I looked at the list but because my instructors are still TBA, I wasn't sure if they were using the same books or not. Are you going to the on campus orientation?

No I am not. I am doing the orientation online. I am a little confuse though. Maybe it is just me. Because I was accepted later into the program, I had to register for classes that instructors were TBA and waitlisted for those classes. I am a little nervous because it is August and I still don't have any information about who my instructors are and what textbooks I need. I emailed my advisor, but she couldn't help me. She asked me to email other instructors who maybe teaching those classes to see if they can give me some information. Are you having this problem?

It's nice to know that someone in my area is also attending the same program as me. We can help each other along the way if needed.

Same area too rnrachelh. Did you pay for a background check?

Hello. I am new to allnurses. I also found out two weeks ago that I got into their FNP program. I was put on the waitlist and for awhile lost hope, but they contacted me and said I got in. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. What roaring lion said is disturbing. Anyways, I'll be starting in the Fall too.

Too far...I live in the central region of nc. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it FT?

3.91 was my gpa. I know that for duke the gpa, essay and interview are very important for consideration into their program. 3.7 is great! The GRE is not required for your GPA. Tuition is high though but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.

I live in NC. Unfortunately NC is very limited on their online NP program. I would prefer to attend class in person, but I can not. It's been a year since I did my search, but the only schools that offered PT FNP Online were Duke and ECU; however, ECU's is a DNP. Their program was more affordable but required the GRE, references with one being from a doctorally prepared nurse, and other extra requirements. ECU's DNP program is 4 years PT with anywhere from 6 to 9 credit hours a semester. Duke's average is 4-7 credit hours a semester. This would allow some leeway for me to work. And I know 80 grand is A LOT of money. Not sure what I should do now.

I found out last week that I got accepted into the Duke FNP PT program online. While I am very happy, I am also very nervous. I bought a house last year with my husband and take care of my mother and grandmother. I chose PT for school because I can not afford to work less than FT. I need the financial needs to pay for my mortgage and take care of my mother and grandmother. I am concerned that even with this, I won't be able to handle it. Have any of you gone to Duke for their FNP or gone to a school similar to Duke to get their FNP? I would like to hear how you guys managed school and work (if you did). Another concern for me is the tuition which is $80,000. I am concerned that with this amount of loan along with my mortgage, I won't be able to pay for it when I do get a job as a FNP. Has anyone gone to FNP school and pay for a mortgage at the same time? Was it doable? I would really appreciate some input since I have to pay Duke a deposit by June 1st. Thanks.
