Has anyone completed the Duke ortho specialty certifications as a part of their FNP program at Duke?Duke offers 8 credit/200 clinical hour "specialty certifications" that can be taken as electives for NP students at Duke or non-degree classes for students of other NP programs and practicing NP's. Ortho, HIV, onc and cards are offered.I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these, specifically the ortho, to see if they were worth it to pay $15,000 out of pocket for. Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner Specialty | Duke School of NursingI found a 2yr ortho fellowship at UNC but am not sure I can commit to moving there for 2yrs. 1 probably but not sure about 2. I found this and wondered if it may be helpful as a middle ground. 0 Likes
