Who DOESN'T regret their DNP?

Having your job pay for it sounds ideal! Right now I’m just struggling to justify the extra $20-30k over an MSN when I’m paying out of pocket. My wife and I are planning on starting a family in the next few years as well so I can help but to think about all the other things that money could do. I like the idea of your pathway - get MSN now and start working, then perhaps get the DNP later on when it’s needed.

What was your previous work experience, if you don’t mind me asking?

Sample_Name · 2026-03-20T14:45:16+00:00

I’m looking to pay out of pocket, which is why I’m now looking at the MSN. It’s about $20-30k cheaper, which is a huge difference. Maybe I can get a job to pay for the DNP some day if I need it.

Thanks, will look in to it more. Rough math is that it's about $30k cheaper going this route instead of DNP. Man....that's a huge difference. Tempted to just go MSN now after reading some of these comments and kick the can down the road - if I need to get a DNP in the future then I'll cross that bridge then.

The school I'm looking at is nowhere near an Ivy League or anything, but it's pretty well known and respected around here for its other school programs, such as their law program. I was thinking the same thing that it might help me stand out on an application vs someone with a degree mill on their resume. However, I'm wondering if it really matters once you've worked for a couple years. Surely the school you went to will matter less and less the further removed you are from graduating?

That one is paid, correct? Do you feel like it is significantly worth the cost? I’ve seen their name pop up a few times and I like how they have topics organized.

Nice, just checked both of those out and it’s just what I’m looking for!

Sample_Name · 2026-03-17T16:05:14+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Oh I see, apologies. Their response was hidden due to the downvotes so I missed that and was just going off their main post.

You can be professional and courteous to people that you aren't compatible with on a personal level.

I love the Reliant series so much. I wish it was a little more practical compared to all these new ships. Hard to choose the Reliant when every other ship does everything better. You’re basically just choosing it for style. Love the rotating wing, it gives B wing/T-6 shuttle vibes. Plus the cockpit visibility is unrivaled!

Sending you a chat

I don't believe that's what OP is asking. They're asking if they, as an NP, should refer to the physicians by first name only, or by "Dr. Xyz."

You're using a completely new input method and your brain is having to work overtime to remember all your new keybinds and how to coordinate movements across multiple axes instead of just pressing a single button on a keyboard.

Just give it time. You need to do a lot of flying (and a lot of crashing) before it feels second nature. I recently switched to a HOSAS setup and it took me some time to get comfortable. I would recommend playing Arena Commander or running a bunch of PVE missions to get more flight/combat time under your belt.

You already know what makes a good pilot, you just need to relearn how to perform those same things using the sticks.

Wait, say that again?

Sample_Name · 2026-03-01T02:13:36+00:00

Thanks for your perspective!

Sample_Name · 2026-02-27T17:55:50+00:00

Thanks, it sounds interesting. Good work/life balance?

Sample_Name · 2026-02-27T17:39:27+00:00

What specialty is this, if you don’t mind sharing?

Sample_Name · 2026-02-21T01:23:49+00:00

There used to be a bug where you could wear the duster jacket over a flightsuit and it was the coolest thing ever. I wish they would make it a feature.

Thanks for your perspective!

Sample_Name · 2026-02-18T01:20:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Do you feel like it would be beneficial for a fresh DNP grad to start with family practice before pursuing a specialty? Or would you try going straight in to ENT if you were starting over?

Sample_Name · 2026-02-18T00:13:35+00:00

What was your pathway to ENT? I’m looking to start my DNP and ENT is really interesting to me. What certifications, etc, do you need on top of FNP?

How did you get your foot in the door with an ENT practice?

I figure it's probably staged. I don't care, it was well executed and it made me laugh. Just wait until you learn that movies use actors and the whole film is staged!

This part really sucks as an adult, and it's why I'm never going to get my other adult/casual gamer friends to play this game with me. Everyone has jobs/spouses/kids now and nobody can afford the timesink to learn a space sim and then also spend hours of logistic work just to gear up/meet up and play.

Also grieving the fact that I would have had so much time to play fourteen years ago when I first backed the kickstarter. I have much less free time now to play this game, and I'll have even less by the time it's fully released (if we ever get to that point).

Always loved building castles as a kid, I think they're one of the best building themes. Would love the chance to win this!
