ACNP Program Structure and Clinical Questions

Published

This question is directed at those of you who are ACNP's. Where did you go to school? What did you like/not like about your program? How were clinicals arranged in your program? I am currently looking at ACNP programs. The programs I am looking at specifically are Drexel University and the University of Pittsburgh. I would appreciate any feedback that you can give. I want to make a good decision regarding my graduate education.

all of my class passed and there was 100% the year before as well. as for the online portion, it is only the core classes (minus health assmt.)... and i only had a select group of classes offered online. i had to drive to galveston (4.5. hrs one way) for a one-day-a-week-4-hr class. nothing about the practicum was online.

i do believe that an in-class lecture is more effective and the discussion with both your peers and instructors make a world of difference. i absolutely would not recommend an online acnp program, and i am very online-worthy-friendly. it's just too much to learn via self-teaching/discipline.

I think the online post-Master's at Saint Louis University is well regarded, although expensive. I graduated form thier ANP program a few years ago and I had an opportunity to interact with the ACNP program director at residency - she was great, very knowlegeable.

Hi!

I just applied to St Louis University, and I was curious to know your opinion on the NP program.Actually, the ACNP program if you have any insight , or your overall experience during your master there.

Did you do the "on campus" or "online" program?

I am looking forward to reading your answer!:bowingpur

Thank you for your time .
