Re: UCONN MbEIN Class of 2010
I went to the orientation on Monday the 21st in Storrs, and the assistant dean was not clear on whether or not the class of 2010 would make the cutoff for the Master's APRN program. The problem is that after you pass your NCLEX, which in our case won't be until January or February of 2011, you need to complete 2000 clinical hours BEFORE you can start the master's program (you couldn't start until fall 2012). The program is set to be phased out in 2014. This would only allow for 1 1/2 years of study, and the program is 2 full years full time. The DNP program is an additional 30 credits on top of the master's program. Any questions I would contact Rhea Sanford in Storrs SON. Since Rhea was not sure herself completely of the fate of the program, I am going to keep in close contact to see what happens. I will consider the DNP if necessary.
