Hi there,

I  creating this thread to connect with other applicants applying to Columbia's BS-DNP FNP program that starts in June. I submitted my application February 10 and I am waiting to hear back! Very excited =).

Hi  everyone! 
 

Congrats to everyone that got in! I got into the acute care DNP program! I’m super excited but would love some advise on the program and on NYC. I’m moving from chicago so any help on how to find an apartment, roommates where to live would be  soooo helpful. Also does anyone plan on working or getting a per diem job while I’m school? Does NYC have an app hospitals use to get travel per diem?

Congratulations! I would go on indeed.com and check out perdiem jobs near the hospital.

Congrats to everyone who got in! So excited for June, but finances are indeed daunting. Do y'all know if Columbia provides need-based scholarships based on FAFSA? Or do graduate schools only provide loan packages?

Hi, yes that was me! Columbia turned out to be similarly priced to Hopkins, and Columbia's in-person education is the best fit for my professional goals (the networking capacity is unparalleled imo)! I think I'll be ready to commit if I receive an RN job offer in the area to help me with the cost ?  Hope you hear some good news from Columbia soon!

Yeah me too! I'm definitely not looking to move for school LOL traveling to New York from Jersey would have been enough for me. But good luck hope you find something soon that aligns with your schedule!

Hi everyone! Congrats again on everyone who got in! I got accepted to the FNP-DNP program. I was just wondering if anyone knew if all the Summer semester classes are going to be in person or online because last year it was ?

Hi, I also got accepted to the FNP-DNP program. I emailed the program director and she told me it's a majority in-person program with few virtual courses. So I would say just prepared for in-person for the first term.

Is there a group page for this Summer’s DNP/FNP cohort ?

Does anyone know what our Summer schedule will look like? Specifically, what days we'll be having classes. I have to coordinate with my work schedule.
