Looking for some info on the CSU-DU MSN-FNP program. The website provides a great deal of data but is a bit lacking in useful information however. A quick search here on AN did not turn up much, so I thought I'd post the questions directly.
The most basic is: Does the program accept out of state students? It is on-line but many of the requirements appear to limit it to not just California residents but also to only those located in SoCal. For example, there are 2 specific classes (Adv Roles in Nursing and Adv Pathophys) that you are required to take first and these classes have an in-person orientation. If that's really the case, its obviously a significant barrier for those who are not local.
It also looks like the school determines the appropriate clinical sites and maintains a list of affiliated and directs the student there. This is also something that would be a barrier to non-locals.
I have a much longer list of specific questions but wanted to see if I could get answers to these basic questions before contacting the school directly.
