Has anyone applied to or has already been granted admission to Loyola BSN-DNP starting this summer/fall?If you are waiting on acceptance how long have you been waiting? If you are already accepted how was the admission process? Getting nervous over here and just wanted to find some peers in the boat.
That would be awesome! May is really right around the corner. My email address is: [email protected]
Thank you!!
Can anyone who has already started the program tell me a little bit about the classes/curriculum? I'm a little nervous that the program is full time only- makes things hard for someone like me who carries the insurance for the family. It's making me anxious!! I'm also curious about funding.... Have those of you who have been admitted been able to take advantage of grants and all that?
Some people do have scholarships but I don't know about grants. I'm taking loans for the whole thing. We have many people that work full time and do this program. It is very difficult but they are grinning and bearing it. You have to decide how much you want it if you are in that position. I only work prn. The program recommends not working at all. Like every other program some classes are easy like Family Theory, some are hard like Pathophysiology or Pharmacotherapeutics, and some just time consuming like Theory or research.
I haven't started, but I'm assuming you can spread it out as long as its completed in 5 years, but I may be wrong. Probably the classes will have to be taken as listed, but the practicums will be when you can schedule them yourselves.
I plan on working FT, I work night shift on a Pediatric Neuro ICU. But we will see how it goes, but I guarantee I will keep working FT in some way another, whether switching back to my normal floor with is a Pediatric Neuro unit (not ICU) but step-down, switching to days, or moving to weekends or something.
But... Time will tell.
I have applied for a bunch of scholarships ... Can't find grants, so some suggestions would be great. Soooo, I guess loans are what it will be.
