TWU in Denton NP Program OR UTA NP Program

[missvictoriat]

Hi!

I have 2 years experience in Med-Surg, Telemetry and Oncology. I am single with no kids and work full time (three 12 hour shifts) NIGHT shift at a hospital on a TELE/ONC floor. I am wanting to become a Family Nurse Practitioner and work in state health dept clinic. Recently, I have applied for Texas Woman's University Family NP program in Denton and University of Texas at Arlington Family NP Program. I still haven't heard back but I am wanting to start school FALL 2011.

My questions are for former and current students of TWU and/or UTA in the FAMILY NP Program.

1. What do you like and dislike about the program?

2. What are their Family NP exam pass rates?

3. Did you work FULL TIME or PART TIME while attending school? or NOT work at all?

4. Would you encourage me (single, no kids) to work FULL TIME and go to school FULL-TIME?

5. Which is easier to juggle, working NIGHT SHIFT OR DAY SHIFT and attending school?

6. Did you have to go for an interview before acceptance into the NP program? What did it consist of?

7. Do you think my 2 years experience as a staff RN in a hospital is ENOUGH experience to go back for my masters FNP?

8. What made you decide on your school? What was the determining factor?

9. Do you have to find your own perceptors? How did you find them? How does the school assist you find perceptors, if you are not able to find one?

10. Was anyone able to find grants or scholarships to attend grad school?

11. How many classes were online and on campus? Because I will have to commute from Lewisville and Denton is closer to be than Arlington.

Thank you. LOL. Sorry so many questions. I appreciate any feedback!

The study guide for the book she took quite a few questions plus some of them she just asked in a different way so please invest time into looking at it.

Thanks so much, I will be doing this. I didn't do so hot on the first exam.

Hello,

I will be taking this class in the Fall. So....basically all I should do it memorize the notes and that should be enough to help pass the exams? I am so nervous about taking this class, I hear that it is very tough. Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks

No-I would never recommend just memorizing the notes. You need to retain and understand this information to use in your practice as a nurse practitioner. At this point in your career and education, you should definitely be beyond "memorizing the notes." That might get you a passing grade, but it won't help you become a good NP.

Hello, All

UTA now offers an online FNP program. Anyone heard any reviews?

Hello I start the PNP program at TWU Dallas campus in the spring and I Was trying to see if two classes a semester is doable or should I do 1. I do have two kids and a husband and work 3 days a week. I just don't want to put too much on myself just to finish in two years. Any input would be greatly appreciate.

Hello everyone! I was wondering if any of you had some advice or insight into TWU's FNP program? I was accepted for Spring 2021, but I don't know anyone who has experience with the program. Any help is appreciated!

I attended TWU but I did the PNP program. Congratulations on getting in!
