Samford University RN to NP program

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I am looking into several RN to Nurse Practitioner programs, and was interested in anyone's suggestions/feedback. The main school I am looking into right now is Samford University. Has anyone done their NP program, or know anyone who has? If not, does anyone have suggestions for a good online program? Thanks so much!

I am currently applying to this program! I did quite a bit of research on online MSN programs, and Samford seems to fit my needs. So far, all I can tell you is they are very good at communicating via email. I'm in contact with a graduate advisor and she's been able to answer all of my questions really quickly and has provided me with lots of info.

Good luck!

I am currently in the FNP program. I graduate in December and I am so glad I chose Samford out of the 5 other programs that I was accepted into. The instructors are always there for you even if you are just feeling overwhelmed. They understand and take the time to encourage and work with you. I am not saying it is easy. I am saying that they care and that is what sets them apart. For example, my first semester I was on the phone with the director of the program and I was just getting over a cold so I had a slight residual cough. Three days later I received a get well card in the mail from the FNP department. It's the little things that they do that lets you know that you are not just a number. The instructors will give you their cell phone numbers in case of an emergency. You do have to go to the campus a few times, but I actually enjoyed going. The campus is amazingly beautiful and you will feel a sense of pride for your school once you have gone. On our visit for orientation we were all invited to a very nice luncheon at the school presidents home and it was also beautiful. The overall experience has been a positive one. The instructors are all specialist in the area that the are lecturing in, so you can feel confident that you are getting accurate information when they make practice suggestions. If you want a solid education from an online program, I would suggest Samford without hesitation.
