Nursing Students NP Students
Published Nov 4, 2014
I just found out I was accepted into the Simmons FNP online program starting Januray 2015. Anyone else starting around the same time? I would also love to talk to people currently going there and how they like it. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

I'm currently in the program. I am in the March Part-Time cohort. Clinicals has already started for many student, might have better luck on the Simmons Facebook page (search for nursing@simmons) for these questions. I don't start clinical until June next year, however, I have already been told that they have secured placement in my area for students. I also helped the school get an affiliation agreement with the local VA medical center as well for the school.
Anyway, so far I love the program. It's really tough at times and A LOT of work. I started full time, but dropped to part time in term 2 due to having to work full time and not having enough time for school. A lot of people do full time work and full time school but with three kids at home under the age of 9 i just couldn't do it! =) I'm also the only one that works/has an income so no choice for me.
Congrats to those who got in, and good luck to those waiting. Feel free to friend me on facebook and/or send me a message on here if you have any questions.

I just found out I got into the March 15 cohort! Tasha, how did you secure a VA collaboration? I would love to do this, even though I won't start clinicals until next year.

I have been accepted fort January part time with the bio bridge course. I'm not 100 percent sure I am accepting, but it seems more than likely that I will accept. I have been in constant contact with the admissions team and attended the webinars (which I suggest to everyone; very helpful) and current students seem to enjoy the program and says staff are very understanding and flexible.
