Duke FNP Fall 2015

Published

Hey all,

Just wanted to know who is considering going to Duke for their FNP next fall. I know it's still early to apply, but the deadline is just around the corner.

I am interested in their program. Any idea what their tuition rates are?

It's a private college, so I'm estimating 40,000 for a masters

I am considering it as well, probably applying for their Fall 2015 Class.

Im in the process of looking at a lot of different schools. So far I got Georgetown, KU, southern Alabama, duke, and Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt by far is the most expensive. Its the one I want to go to the most, but ive almost eliminated because of cost.... any thoughts? anyone of those you would steer clear of all together? im still early in the process....

Make sure some of the schools your looking at online is licensed in your state. There have been issues here in NC regarding online/distance based education not being recognized by the UNC board of governors. As a result, I'm limited to which schools I can apply to and become a NP.

I cant imagine any of those schools not being ok in every state. There all pretty well known, big names.

I think FNU is the only online FNP program that is accepted in NC and not based in NC. Although I applaud FNU on the hard work it took them to get approved, I do think it is a disservice to future FNPs in NC to limit their options so significantly.

I don't understand... are you saying if you get your NP degree from Vanderbilt or KU, you cant apply for license, or apply in NC?

It's a wonderful service to the patients of NC, however, as they won't run into as many for profits grads unprepared to treat them. I applaud any state that takes steps to limit the ability for any idiot nurse to become an NP. It seems in NC, you must actually work hard and get into a real school. Good. The boards don't enforce standards so I'm glad at least some states do.
