There is already two programs at my local schools that have post Bach DNP programs. They are three to four years long depending on the specialty. I haven't seen one that includes CRNA as a specialty yet. However there is another school in my area where you get your CRNA first then go to DNP program.
I don't know. All of this makes me want to go into pharmacy school. You don't have to have a bachelors to go to the pharmacy school in my area (you must complete certain prereqs and a bachelors doesn't make you a better candidate) and it is a four year PharmD program. I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure what I am going to do now.
Would you like to comment?
