Question: if I don't get the notification of the proctored essay, does that mean there's no chance to get admitted? Thanks.

The reason I don't want to take the board is due to the time-consuming match/residency. Maybe I'll consider this path after I have some clinical experience here.

Thanks, shibaowner. That's a really detailed timeline! I was wondering if I finish the Direct Entry MSN that provides an NP track, do I need to take another MSN program to be eligible for taking the NP certification exam? Do you know what schools provide Direct Entry MSN that provides an NP track?

I was wondering what is the shortest path to becoming an NP. My background is BS(clinical medicine) and MD and 5-years ophthalmologist in China. Just moved to Seattle, WA and would like to continue my career in a similar way in U.S. I don't want to take the board certification exam at this point. Instead, an NP sounds perfect to me because of their rights of prescription. I did some research and found tons of information regarding schools/programs of RN/BSN/MSN/DNP. I was wondering if anyone knows the fastest way to become an NP. i.e BSN=>RN=>MSN or ADN=>RN=>MSN... online V.S non-online programs Just started to get familiar with nursing programs around Seattle and would appreciate if anyone could point to the right direction. Thanks!! Mickey
