I completed my DNP from GCU back in April 2019. I've had the most amazing experience especially coming from a traditional brick and mortar school prior to GCU. The program was rigorous especially when it comes to writing the final DNP project similar to a dissertation, in fact I was able to present my final project at 2 prestigious nursing conferences with the guidance of my faculty-mentor. The professors are genuinely helpful and supportive. The DNP program at GCU is a high quality graduate nursing program that is affordable especially designed for working professionals, however, the downside is not everyone finish in 2 years as advertised. Completion is based on successfully implementing, writing, and defending the DNP project at the end of the program.
