Just found out that I completed my BSN program this morning! I am so excited and so ready to begin my DNP program in January! Feel free to ask my anything about my program experience:)

The RN to BSN program. I had to take 55 CU's to complete my degree. I took as many classes as I could within the six month term and just one class left to complete at the beginning of the second term, which I paid for out of pocket.

And congratulations! Must be an awesome feeling!!

Does the 6 months include your community practicum????

[CLUVRN, MSN, RN]

@LilyNurseGOal- Yes it included the practicum.

I must be misunderstanding something here. You did say you just finished your BSN (congratulations by the way!) I wasn't aware you can start a DNP program without a masters degree. What type of program is this I may be interested.

Hi Passionflower,

There are BSN to dnp programs in existence. You go from a BSN to DNP degree in 3 to 4 years, bypassing the Master's degree altogether. Mine will be through Bradley University.

Yes, I'm going to attempt to work and attend the program. I work full-time nights (3 to 4 12-hour shifts a week), so I will try do both unless school becomes too rigorous. Yes, the program is fulltime, and no, Bradley does not require the GRE. Yes, you should look into WGU. It's a fabulous program:)
