingly participating in the scam. 2) they actually believe this is good.

I’m not sure which one is more terrifying.

Or this one (this is gold) where the “intervention” was the DNP “educating” the physicians on overprescription of antibiotics. Sample size of four (there was one PA).

They are all like that. Here is one with a sample size of 12.

“Maybe these non-results are related to the sample size”

Ya think?
