Does anyone here have experience applying to the MN or DNP program at Duke?
I am in my first year of the BSN program at University of Washington and will be moving with my partner to North Carolina after graduation next year. I will be applying to Duke's MSN or DNP program for the FNP track. (I am leaning toward the DNP, given the "big switch" in 2015)
So I have a few questions:
1. Does any body have any stats on applicants/students to the DNP program?
2. Do you need to take the GRE to apply for the school of nursing financial aid?
3. I will not have any RN experience and I know they say it is recommended but not required. Does any one have a feel for if they do take BSN grads without any RN experience?
I think that is mostly it. I guess also, for anyone at all who with the Duke School of Nursing, do you like the program?
The questions seem pretty variable and depend on who is doing your interview. The questions I was asked were strongly related to things I talked about in my personal statement. I also know some people who got asked the pretty standard interview questions.
I am in the FNP program now and I can tell you that the faculty and staff here are incredibly encouraging and friendly while also being very smart and professional. I am sure whoever does your interview will be as well.
Thanks Community Health RN, My interview will be with Dr S**. Did you do yours in person or over the phone? He sent me an email and said we could do it in person or over the phone. i havent set up the date or time yet, he just said over the next 2 weeks we would schedule something....thanks for your input.

roughly 1500 per credit hour As far as money, they are offering grant money for Informatics, there is an RN assistance program for nurses that work there, but the rest I guess you could research different scholarships/grants or borrow.

vanurse07 - I was in the first round of FNP decisions. (And I did my interview over the phone and it wasn't a problem).
porterwoman - A few months?!? How about less than 2 months! I can't wait.
