Duke MSN Spring 2019

[VitaminDeeee]

Anyone else applying to Duke MSN program for Spring 2019? Application deadline is Monday and it's all I can think about! I'm applying to the PNP program. Would love to connect with some other potential cohort members!

I have applied to the BSN-DNP program for the FNP track!

[VitaminDeeee]

Great! I wonder if the MSN and BSN-DNP programs share coursework for the first part. Do you have to take the GRE? I'm still hoping to see the update on the portal saying requirement completed!

[Capt_RN_USAF]

I didn't have to report GRE scores according to admissions. My application does say incomplete but I received an email last week saying mine is in line to be reviewed for completion. I believe we would be doing core courses together if you are doing the FNP route and I think orientation would be on the same date as well!

I didn't report GRE scores either, I shouldn't have to based on GPA but I'll feel better about that when I see it on the portal :). Nora (admissions counselor) told me they would make interview decisions starting in late June. It's a long time to wait! Did you apply anywhere else?

[Capt_RN_USAF]

She told me the same about interviews decision. June is long time to wait!!!!! I haven't applied to another school yet but I'm thinking about a couple for Fall next year if I don't get into Duke. How about you?

I checked my SISS and today it shows application complete! Has yours changed over yet?

I also applied to the spring 2019 MSN cohort. My application was marked complete last week after being incomplete bc I was not required to submit my GRE score. Does anyone know how long the program is supposed to take? I was told 2.5 years.

[Capt_RN_USAF]

Which program are you applying for? I logged into the webinar for the BDN-DNP program a few months ago and they said the degree plans have changed since Jan of this year but they have not been uploaded to the website yet.

[VitaminDeeee]

My application still says incomplete and that I need to submit GRE scores. I was hoping that requirement was going to fall off. I need to email them and see what they say.

I think I read the program (MSN) takes three years to complete now that they moved it to part time only? It's hard to find information about that.

I haven't applied to any other programs at this point. My bachelor's degree is in a field other than nursing, and only three other programs will accept a BA instead of a BSN. I'm really hoping to not have to go back and do a lot of extra coursework.

The GRE requirement fell off my SISS page and it says application complete!! Woohoo! Hopefully we'll start hearing about interviews soon......

I applied as well--BSN to MSN. My GRE requirement disappeared within the last couple days. That is a relief. I just barely made the deadline and applied only after finding out I was waitlisted at UNC. Still checking my UNC status almost every day though. ;-)
