Montana State University DNP Application Fall 2016

U.S.A. Montana

Published

Hi All,

I'm curious if anyone has applied to the MSN/Post MSN DNP for Montana State University for Fall 2016. I applied to Duke University's DNP/FNP as well and the interview went very well, however, MSU is my first choice (both financially and I live in Montana now). I have at least 5 years of critical care/ER/trauma RN experience and a bunch of previous Army medical first responder experience. I also hold a MSN in Leadership and Management, but I have a lower GPA (3.3). Just wanted to start a conversation for those of us applying! I know it's a newer online program with not a lot of traction in online boards, but I'm super anxious about this application. Any updates would be appreciated!

I got in and I accepted!!! Super excited! Good luck to everyone who's starting this Fall!

Hi mursemorlock! I was wondering if you decided to move fwd with Univ of Colorado's MPH/DNP program? I am also interested in it. It is really the only program online that I have found which awards the dual degree via online coursework. I am on the east coast so I don't qualify for the WICHE discount, but if I were to move, it would be a very affordable program. I would like to hear more about the program if you are a student now, as I may apply in the future as well. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you!

I have applied twice now for this program and have been denied both. I live in Colorado and have for almost 20 years and have been repeatedly denied from the University Health system whether it's for school or employment. I'm not really sure why it is so difficult for me to get in over there, but I guess if it's not meant to be it's just not meant to be. I got into 3 other grad programs, so I don't think it has much to do with my grades or experience, but from what I understand, UCH admits a high number of out-of-state students to the nursing college and the pool left from within the state is expected to have a very high GPA to be considered at all. I also think that their online applications are difficult to navigate so there is a chance that something gets input wrong or is overlooked. Good luck if you try to get in there.

I was just accepted to MSU-Bozeman online BSN-DNP 3 year program. I am very nervous. I have cardiac/tele/IMC and urgent care/ambulatory care experience. Was anyone able to continue working at all? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
