Duke MSN Fall 2016

Published

Hi! Wondering if anyone else applied to Duke's online MSN program? I applied for the AGNP track. Thought we could go through the gruesome wait process together :)

Specializes in Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant.

I have an approved matriculation plan and will be going to Duke this fall!

To all the students who have applied or are thinking about going to Duke, please, please do not make that mistake. As someone who attended the graduate program at Duke I can tell you that I absolutely made a horrible decision choosing it. Considering it is one of the most expensive programs out there, it was a VERY costly mistake for me. The number of students who regret going to Duke is staggering, and there are many of us who even considered some sort of class action at one point. If I knew then what I know now about Duke I could have saved myself a ton of money and time. The academics are okay, but the behind the scenes drama and red tape are a nightmare.

This is a disturbing post. What program were you in? Full time or part time?Was this recent? Did you graduate? On what grounds could you bring a lawsuit? Please give us some more details. This vague post is alarming to those of us who have already put down our deposit. What advice would you give to those who do end up going there?

Hello. I am new to allnurses. I also found out two weeks ago that I got into their FNP program. I was put on the waitlist and for awhile lost hope, but they contacted me and said I got in. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. What roaring lion said is disturbing. Anyways, I'll be starting in the Fall too.

I am starting in the FNP program part time in the Fall and am very nervous. I am in Charlotte. What part of NC are you from?

Same area too rnrachelh. Did you pay for a background check?

I did. They were able to do the drugscreen near where I live north of Charlotte. I work in Employee Health, so getting a copy of my immunization records was pretty easy. I did find out that the background check fee is a tax write off. I am hoping to make a lot of this stuff a tax write off! I am taking out serious loans and am still having to work FT for the first year or two. I am kind of stressed, but this program is a dream come true and makes the most sense for me (besides the $$$).

It's nice to know that someone in my area is also attending the same program as me. We can help each other along the way if needed.

Maybe we can be a support system for each other.

Hey! I'm looking to apply to duke's PNP-AC program for fall 2017. I saw you got into the program and that you had an interview. Do you mind answering a few questions? I just am wondering if I'm a good candidate for the program.
