I didn't see a very updated listing of their requirements, but this is what I found. Did you find a more recent one? https://www.scranton.edu/academics/graduate-education/programs/pcps/nursing/graduate-dnp_na-fact-sheet_2022-dom.pdf You can email Ann Culp or other program faculty and ask?? Not sure if they still require Stats, if you don't already have it. • Possess a baccalaureate degree in nursing from a CCNE, ACEN or CNEA accredited program • Have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.00 or other evidence of ability to complete successfully a graduate program such as grades in other post-baccalaureate courses, scores from national graduate school entrance examinations or a record of progressively higher work experiences • Current U.S. unencumbered registered nurse license • Minimum of one year of critical care nursing experience within five years of application (clinical nursing practice experience form) • 300-word statement of intention identifying career goals, demonstrating communication and writing skills • Three letters of recommendation, preferably from a manager or supervisor, a healthcare provider, or nursing faculty member. Letters should speak to applicant's ability to be successful in the DNP program, addressing items such as clinical skills, critical thinking, independent decision making, and collaborative skills with other health professionals, nursing leadership, etc • Current Basic Cardiac Life Support for the Healthcare Provider (BCLS) certification • Current Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification • Current Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification • Completed two courses in college chemistry • Satisfactory completion of undergraduate or equivalent approved courses in basic physical assessment • Completed statistics course • Critical care certifications are strongly recommended, but not required. For example, CCRN, CMC, etc.

I had two kids before starting, maybe 15% of SRNAs in this program have/had children as a rough guess. Divorce rates are high across all SRNAs, and kids makes it even more of a sacrifice. If you both know what you're getting in to then it's doable. As a single parent it would be very challenging and more important to pick a program close to where you have other support. In my sacrifice, I hoped that my kids learned something about the value of hard work, and I focused on quality time over quantity time. All programs are very rigorous, but you may want to find one that doesn't seem like it's trying to be the bestest by being the hardest. This program did not make things harder than they needed to be, they cared, and were as flexible as they could be. Listen to this podcast with your spouse. You can find it on apple, Patreon, etc. as well. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4acGQkD1mtJ2JZmR6cxF9X

Depends on the clinical site, there are over 20, and most people go to 7 sites or so. During clinical it was 1 day of class and three 8hr days of clinical/wk. During residency, the obligation was five 8hr shifts/wk (40hrs). Many, but not all, clinical sites were flexible and would allow 10's or 12's to get your hours. Some sites might have cases going all night or decent call expierences for example. Off hours are sometimes the best add-ons and emergencies. Other sites you'd be wasting your time so they aren't going to let you do that. They let you rank your requests for clinical sites, but it's not possible to accommodate all 7 requests for everyone.

I know someone who did with more than 1 DUI. Just be remorseful and explain what is the difference between then and now.

I deleted this facebook group as I was advised that Rutger's is not friendly to the idea, probably because of the risks with social media and publicity. I would not worry because it sounds like other classes have used GroupMe or other similar group chat apps to connect, and you will probably get this started at the orientation coming up.

My impression is that the clinical experience/opportunity at this program is very impressive so if you make it there you will get excellent experience even relative to some of the best programs, but my impression is that it is not pleasant getting there (the didactic portion), even less pleasant than other programs. It is always so hard to know certain details about a program without being in it. If you are prepared for a serious grind then you will succeed anywhere, and I see many positive attributes about this program. But if you have other programs accepting you, feel free to email me at [email protected] with your facebook information, and I will reach out to you on facebook to share.

No, Dr. Johnson-Cowley just told me an hour ago that they were still sending emails. Sounded like it could be anytime today at the latest.

What is their reasoning to get the doctorate?

That's a great idea. Be sure to let us know when they're on the way!

Yes today. I received an email notification of update to my application, with a link to the application website https://gradapply.scranton.edu/apply/, with a new message from Admissions & Enrollment department.

Received acceptance off waitlist. However, I expect these come in the order of the waitlist and openings. I am comparing some numbers to decide, with a 2 week deadline for the $2000 deposit.

Check your emails. I received no call but an email that I'm on the waitlist today.

Yes a drop in the bucket relative to most CRNA programs. Are you prospective or accepted?

Notifications are going out by email.
