I sent you a PM :)

I am in too! I was wait listed for Fall and then they called and asked if I would accept. It was all I could do not to scream YES! Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I followed a second application link that was emailed. That gives financial aid application links, sorry cant post link here.

Applicant Self-Service I followed that link that was sent in a previous email. Good luck!

checked my status manually and I am wait-listed. At least it is not a No.

Congrats ladies! I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully next week :) crossing fingers.

Johns Hopkins just started the DNP & PhD with great schol options.

I had my interview. It was much like a conversation. I started off super chatty. I could hear that I was talking too much and my thoughts were racing. I mentally had to slow it all down. I used standard interview questions, like those on forbes.com and I thought that was very helpful to prepare. There were no questions that caught me off guard. We find out in March. Crossing fingers for all of you.

I just signed up as well for the interview :). Terrified but "everything you want is on the other side of fear".

I got an email from them. See below. I am just going to have to distract myself until they make contact. At this point, your application is complete and being reviewed by faculty. Faculty within the department will review your application and determine if they would like to extend an offer to interview. Should you be offered an interview you will be contacted by the DNP Program Coordinator via email within the next week or two. We have planned to hold virtual interviews the first two weeks in February. Being that they are virtual there is no need to plan a visit to campus. After interviews the admissions committee will meet in early March to determine whom they are considering for admissions. I anticipate admissions decisions being released in mid-March.

My last RN job prior to working as an NP paid $33/hr prior to differentials. Started at 100 000 as a new NP for 5 days/week. I have better work-life balance and I am healthier as I no longer work at night. That being said as a new NP the weight of responsibility is higher and I obsess about my decisions about patient care more. I also check labs at home and email patients. However as I grow I will decrease these practices. What I miss about being an RN was that I had a crew that I loved to work with. Also when you clocked out, and all went well on the shift, your responsibility was complete. I don't miss the lack of power that I felt to truly impact the patient, though. Ultimately becoming an NP was valuable to me especially in a specialty. However there is some loss of privacy, as I have met patients at Target, Macys and in church.

as will I :)

It was specific to Duke. Based on what I have read and discussed with others the DNP is reimbursed by the HRSA Nurse Faculty Loan Program. When do you find out if you are accepted?

Awesome!!!! I listened to the Webinar and they expect to set up interviews in January. So hopefully soon after the holidays.
