Duke University - MSN Spring 2025

Published

Hello, 

Does anyone have any insights on the application/admission process for Duke's Spring 2025 MSN programs?

Yes. Me too!

Also, are you referring to or seeing a specific number for out of state? All I see is the "2024-2025 Academic Year: $2,166 Per Credit Hour". I am unsure how many credits we would be required to take the first term or if this rate is the same for all. 

Does anyone have any info on this? 

I don't remember where I saw it, and it may not be accurate, but I saw anywhere from 13-15k a semester!

If yall don't mind me asking what was your GPA, years of experience and speciality currently. 
I was not accepted but felt that my interview went great! I have 5.5 years total of nursing as LPN and the past 2 were medsurg. I've been a Med surg RN since May. I don't know if I just didn't have enough time as an RN or if they are looking for something else. I applied to the FNP.

Personally, I would say it was probably due to lack of experience in the RN role! Once you have 1 year I would apply again!

Hey! I honestly don't think GPA plays the biggest part, I think it's based on your experience including WHERE that experience is. I graduated with my BSN in May and got into the FNP program but I worked in highly ranked hospitals and was an EMT in high school. If you want to apply again next year I'm sure having some high quality experience could get you an acceptance! But to answer your question, my GPA was 3.74 and I'm a in a new grad on a cardiac floor.

I got accepted into the WHNP program!! Congrats everyone!! Is anyone else worried about out of state tuition 😵‍💫 it's making my decision so hard!

I'm also SUPER worried. I called financial aid today though and they said financial aid packets should be out in 1-2 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Do you have any tips on how your interview went? I am prepping for mine next week for AGACNP MSN program. I know from previous threads that there are 5 questions and they are situational questions. Is there any questions about experience or anything out of ordinary I should prepare for

Aw man! I had medic experience in the military then went LPN to RN. However my hospital was a smaller one in a rural area, and my RN program was a community college, my bachelors was in another area. I bet the where is import, thank you for the insight& congrats!!

I don't really have any tips tbh, I read what other people said in past years forums and they were pretty accurate. A few situational questions but nothing that jumped out. I also interviewed for FNP which could be different. But good luck!

Specializes in Pediatric Acute Care.

I was also accepted on Friday! PNP-AC 🙂 

Does anyone know more about what the course schedule looks like? I'm planning to continue working full time throughout and just a bit nervous about the structure of the program.

Did my interview yesterday! I believe they're interviewing the entire week this week based on the sign up. 
 

I was told by my interviewer it could be a few weeks to find out anything. Any one else interviewing this week? 
 

Here is my timeline thus far for anyone curious 

June 15 - submitted entire application with references 

July 3- contacted by phone by admissions to say they needed clarification on my transcripts (fixed same day)

July 5- status changed to under faculty review 

July 29- extended interview invitation 

August 6- interviewed 

Now we wait!

Hey all. I applied for the online MSN FNP for Spring 2025 program. I was accepted and I'm so excited. I see 15k per semester and in the interview she told me 2.5 years so that's 74k. Can anyone confirm?
