I'm happy to say I was recently accepted into Duquesne University's second degree BSN program beginning in August 2016. But I have been doing my research on reviews of this program and throughout this forum, and it seems that there are quite a few people with negative comments. I heard that the program has been changed and improved in the last year.
So I am curious - recent graduates of this program, honestly, what was your experience like? Would you recommend it? And if not, what didn't you like about it?
How long did it take after applying to get a response from Duquesne? I submitted my application/transcripts the week before April 1st and received confirmation that my application was complete on the 4th and have not heard anything yet.
I think I received my letter about a month after my application was complete. I waited a while after applying to send in my transcripts though because I am still completing my pre reqs. Hopefully you will hear soon!

Thanks for your reply! Did you receive an acceptance e-mail along with your letter or just the latter? Either way, congratulations!
I am looking into living in Brottier for the year! But I do know that the lease ends at the end of July. What do you plan on doing for the last few weeks of the program?
The last day of my lease right now is July 31 at noon and the last day of the program/graduation is July 29 so I do have time to move out. I think the school looks at that so you should be fine!
Do you have any idea how the studio apartments in Brottier are set up? I understand that they are for two people, so I am curious about the set up of them.. thanks!
Hey guys!! So I just realized schedules are posted. What does everyone think about the schedules and is anyone planning on working during the program? At least part time or casual?
Hey! Are you in the Facebook group? I think we are discouraged from working at all. I know I've read a thread somewhere about how some students were working part time while doing this program, though. I personally will not be working.
Hi everyone! Congratulations on being accepted! I will be graduating this program at the end of July. I am selling my scrubs if anyone needs them or needs an extra pair! I have an xS top, xSP pants, xS Polo, xS lab jacket (it is missing a button though), a brand new (tags still on it) Small Lab jacket. I am 5'3 and xs/small fits well. I am selling the top, pants, polo, and xs lab jacket for $30 and the brand new small lab coat for $20. Let me know if anyone is interested!
