Duquesne Post MSN FNP Fall 2019

[Lhans333, MSN, RN]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone out there may be starting the same program or is currently an FNP student at Duquesne. I'm starting their post MSN program in Fall 2019 and there are very little current reviews about this program. If anyone in the MSN FNP or the post MSN FNP have any feedback I'd love to chat with you. Thanks!

I am looking into applying for the fall so I'd love to follow this. how was your process?

Hi @sweetsadie, I found their application process to be easier and more user friendly than most others. The advisor I worked with was great, very responsive and always returned calls/emails. The approval came 2 days after all my documents were in and my app was complete. The student mentor and academic advisors have also been awesome and so far great to work with. I honestly only have good things to say so far. At this point I’m happy I chose Duquesne.

Im seriously contemplating Duquesne's FNP certificate program. How has it been so far?

Any update on Duquesne? Did you end up doing the program there?

Hi @alliejanota, yes I did enter the program back in August 19. I will be finished 1 year from now. My MSN was from WGU and Duq did not accept the transfer of the "three Ps" from there, so I had to repeat those classes. Anyone coming from an MSN program with qualifying pharm, patho, and physical assessment should move through the Post MSN FNP cert much faster. As for the program, it's rigorous, fast-paced, and largely directed self-study. If your a dedicated student you'll be fine. There are 2 campus visits for skills and OSCEs. They were very nice and accommodating during the first campus visit with a few live lectures and rotating skills stations. Students are on their own securing clinical placement and all sites need instructor eval and approval. If your local to Pittsburgh they post opportunities for clinicals students can pursue. Hopefully, that's helpful for you.
