UCF MSN or DNP for 2017

Published

Has anyone applied for 2017 MSN or dnp programs for family nurse practitioner, acute care nurse practitioner, or primary care nurse practitioner at University of Central Florida (UCF)?

Hey! Yeah I haven't replied back yet either but I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it because like you said if they change the requirements we would be good to go! I originally applied to the part time MSN and when they called me they told me they will no longer be offering that program part time and it sort of seemed like they might be going towards only DNP eventually. I know schools like UF have been that way for a while so they are probably heading that way too!

Yes they are! When I met with one of the graduate admissions coordinators at UCF she explained that the fall 2017 MSN would be the last one. After that would be DNP only.

It's a great offer! I actually just emailed them back to accept. I hope we get to be in the program together!

For those who have been accepted and are doing full time school, what are your plans for work? I know everyone has different commitments and family responsibilities, so finances are different for everyone. I'm wondering if you know anyone currently in the program and how they managed school while working?

For those that got the email that stated they are accepted into the DNP instead of the MSN have you gotten follow up emails since? I was told we would be getting more information on the next steps but still haven't recieved an email.

No I was a little worried about how "official" it was and finally reached out to the CoN. They said official letters should reach us via mail by the end of this coming week. They said there is a delay in having our degree changed from MSN to DNP and they are trying to avoid having us having to pay the application fee for the DNP. Hopefully it will get sorted out soon...

Congratulations to everyone on their acceptance! I am in for FNP MS. Hoping to connect with everyone. I'm in Vero Beach. Where is everyone else from?

I'm hoping I'm hoping to work full time through the program but willing to go part time or not work if need be. 2nd semester looks the one that would be toughest, 3 classes and 180hr of clinical. What are your thoughts?

I'm from Orlando. I went to ucf for my undergrad so they were my first choice for grad school. Will you be moving to orlando?

I hope we can all meet during orientation :)
