I am in the process of applying to the FNP program and was just curious if there were anyone here that is going to this program. I am wondering how it will be, I did my BSN online through the University of Pheonix and this will be different as it is more of a semester format vs. the 5 or 6 week class type format they had.
I will probably be doing a part time program as with 3 kids and my youngest being 1yr old this week and working part time, I am hoping this will be something I can get done.
I live in the Pocono's of PA and chose here as when I spoke to the university even though they are distance they have clinical affiliations here nearby so I am hoping it won't be too bad at finding preceptors. I was contemplating going to a ground school but then I found out from a FNP friend that all the universities in my area expect the student to find and arrange their own clinical, so I would have this no matter which way I decided but I really like the idea of sitting in my PJ going to class.

Its funny you ask me this today...2 weeks into the semester and Ive yet to find a clinical site. So I am one of those ppl in danger of not graduating. There are plenty of sites to go to in LI area but I live in the Bronx and can't drive
how are the online classes going? I will be attending the ANP classes next year.

Kimaboogie,
That's a terrible situation---have you tried networking with NP's in the NY State NP Society? They have NYC chapters. Their website is: www.thenpa.org I just joined myself. Also, have you tried contacting the Education Dept of NYC hospitals?? I'm hoping you find something soon--let us know how you progress. I am considering attending SUNY SB on-line, but I also live in NYCity----are you in the Family NP program (for which they have closed new admissions)? Your experience is making me think I should attend an "on campus" program with its own clinicals here in the 5 boroughs of NYCity..... Thanks for any advice you have and good luck. :heartbeat
