DNP Touro Nevada

Published

Hello all. I saw that Touro Nevada DNP program is 1 year 33 units. I really like the fact that it is accelerated. Does anybody have any experience with Touro's DNP online program?

Is anyone in the DNP at Touro during this COVID pandemic? Has anything changed? Whats the toughest thing to expect in this program?

Hi KimmbaFNP,

Thank you so much for the detailed post regarding your experience so far. This gives me a better sense of the intensity of the course work. Hope you’re well and safe!

No problem. Just to update for anyone reading this going forward...I dropped the program.

We're right now in the midst of the COVID-19 & shelter in place, & where I live we've been doing this over a month now.

Unprecedented things like this can prompt a person to reassess everything & really figure out their priorities. I realized that I do not really need a DNP to achieve my goals. The high cost financially, time-wise, plus the added stress burden isn't really worth it for me (not saying it wouldn't be for you, it well may be). So I dropped the program & no longer intend to persue a DNP.

The program is fine although a bit dry & tedious. There is some busy work that doesn't contribute to learning, specifically the discussion board, which they don't run like a true discussion board. Instead it's just a written assignment based on the book readings, requiring you cite sources in older version 6 APA style (uh, duh.. The required book readings, we're just repeating same sources again and again). The added pain is trying to find a way to make comments on your other fellow students submissions, (at least 3 different days per week) who answered the exact same questions you did.. .

Outside of that the program is fine.

Thanks for sharing KimmbaFNP! How far did you get in the program? Those DB's can be busy, especially with a lot of other assignments on top of that.

Is anyone currently enrolled in the program available to provide feedback and guidance on Touro University DNP course load. I have been accepted to start for the Summer semester, and I need information on the mentor requirement, examination and what counts towards the clinical hours. Thank you everyone. Happy Nurses week.

Hello Peaches,

Congratulations on your acceptance to the Summer cohort! I have applied as well but are trying to get all the supporting documents in no later than next week. Fingers crossed. I have found the comments on Allnurses to be very helpful.

All the best!

I started Summer 2019 and finishing in 6 weeks. This program is very fast pace. I commit 40 hours of school work a week in this 1 year program while working full time.

Hi Jenurse03_RN,

Do you have to do a "verbal" defense? If so, how will this be done? Via zoom, Skype or some type of platform?

@JENURSE03_RN Congratulations to you. I really appreciate your response. How is the clinical hour for this program? Can you get it where you work and how does the clinical mentor work. My clinical mentor is located 6 hours away but within the same state.

@TscaggsNP Whoop whoop! we'd probably be starting together. Sending you positive vibes and congratulations to you too. DO you know about the clinical rotation and how it works with this school?
