UPDATE: I do not regret choosing to pursue DNP-NA at the Baylor College of Medicine. I was initially concerned about the cost, as I could essentially go to another program and not take out loans (thanks to my family). The decision to go to BCM was the best. The professors are genuinely interested in the student's success. It is a tough program, and classes are Monday to Friday (after the first six months). But, the immense support from the program director, assistant program directors, and buddies (senior students) have been beyond my expectations. The in-class collaboration with other students from the Physician Assistant and Medical School program is an added bonus. I have no regrets at all :) Also, three of my classmates have children (two guys and a lady); they are doing well. This is not to undermine the rigors of the program. This program is arduous and will test your abilities and resources. But with set plans, determination, dedication, and excellent support systems, one can expect to do okay. So, if you are considering applying to BCM Nurse Anesthesia program, please do not hesitate to do so. In my opinion, you will not regret it. Reach out to me if you have questions!
