FnpER

There is no "skipping" the MSN at UK. You still take the same courses that you would if there was an MSN, but you don't earn a MSN. It seems like less time, but you are actually taking the old MSN and DNP courses at the same time. For questions on the DNP, I would contact the school directly. There can be a lot of confusing information on these blogs that can lead to poor planning or wasted time and effort.

I went to the Barkley course (http://www.npcourses.com) and I bought the Cds. After the review course...I pretty much listened to the Cds and read from the review book one or two sections a day in order to really dive into the material...after I went through it once...i started doing more and more sections per day until it was like a review.... I recently passed the AANP and thought the course was very helpful. I also bought the APEA Q and A book as a memory jogger. I would not recommend just doing a bunch of questions over and over. I would learn the material from whatever review course or book you have and ONLY use question books if you have a routine of writing down what you don't know and looking up why you missed it....studying decreased my anxiety...the more I knew..the better I felt!...Good Luck......(my first post!)
