Disappearing direct entry msn?

[legal->nurse2b]

Maybe I am just missing it on their websites, but I can't find VCU's direct entry program anymore... I've noticed that some schools are paring things down for these programs (ie not offering as many specialties) or not 'renewing' them at all. Either that or I am really failing on my internet research...

[NICUmiiki, DNP, NP]

(I was attempting to quote the "how are these programs different" post above, but my laptop hates me today)

These are not NP programs - they complete the program with the ability to take NCLEX. They are a generic, entry-to-practice program which happens to award a MSN as the degree.

It has been largely replaced with the accelerated BSN for those having a bachelor's in another discipline.

Thanks for explaining.
