University of Tennessee Health Science Center Dual DNP in FNP/PMHNP program length is 3 years

I believe Vanderbilt MSN programs can be completed in one year (3 semesters). This is their post-BSN option. Doing a Direct CNL program maybe an option. There is one on the east coast (Maryland or VA) this appox 16 months.

Yes, I am aware of RN to MSN programs. I am looking for other BS(Non-Nursing)+RN to DNP programs.

I am new to this forum so, please excuse me if I am not doing this right Background Info: I am in my last semester of grad school (Master's in Social Work). I am interested in becoming a Psych NP. I have gotten myself into a ton of debt pursuing my bachelor's and master's. So I am looking for affordable paths to get me to my goal. Currently, I am considering obtaining my ADN from an accelerated program. Which I can pay for out of pocket. My question is: Are there other DNP programs other than Columbia's DNP that will accept applicants with a non-nursing bachelor's degree with an associate's in nursing?

Yes I am aware of Direct Entry programs. I am wondering are there other programs like Columbia's DNP program.

Tuition alone at various ABSN is 4 times as much as this accelerated ADN. I feel like if I commit to 15-18 months for a ABSN I should just commit myself to a Direct Entry MSN programs to become a CNL, then get a post master's certificate. And pursue a DNP later on down the line.
