Going straight from MDE to DNP doesn’t shorten the timeframe, it’s still 15 months for MDE and then 2-2.5 years for DNP depending on speciality. There’s no accelerated DNP option. Having said that, if you’re a non-Columbia RN coming into DNP, the tim...

LOL I just wrote out a whole long response and then deleted it because I don’t want to rain on your parade! In the end, I don’t regret going to Columbia but if I could do it all over again, I would go elsewhere. I had high exp...
Ahh thanks so much! Congrats! This is super helpful to know.
yes, we all get that seamless discount automatically, but they aren’t considering any of us for additional merit based scholarships which is frustrating, even for those of us who were i...
Hi, I'm a current MDE-DNP student at CUSON. Would you, or someone else who received a merit scholarship, be willing to share how much that is for?
Some of us who are in MDE now and continuing straight into DNP this fall asked the school about more...

Hi, congrats to all of you who were accepted! I'm considering applying to this program for Fall '22 and wondering if any of you could share whether you received scholarships from the school with your acceptance offers? Totally don't tell me how much,...
Hi @CrystalC
to answer both of your posts:
1. how much I like it depends on the day ?. this is a difficult time to be going to nursing school (or doing anything really!) and Columbia's program is accelerated. That has its pros (done faster,...
They open up applications in the Winter of MDE for current students to apply to the DNP and to allow any current seamless MDE-DNP students to switch specialties (e.g. some will have gotten accepted MDE-Pediatric NP and will decide after some experien...
Ours started at 208 I believe and now I think it’s about 193. Some classes, like patho 1 and 2 are closer to 250+ because there’s lateral DNP students (RNs who went to school elsewhere) taking it with us as part of their program.
My personal feeling is the faculty are a mixed bag... there’s a few professors who are fantastic and a few others who aren’t as great... maybe they struggle to adapt to online or are just not as interested in teaching. I think many feel this way beca...
The MDE program is for a MS that allows you to sit for the NCLEX to become an RN, so when you're finished you're a nurse with a master's degree. To become an NP with Columbia you would have to continue on to one of the DNP programs or CRNA.
Definitely doesn’t matter where you do them! Fwiw I really liked the Johns Hopkins pre-reqs. They’re on the pricier side compared to a CC but I thought they were easy enough and not a competitive environment at all bc it’s very self-paced within each...
Hi- I think it depends on how important these are to your app. If you think it's make-or-break then I would email (or call) admissions and ask about updating your resume. If they're just adding a little more color, I might not bother, but it doesn't ...
