Published

Anyone applied to and/or have heard from the University of South Alabama Psych NP for Masters or BSN-DNP online for Spring 2012?

Anyone with experience with this program and would like to share info, network, etc. Please respond. Thank you

I applied to USA a year ago and was turned down. I don't know anything about their program other than what I have read.

Are you required to have any psych experience prior to applying to this program? I have 3 years of Med/Surg nursing experience.

Hi,

I am interested in applying to USA'S Bsn-dnp pmhnp program so I was delighted to come across your posts. By the way, how much was the cost per credit hr? It states on their website that it costs around $481 but I called to find out the total costs to avoid surprises. I know that there are mandatory fees so I called USA but couldn't get a direct answer.

Thanks so much.

I am currently in the PMHNP program at USA. The tuition is right at 500 a credit hour when it's all said and done. I expect to pay $1500 per 3 credit hour class.

Yes, you must have 2 years experience in your chosen speciality before you can start clinicals (about one year in).

Hope this helps!

Thanks PsychiatricJill! How's the program so far? Are you left to figure it out on your own or are the instructors or your advisor prompt in getting back to you with any questions that you have.

Thanks again.

The courses are very much self taught, BUT I have had every question answered I have ever asked in a very quick manner. Once you get used to doing the instruction all your own, you will like it more. In the beginning I thought that I had made a mistake. One year later, I am glad that it is the program I am in.

Thanks so much PsychiatricJill for answering my questions. I submitted my application via NursingCAS yesterday so fingers crossed on that end. I will mail in my supplementation application form some time next week. Thanks again!
