Specialties NP
Published Dec 11, 2008
I've been googling like a madwoman and I can't really find much on a projected demand for NPs. Does anyone have recent numbers from a reliable source?

Sounds like a program that lets you take the PNP-AC exam. There aren't many of them.

That's pretty pricey. You may want to shop around. Also, if you are going to an exclusive traditional classroom based program, make sure you add for gas, parking, lost time from work to go to class, etc.Although a bit outdated, here are some programs you might want to check out:First column is school, second is cost/credit, third is total credits for program and last is total tuition for program. Again, make sure you double check as this list is about 2 years old:University of Southern Indiana $232 42 $9,744 South Dakota State University $240 49 $11,760 Indiana State University $278 48 $13,344 Ball State University $364 48 $17,472 Graceland College $445 43 $19,135 SUNY--Stony Brook $455 45 $20,475 Indiana University-Purdue $536 42 $22,512 Frontier Nursing $395 57 22515University of Texas--Arlington $484 51 $24,684 University of Alabama--Birmingham $518 49 $25,382 Northern Kentucky University $573 47 $26,931 California State University--Dominguez Hills $561 50 $28,050.00 Felician College $675 46 $31,050 Western University of Health Sciences $580 55 $31,900 East Carolina University $644 50 $32,200 Old Dominion University $715 47 $33,605 Duquesne University $751 46 $34,546 Duke University $785 45 $35,325

Duke is currently $1053 a cr hr. I was recently accepted but had to decline
since I was not awarded a scholarship. I'm going to ECU instead.

i got in contact with ann white at usi, she stated that they are accepting applications and admitting new students for spring and fall, she does not know where the information came from that they were booked for the next five years but that it was not true. she did say that the fnp options were limited you have a choice of 3 or 4 years of study for the program. hope this helps. if a program is closed to new applicants it usually states it on the web page.

Tammy I went and looked and this is for the DNP
Full time Part time
DNP$9,500$1,056
that's great news! i left a message for ann to confirm, but it would make sense that they would post at least a small note on their website if they were full. i'm not sure, though, how extending the msn-fnp program will figure if students do not start before next year with the dnp requirement.

Isn't that amazing-- a difference of about $68,000.00 from JHU.
tammy sorry the 9500 is per semester the 1056 is per credit hour, sorry about that:banghead:
