University South Alabama DNP - Review anyone??

[BrandybunsRN]

Hello - I'm very interested in the USA DNP program online (plan to specialize in cardiovascular). I'm just curious if anyone has a review or comments on the school since being accepted???? The program seems perfect for my needs, allowing me to work while doing the program, and I even get to specialize in my field! But before I commit myself to a school like this (although the tuition seems the most reasonable of those I've seen), I would love to get some feedback? Anything good/bad/otherwise would be great!

Thanks!!

Brandy ?

Had an amazing experience in the USA PNP program!!! I cannot say enough about it...loved it! I plan to return for my DNP. I have heard from a fellow student that was in my class who went back to get her DNP at UAB that UAB is more like a PhD program than a DNP.

About to start the Fall semester at USA... it will be my 3rd semester, and I have a had a good experience so far. What is everyone elses' experience with USA... Those that have moved further along since this thread was started?

Sincerely,

Since you've already been a student there, have you heard (or has anyone else heard) anything about the Psych DNP program? Im interested in applying for next fall!!

Thanks.

As far as psych specific, I haven't heard much from my cohort, because we haven't gotten to specialty coursework yet, but I do know that USA has a good reputation for preparing PMHNP's. I have only heard good things, but again, it is all hear-say. Only negative things I have heard about about the FNP program.

Thanks Jay!!

I am interested in applying for the Fall 2012 or Spring 2013 class for the BSN-DNP acute care nurse practictioner program at USA. Could anyone else currently in this program tell me how it is? If it was hard to get into? (as in what was your GPA, etc) and have any recommendations on how I could make my application stand out from the rest? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
