BSN to DNP

Published

Since I have not had a response on the student NP section....I am a BSN and am looking into several different BSN to DNP programs. Has anyone gone through one of these and how did it go for you? I was supposed to begin a MSN program in a couple weeks but if I can put in 3 years and finish with a DNP instead why not?

I was wondering how difficult it is to tackle full time dnp school with 32 hours per week work? No kids. I have heard that grad school is actually not as demanding as undergrad was. I was wondering if this is true. Thank you

I just started Loyola University New Orleans' MSN to DNP program. I am an ANP. It is so not easier than undergraduate. Itis reading. Class discussion on Blackboard and papers so far. The summer classes are likely worse because its all condensed from 15 to 8 weeks, but I don't see it getting easier. Fortunately, I can do my clinical at work, which helps...

Don't get me wrong...I love it, but its not easy.

What university was that please. Where did you do your bsn- dnp at? I'm looking for a bsn-dnp program in Orlando. But other university suggestions are helpful.

I was wondering if you need a particular number of hours before enrolling into the programs, My GPA wasn't the greatest, however, I have passed all my classes and RN exam.

I was also wondering about the GRE Test:

"A score of 500 or higher on each of the verbal and quantitative sections in the prior version of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test. In the new version of the GRE a minimum score of 153 in the verbal section and 144 in the quantitative section"

any of you have any input as to this test?

I would like to apply to the fall 2015 at the University of Florida

Thanks

Hi Mom to 4

I am interested in your progress with your DNP. I am also a mom to 4 and am working on applying to BSN-DNP in University of Minnesota as an online student (live in Toronto). It is 4 years as a part time student. Like you I was going to start a MSN program but cancelled it as I am more interested in the DNP.

Are you willing to share your experience?

Due to an unforeseen set back I will now graduate May 2016. I had to create a whole new capstone project. So it is taking me 4 years and out of the 40 people that began cohort 1 of this program only 6 or 7 are actually graduating this May. A large portion of us are graduating next May for various reasons. While the set back hurts nothing will keep me from graduating with 4 kids all looking to me as an example.

good for you. And at the end of the day it kind of doesn't matter if you did your DNP in 3 or 4 years just the health of your family . good luck
