Brandman University DNP

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Has anyone thought about applying to any of the Brandman University DNP programs? It's an adult education university with a really innovative schedule to get you out of school in 2-3 yrs.

After looking over this thread I went ahead and applied for the PM DNP program in Psych. I don't know how I'll do it with the immersion clinics since I just started a new job and would not be able to take time off from work to attend. Still, it can't hurt to try and apply, right?

Answer to question: I just received a letter dated the 29'th of Oct stating my application is complete and being sent for review. However, my application was complete by Sept 19'th according to my application?

Does anyone know how long to expect to wait and hear a decision?

LPN2RN2BSN2MSN said in an earlier post that different tracks have different dates. Perhaps the psych track has a lot of applicants to look at and then pick their candidates.

Thanks! I keep thinking about it and am not sure how I'm going to pull this off. The 225 clinical hours is going to be tough to do on the weekends and complete in 8 weeks. I need to work full time to support myself unfortunately.

I suppose I might just go with ISU as originally planned.

I am getting nervous, so I started to apply at a few other schools just in case, but I cant help but feel like I am cheating, bc I really only want to attend Brandman ;( This descision waiting period is killing me... Is their a backwards way of checking application status online?

I have been able to access my decision online through savy diddling with the programs. But the answer is ambiguous, it says: Application Decision: MADE, Decision: Contact Admissions.

So I did, and after 10 days of calling and emailing, and being spoken to like I am annoying them, even though it says "contact admissions" I think that even though I want to attend Brandman the most, I am losing interest as time goes by. The Intensive is in 6 weeks, no decision... The staff only communicate via email, even throughout departments, and the high horse they are sitting on is getting a lil to big for their britches..... I am glad I applied other places, I receieved early decision from a school in the top 8 in US New World Report. If the manner I am being treated is an indication of what is to come, I am loosing interest daily. I cannot go into 70k debt and be miserable for the next 3 years. My favorite was when I returned a call and the person simply hung up on me. My opinion is changing.

It might be interesting to find out if retention and gradation statistics are similar to what I have found- which are poor. I am disappointed all around. Still like the program a lot, but rethinking the 9 other schools I applied to. (one of which charges $294 per credit hr, same degree...) and they have already reviewed my application, given me transfer credit reports, etc....
