What are some good, accredited NP programs that do not require past RN experience or LOR's? My goal is to gain/attain RN experience working full-time while being enrolled in a part-time NP program. It's going to take me atleast 4-5 years to obtain my DNP so i'll have 4-5 years of experience as a RN before actually practicing as an APN. I haven't made any connections with my prof's so I don't really have anyone to ask for a letter. An online DNP program would be ideal.
