A Ph.D is my ultimate goal! Just finished my MSN. Thank you for this video!
Adam, let me know what questions you may have regarding doctoral education. I would be pleased to provide a video answering specific questions. And congrats on the MSN!
Hi, will you mind sharing your speciality in master? Thanks.

Sir PhD in nursing is my ultimate goal.just masters in msn.iam from India
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 ❤️
I enjoyed your point of view. Thank you for putting this video out there for all of us thinking of advancing our education.
Thank You for the advice, Dr. William. God bless y'all. ✝️❤️
Thanks Dr. William. The encouragement was great!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Thank you Dr. Martin for this video.
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.
Christine, thanks for commenting. Letters after name = Options!...Maybe
You inspire me & for that, thank you!
Charnice, I am gratified by your thanks.
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)!
Best of luck!
Thank you, doc.
Thank you so much Sir! You motivate me !
Thank you for the kind words, and I hope to continue to do so!
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
Best wishes to you, I hope you enjoy the ride!
Thanks for your great explanation ❤
You are welcome!
Very good job thank you sir
Interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you,sir
Thank you 😊
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
I hope to be one of the first to address you as "Doctor"! Best wishes!
Came back to this video because I just Graduated from my DNP program!! Thank you good sir for the inspiration 🙏🏼
@@ricardoasuncion3462Congratulations
Great video🎉🎉
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.
Thanks so much for the break down.
I currently work as a full time NP Monday to friday. Would I be able to continue this full time while working as a professor/research?
Im trying to maintain myself at the bedside but wondering if the PhD duties overlap/contraindicate being able to work monday-friday as an NP.
It can be done, if there is some flexibility to your schedule. I would hesitate the online-only option, which I'll be talking about in an upcoming video.
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.
Anastasia, that is an outstanding video idea! I have precepted PA students and of course NP students, and I have had many detailed conversations with each about their motivations to pursue a PA career or an NP career versus medicine. I have many insights to share on that topic, and I'll get working on it in three days (my next day off!).
@@DrWilliamMartinPhD Thank you a lot, I'm looking forward to it!
Hello I am currently PhD student. I want help me about work out of hospital.
Hello sir
I am a registered nurse from india. I'm currently pursuing the master's in india.....how do i apply for a phd program...and what will be the requirements for it.
Hello sir good morning
I am working as a registered nurse in Abu dhabi uae
I have done msc nursing in msn and i watched your video after that i think i want to do phd in nursing so if you have any suggestions for me plz tell me
One thing i am learning swedish language if possible then i want to do phd in sweden .
Thanku so much
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!
It sounds like you're a dedicated researcher, so PhD education gives you the tools to guide research. The NP is a clinical certification to practice. If you go the practice route, there is very little time to conduct simultaneous research...take my word for it!
Thank you for the response sir.
I earned my DNP in December 22 now I’m looking at PhD programs and I have concerns about my writing skills
Your writing will continue to improve, trust me. If you haven't already, learn about active vs passive writing. You can do it!
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
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
Absolutely Jay Jay, will do!
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.
If not a PhD, then a DNP. I am an NP with almost 15 years of experience. But many schools are now requiring a doctorate, and I only have an MSN. I love research and being a leader, but I make well into 6 figures- this year as a self-employed person, probably 2-3x what the PhDs at my local university make- and it's just not worth it financially.
thank u ,sir.i was always driven,although i am not that young. i am a nursing teacher in China. I have published my paper,and also some paper manuscript. the problem is i don't have a competitive GPA because of giving birth to baby that time. i would appreciate if you would like to recommend a university with scholarship.my interest goes to aging now. thankyou.
Thank you for commenting! Regarding your question, scholarships are out there, but in many cases you have to search extensively for them. On an unrelated note, it is fascinating to me that a video made in New York is seen in China! I know that shouldn't be too surprising, but it illustrates the reach we now have to communicate with one another!
what kind of research are PhD nurses doing?
Pretty much everything. I think most are involved in qualitative and descriptive research. However some, myself included, are interested in more traditional science. I'm involved in ongoing research involving hyperbaric medicine, wound care, and undersea medicine.
@@DrWilliamMartinPhD that’s awesome! So it’s possible to specialize in dermatology then? I was diagnosed with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and am studying nursing so I grew a huge interest in that
