Hi all! I'm turning to the nursing community for some feedback regarding a big decision I have to make. I've been fortunate to have been accepted to a couple of great NP programs and now have to choose. One school has a Master's level direct entry PNP program, which is highly ranked. I was also offered a pretty decent scholarship to this program. The other program is an entry level DNP-FNP program that is not ranked highly, but still pretty fabulous. I'm wondering if anyone could provide feedback as to what holds more weight when it comes to getting a position as a new grad- a DNP or a prestigious master's program. I realize experience likely outweighs both of these factors and am more likely to be able to work as a RN in the DNP program. I also should note that I ultimately want to work in pediatrics. Thank you in advance for your help!!
