FIU FNP Fall 2017

[Maryberry67]

Hello! So I had decided to create a blog for those interested in the FIU's program for the upcoming fall. It's a bit early since applications are accepted in December. I signed up for nursingcas and tried looking for their program but for some reason it is not listed yet. Not sure if it's because it's too soon but I see other schools listed and it also starts the same time. I graduated last December and currently working full time and I just have an urge to go back to school now. Hope to hear from you guys soon! :)

JK I literally just got the call that I got accepted I'm so excited!!!!

Also got the call.... did anyone else got offered either program the solo MSN or the combined MSN-DNP? Anyone else thinking of switching......

[Maryberry67]

So you got a call that you got accepted or that they offered you to switch to the combined route ?

[PedsRN1008]

Both, they said I've been accepted into either program

[Maryberry67]

I see so which one did you say you wanted to go into?

[PedsRN1008]

I had originally applied to the solo MSN but I actually decided to switch to the MSN-DNP

[Maryberry67]

So does that mean you have to take your GRE then? Or have you taken it already.

[PedsRN1008]

I have to take it by the end of June

[mellzbellz12]

Same here! Switched over to DNP. GRE has to be taken at the end of June

[NurseNinja1990]

Is there really any advantage to doing the DNP? Sure, you'd make a little more money, but I really have no interest in doing research plus another year of school isn't appealing to me.

It's really about the fact that you're on the same level as a physician, PT, pharmacist because they all have their doctorates. So eventually they're gonna implement the Doctorate role in 2025 if it all pans out.

I got accepted via phone when they called me. I switched from solo msn to combined msn-dnp. Nancy sent me an email that states acceptance letter/package will be sent out towards the end of the month.
