Anyone accepted to MUSC DNP Program for Fall 2011? - Page 2

Hi OBluv19, glad you decided on MUSC, I think we both have made a great decision to attend MUSC this fall. As far as exchanging information, I don't think I have enough posts to private message you so if you send me a private message I will send you my information.

Just wondering if any alternates hagve been contacted yet?

I just got word yesterday that I have been accepted for this Fall!!! I'm soooooo excited. I was orginally selected as an alternate. Best of luck to you; hopefully you will also be notified soon.

HI there! I will be attending MUSC this fall as well. I would love to get in touch with other fellow nurses attending as well. My personal email is verushcka@comcast.net. Congrats again to everyone who got in!

Hello OBluv19! I just found out yesterday that I've been accepted. I'm feeling very blessed and excited. I am also pursuing the FNP speciality. Please feel free to email me at verushcka@comcast.net.

Question for you all - I posted a question about a BSN to DNP program a couple days ago and am wondering if you all have your master's already or are in a BSN to DNP program. Any reason for one or the other? I know there is talk of requiring the DNP in the future, but I plan to have graduated before that is estimated to happen. I'm getting close to 50 and although I am a life long learner, not sure I want to be a life long student

For me peronsally, I wanted to go ahead and get my "terminal" degree in nursing...personal goal. I am attending MUSC in the fall for the BSN to DNP program. We are awarded the MSN as well as DNP. I chose the family NP speciality. I know there is talk of all NP's by 2015 being required to have their DNP. Makes sense to just go ahead and get it done...but again, my personal choice. You are only 50...nowadays retiring at 56 is unheard of...you probably have another 20 years at least to work! lol Good luck with whichever route you go. nurse:

Yay!! I found out yesterday that I got in too! Also for the family NP DNP specialty. Where does everyone live?
I'm so excited!!!!

I was doing the math a couple months ago when thinking about going back to school and realized that I do indeed have another 20 years in me I am glad to find the BSN to DPN program - will have to check into it more thoroughly.

Is there anything practice wise that a DNP prepared FNP can do that at MSN prepared one can't (at least today?)
