Demand for NPs? Sources?

Published

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?

Specializes in CTICU.

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Although a bit outdated, here are some programs you might want to check out: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:

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.

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.
