No such deadline, only a recommendation. Good luck.

*** As already mentioned there is no 2015 deadline for DNP. It is only a recomendation. There are still and will contue to be many MSN NP programs after 2015. What the recomendation by the AACN has done is cause many universites to drop their MNS NP in favor of DNP NP. Of course one can see why they would want to do so. Same education, get to charge far more for it. Some schools are actually aginst the DNP and have no intention of ever offering DNP.
