Baylor 2020 DNP Program

[kiddo_nurse, BSN]

Hi All!

I recently got into the online BSN to DNP program at Baylor to start this August 2020. I'm hoping to find others also doing the program during this time. I am so so scared but excited at the same time.

If anyone is currently in the program: were you able to keep working bedside during? Is the workload manageable? How did clinicals go? I'll be doing the pediatric DNP. Also a little nervous about how the job hunt will go upon graduation... any insight at all would be helpful.

Thanks so much!

Hi! I had a brief interview over the phone and they decided if I was a candidate or not. Then I had to write essays, get LORs, etc. I had another interview over the phone that was much longer I believe about an hr. Then I got in!

They told me $1100 per credit hour. So it depends exactly which one you’re doing as they all have different credit hours I believe!

I was accepted to the DNP-FNP program as well to start in August! Did you apply for financial aid? If so, have you gotten any award info? I’m sure I just need to wait closer to the start date, but it’s nerve wracking haha

[Tytylope1]

Yes, I applied for financial aid. Just waiting to hear from them. I called recently to make sure everything is in place only to find out one document is needed. My fingers are still crossed ?

[kiddo_nurse, BSN]

I got my financial aid information finally! Did you all? Should we start a FB page at some point to better communicate?

[Tytylope1]

That would be awesome! I also got my financial aid details.
