Duke DNP Spring 2019

[Gina0345]

I have just completed my interview to attend the Post MSN-DNP program at Duke in Spring 2019. I'm looking for others that are going through the process at this time and want to share some moral and professional support. I'd love to meet those who are also waiting to hear from the admissions committee. Thank you!

hmm, I was also accepted to a school in my area that has a medical center where our clinicals will be. I'm just unsure of where to go and if anyone has had issues finding placement out here.

Hey there!

The application process is quite a process....BUT, WORTH IT!

When it comes to the recommendations, be very choosy on the people you ask to represent you. They are lengthy and very specific. These are NOT simply "click a box" recommendations. They are essay questions. So, make sure that you choose people who truly know you and your capabilities.

In the DNP program application, there were three essays to write. Each can only be one page. Before you start your essays, read the criteria carefully. Make lists of the points that you want to answer in the essay. You have to be very clear and concise to show them your worth in just three short essays.

Most of all.....DO IT! Duke is absolutely, without a doubt, the best educational experience I've ever had. The programs are SO well-planned. The theme is success and being a better practitioner. Yes, the tuition is pricey....but, you will be backed up by a degree that says you have been trained by the best.

PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out again if I can help. I am a true believer in this program and am so proud to be part of it!

Hi Gina! Thank you so much for this! I am planning on applying to Duke's DNP program in the future. Any advice on GPA/ grades and types/ amount of experience?
