Degrees, Titles & No Receipts: Why the Fast-Track to APRN is Hurting Nursing

Season #2

In this bold and timely episode, Tiffany Gibson unpacks the recent launch of Seattle University’s non-clinical, direct-entry DNP/APRN program—and why it’s a problem.

Tiff doesn’t hold back as she explores what this means for the integrity of nursing, the dangers of skipping essential clinical experience, and how chasing prestige without purpose is sabotaging our profession from the inside out.

This episode is a call-in and a call-out—for nurses who want to lead, grow, and evolve in a way that is deeply rooted in values, experience, and emotional intelligence.
