   Also, does UPenn have a direct entry program? As far as I can tell all their grad programs require a BSN.

3. Seattle U - APNI 2013

   knightr4 replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   If things change to require a DNP for NPs, SU will role all NP students into a DNP program that would take an additional year. Unless the requirement officially changes SU is currently planning on sticking with a Masters degree program. Thank you so...

   knightr4 replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   I just remembered the reason I started the above rant. I think one great ways to answer some of these questions would be to talk with an SU grad working as an NP. Does anyone know a good way to get ahold of SU alumni? I just emailed the school to ...

7. Non-nursing major graduate wants DNP!

   knightr4 replied to AshleyPCA's topic in Doctoral

   My understanding is that the 2015 deadline requiring the DNP for nurse practitioners is not expected to actually go into effect. Seems like a good idea to get the DNP eventually but, if its not going to be required, the fastest route to being a NP w...

   knightr4 replied to Calinca's topic in NP Students

   I should say that I have looked at the requirements on the website and I have the pre-reqs completed. Up to this point I have been looking more at 2 yr RN programs near where I live. I would need to relocate for a BSN or for a grad program, which i...

   I am just starting to think about Seattle U's grad program. Can anyone give me a sense of what SU looks for in an applicant to these programs? What sort of experience, GPA, etc is required to get in? I have a BA in religious studies and experience...

    knightr4 replied to sweetie_pie's topic in CNA/MA

    Yes I am going on for my RN. I have my application in for a 2 year community college program that would start in the fall. If I get in I will probably try and keep the job at the hospital but only work part time so I have a foot in the door there. ...

    I am starting a new CNA job at a hospital next week and I dont have any experience as a CNA. I was in a similar boat to you. I wanted a job at the hospital but thought they wanted people with experience. I do have experience doing one-on-one in ho...
