MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Jan 18, 2018 An update for anyone who cares: I had an admission interview today at a local brick-and-mortar University with a DNP FNP program. At the end of the interview, they asked me to step out for a few moments. After about 5 minutes, they called me back in to tell me I had a slot in the program!
MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Jan 19, 2018 Thank you! I start in May. It's a 3 year, year 'round program. I am excited but nervous!
mj_nurse99 8 Posts Has 1 years experience. Mar 7, 2018 Congrats on your acceptance!!! I am late to this thread, but have a similar plight. (You can probably find a dozen of my posts begging people for their input....). I am also in WI so I am especially curious what worked best for you. I would be ever so grateful if you don't mind sharing? Best wishes on your next chapter!!
MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Mar 7, 2018 Honestly, I just kept applying. As I mentioned in the earlier posts, I was really looking for a Masters level program, so I had delayed applying for this DNP-FNP program. But as my options were whittled down, I elected to apply. The good news is that it's only 3 years (year 'round), I'll have a terminal degree when I am done, the program arranges clinical sites, and it's only 25 minutes away.Good luck, and if I can help further, please PM me.
MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Apr 19, 2021 Not sure anyone cares, but I was accepted to a brick-and-mortar nursing school with a DNP program. I am graduating in a month with a 3.95 GPA. If I can do it, you can do it.

MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Apr 19, 2021 Thanks! I would love to go back to Alaska, but my wonderful wife has deep roots here in the midwest. I plan to look into Summer locum temens work once I get some experience under my belt.
MathewB 32 Posts Has 25 years experience. Nov 14, 2021 A little thread necromancy here! Just to round out this discussion, I graduated in May, with a 3.9 GPA. Passed the AANP boards on the first crack, and have had a few interviews so far. Looks as though I am well on my way. Thanks to everybody who provided input and insight. It definitely was a factor in continuing to pursue my DNP-FNP. Good luck to you all, in all your endeavors!
