  1. Compare and contrast the types of entry programs in nursing: diploma, ADN, BSN, and accelerated or direct-entry programs.
  2. Select one of the following graduate nursing programs (master’s-any type; doctoral; and DNP) and find, through the internet, two different universities that offer the program. Compare and contrast admission requirements and the curricula.
  3. Consider the learning styles describe in this chapter. Where do you fit in? Why do you think the style (s) apply to you? What impact do you think the style (s) you identified will have on your own learning in the nursing program?

Critical Thinking Activity (all groups will elaborate on the activity & debate)

Conduct a debate in a small group. Take the side supporting the PhD in nursing, with another classmate supporting the DNP. The class should then vote on the side that presents the best support for one of the perspectives. You will need to research your issue and present a substantiated rationale for your side of the issue.
