How is fairfield's pogram? I'm not from the area. Does it really only cost ~85k for the DNP?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

I think it's a great program and yes as far as I know it's about 80k. The expensive part is the living expenses. I've been planning for that part for a few years. Have you interviewed for any other programs? This is my first interview - kind of nerve racking.

Ya, ive ready put a deposit in for another profram but its a MSN and 10k more than fairfield so of i get accepted here, I'd rather do DNP for cheaper.

Congrats on already being accepted somewhere. At least you know you're starting either way. That should bring down your stress level in the interview.

Oh ya definitely. I wouldn't stress interviews, so far, I interviewed at two schools and was accepted to both, you'll be okay. But searching threads here, it seems that fairfield is a bit more competitive; ~60 interviewees for 15 spots.

what are your stats?

Started nursing as an ADN - GPA 3.55/cum laude certainly not the best out there but very difficult program. RN to BSN was higher 3.87. Science GPA 3.7. Total of 3 years in a mixed unit that sees cardiac medical surgical neuro and trauma so I feel I'm versatile. Also have my CCRN. TNCC too, You?

You've gotten into two programs already, you think my Stats are good?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Yeah, you sound good. The only thing that I can think of is either community service, leadership role or serving on unit committee. During my first interview, I asked them what makes a successful candidate, they pointed out my GPA, leadership and the fact that I was on my unit council.

PS: I also had many leadership roles during Nursing school.
