Advanced Pharm online

Nursing Students NP Students

Published

Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone can help me. I'm a FNP student and I need to take advanced pharm in the summer in order to graduate on time and decrease my workload during the academic year ( I don't think I can take pharm with assessment or with clinical). I would much rather take it on its own. Can someone please give me some suggestions on where to take it?

My adviser said I should take it at UMASS Boston online. Does anyone else recommend their online program? Or has anyone taken it at UMASS Boston before?

I went through the threads and saw a lot of recommendations for University of Memphis. Has anyone else taken advanced pharm online here? If so, could you please tell me more about the class? and which instructor you took it with? My school requires that I get a copy of the syllabus for my adviser and the grad school to approve it. I also have major test anxiety and hoping to find a advanced pharm class that would match up to my learning needs (i.e. thorough reviews, clear class material, outlines, ppt, ect).

Unfortunately I can only take an online pharm class., unless I can find it elsewhere in Massachusetts. I am open to suggestions.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Where is your FNP program in Mass?

Hi nightnurse,

I'm actually from RI. My FNP program is in RI, but no universities are offering advanced pharmacology at any of the colleges during this summer. Do you know of any in Mass?

I don't get it - you're required to take pharm at a DIFFERENT school in order to graduate on time? That seems odd..

I never said I was required to take it at a different school. I'm required to turn in a syllabus if it is taken at a different school (Which in my case I NEED to take it at a different school, because I need to take it before clinicals which start in Spring 15). My school will not offer it again until Spring 15, and I don't think I will be able to handle pharm, primary care 1, primary care practicum 1. So I have a choice of either taking it this summer at another institution or during the spring with my clinicals.

Does any one have any suggestions? I would appreciate it if people would tell me their experiences with pharm online?

I've heard good things about UMASS' online classes. I didn't take any there, but I have a couple of friends in their NP program who think highly of it.

Thanks so much for your input! UMass Boston have an online class this summer. I'm waiting for the professor to respond to me.

This is a little of topic, but I wonder if the Umass classes would transfer into another NP program? Say, for example Northeastern in Boston? If you took the advanced pharm or others of the 3 P's .... Are there any pre-requisites to the courses at Umass online?

Thanks

You would have to talk to your program director. Some schools will let you take a course or two at another school, and transfer the credits.

I know several faculty at UMB and they are top notch.

Hi there.

My plan was originally to go to Umass Lowell for their Psych NP program. However, when speaking to one of the Dean's yesterday at the school, apparently the program is being discontinued. My thought now is to attend Northeastern, which of course is significantly more expensive than Umass. I thought perhaps I could get a few classes out of the way prior to enrolling, such as the 3 P's, and then transfer them in, to decrease the total cost of Northeastern. Any thoughts BostonFNP? Thank you!

Would have to call an ask them. Most schools don't want you taking courses elsewhere to count towards your degree.
