USA Dual ACNP/FNP program?

I was wondering if anyone has gone through (or is currently in) the Dual Role program at the University of South Alabama and what their experience has been? From my previous research, it appears that it is very much self taught, but I did not see anything about experiences in the Dual program.

I'm in a difficult situation, I moved states due to my husband getting into CRNA school and was assured that my current DNP program would get state approval for clinicals...well it turned out that the whole process is ridiculous and now I'm unable to get any clinicals in my state and USA said they would be able to work with me to transfer in classes. However, aside from this issue, I really like my program and want to make sure I know what to expect if I switch. USA does have clinical affiliations already in place in my new state and workplace which will make that aspect easier.

From previous posts I know USA is self taught-I already only read the book and haven't used powerpoints in my current program:). I would love feedback on the dual program, experiences, testing and if you felt prepared for your job after? Thank you for any insight into the program!

Hi! I'm sorry I don't have much advice to offer. I have applied at USA for their dual role program with a fall start. I haven't heard anything about the experience with the dual role either. I wish you luck. Are you in Florida or Alabama now?

No, I will be in NC, but I am transferring in so I won't really be with the class starting in the fall (starting clinical instead). However, I have talked to people in the FNP and they said it was very self taught but they liked it.
