Entry points differ too — see BSN to DNP, MSN to DNP, BSN to PhD and DNP to PhD for the routes into each. Cost and funding vary widely; affordable DNP programs and fully funded PhD in nursing programs list the options that publish figures. Admission testing also varies — see DNP programs with no GRE requirement.
