Okay, so I've looked into Touro's DNP program. I like it because it will accept my 1000+ hours of masters-level clinicals leaving me with no clinical component and I can easily (or so it seems) get it done in a year.
Has anyone completed this program? Currently enrolled?
And yes...before anyone says anything, I am usually the complete anti-DNP poster. However, I'm just kinda thinking in the back of my brain that maybe I would like a terminal degree.
Have any of you guys started this program? If so, how is it? I'm highly considering it for the cost and most importantly the length. My soon to be alma mater is offering a DNAP to its alumni for roughly the same price, but it takes 2 years, and I think if I go for a doctorate it'll either be a DNP or EdD. I'm just trying to find the cheapest and fastest option for a terminal degree that I may or may not use.
Also, what have you guys done for the DNP practicum requirements? Since it's not clinical based, are you just counting the time you put towards your project as hours, or shadowing an educator or healthcare leader?
