      Do you need a minimum of 1 year as a rn to get into a Msn or DNP

  • @Alex-es3fd
    @Alex-es3fd 4 роки тому +56

    There’s also the ADN to FNP route that several schools offer. I know MHPCS and University of Texas Arlington both offer this online. MHPCS offers a three year program if you are a RN. One year of BSN work and two years of FNP work. Arlington is a 3 1/2 year program, 1 /2 years of BSN work and 2 years of FNP work.
    While you could just get your BSN first, these programs give you the security of already being admitted to a FNP program as long as you maintain a 3.0 GPA.

    Great video as always. I'm currently in LVN school and also hold a non-Nursing Bachelor's degree. My plan was to go the direct entry level MSN route after graduating from LVN school next year, but after this info, I'll go the direct entry DNP route while I gain experience working as a nurse. I always thought it was a bit odd that all you need for medical school are the prerequisites (some schools require some shadow/volunteer experience), but to become a DNP you had to go through so many hoops. Glad to know that's no longer the case.

    I know this is old but I think it might be worth mentioning the pre-requisites to get your ADN. Correct me if i'm wrong because I am not a nurse but I think it's about 2 years of schooling before you can apply to ADN programs. My Wife did CNA, LVN, then LVN to RN bridge.

    2. Is there any chance that I can apply for the direct entry MSN/DNP program when I already graduated but haven't finished the prerequisite courses? I wonder if I can finish the prerequisite courses in a community college and then apply for the program.

    See these seem so long to me.. I ended up taking a break from school when I was younger and then had my son so now I’m back trying to get to my goal but I’m not trying to be 40 by the time I get there lol. From what I’ve been told I’m in this ADN program where if I continue with my 4.0 GPA and pass my exam I can go into this program CEP where pretty much I get my BSN in one semester So essentially I would get my ADN and BSN at the same time. And my program is only 12-16 months long and adding the BSN it adds 3 months on so for me I would have graduated in a year but I will be adding the BSN so 15 months all together with my BSN. I have been talking to the school where I’ll be getting my MSN specializing in pediatric nurse practitioner it’s 18months long and I have the option of either taking the extra courses for my DNP at the same time or I can sit for the NP boards and then take my DNP courses and that would take 6 months so all together it’s like 4-5 years instead of the 9-10 years most people talk about

      Someone who’s really good at their job. I’ve had psychiatrists that created iatrogenic illness and destroyed my life and the NP that had less schooling did better. I’ve met good psychs but really screwed up ones that destroy lives. So with anything, it really depends on the person, their lived experience, clinical experience, and their love for people. A lot of creeps go into this field. That’s what I’m more concerned about. Do they treat their patients holistically, looking at all things and not just throw a pill at someone?…. Time in school doesn’t matter. It’s all in how patients are treated.

    Hope you are in good health. I have a question about my plan for studying an online MSN (FNP) program from Cincinnati University. I fear that I might be looked down upon by colleagues or physicians if l got to work with them in hospital later on, or l also might be the last applicant in the list if I am for instance applying for emergency medicine fellowship training. So, do you think sir that could be a hinder to my goal attainment or l should look for another study program where I have to attend in person class.???
    Thank you

    Good video but pretty lengthy sponsorship, try to keep it as sweet and concise as possible. I found it interesting but also found myself wanting to skip ahead. Otherwise helpful video 👌

    This was a really helpful video when I was deciding to start my NP program. I did a video myself about the classes in my curriculum (ua-cam.com/video/nUPr2jr_SXM/v-deo.html) and I was wondering how much different your psych classes were from the core NP classes?
