Hi everyone! Quick post- just wanted to give back to the community...when I was looking into various FNP programs that both fit my budget and had a challenging curriculum, American Sentinel was one of the schools that I looked into. Unfortunately, although I could find decent information regarding their RN-BSN program, there wasn't much about their FNP program.

It took me months of speaking with them, going through the catalog and finally occurring to me to look at the profiles of NPs on LinkedIn that graduated from American Sentinel to make a final decision. So, even though I don't start my first class until February 17th, I thought I'd just throw this out there in case anyone has questions later on as I progress through the program?

Hey everyone! 
I will be starting the FNP program at ASU in February! It would be great for all of us to continue the communication and support each other through this! What are your thoughts on us creating a (MODERATOR EDIT) or even FB?

Good luck to everyone!

Hello all, 

I will be starting in Jan 2021, I am undecided whether to go FNP or Adult-Gerontology. My current degree plan has FNP but after talking to the advisor today I said maybe Adult-Gerontolgy. 

I would like to have a well-rounded education, I think FNP is the route to go, but I have worked in Internal Medicine and I also enjoy that population. 

How did you narrow down your choice? 

Hello I live in VA and I starting the mental health NP in January

Gtrebyari:  I need to look at my payment schedule.  I didn’t think it was anywhere near that price but I am getting a discount for being a nurse greater than 10 years.  Hmm.  You are very fortunate with your employer. Mine does not offer any form of tuition reimbursement.   I can’t wait to hear what you think of patho as you will be halfway through by the time Christine, Dina and I start.  
Looking forward to staying connected with all of you!

Hi everyone!

Reading everyones reply on this platform is so helpful. Thanks to everyone for the feedback about America sentinel. I will be starting Jan 18th 2021 FNP as well and was very concerned about the 3ps with the exam APEA after. 

Also had the psych NP in mind. Glad you can decide after the 3ps if you decide to change your mind

I hope the faculty will be nice. Hope to chat with you'll on the discussion board 

Please what test book are we using for advance patho 

We can all support each other.  I think the books are on the website.  I am not sure off the top of my head.  I will look tomorrow.  Where are you?  I am in CA.  Take care.

So far so good! I'm in my first class- Advanced Patho...the 1st class of the program, Advanced Role Development and Organizational Leadership only runs every odd month, so I had to start with Patho. The terms are 8 weeks each, you're not allowed to double up or overlap, but I'm fine concentrating on 1 course at a time- it's do-able with my busy schedule. And it's affordable. Like $23,0000 for the program/$27,000 total with ALL fees and charges included. There's a couple of ways to pay- there's a plan at about $425/month, another for $500/month or they also take financial aid. Also- as long as you stay on schedule with the payment plan and don't default, they give you your transcripts and everything once you graduate even if you're not done paying for the program when you're through.

I know it has been a while since you posted, but there is a group of us starting in Jan. 2021.  I was wondering if you could update us on your experience, so far?  Your post have been, so helpful.  Thank you.

Hi guys,

I just purchased my books for patho ( I start in Jan).  I am hopeful that we will be able to swap information when we start so we can help support each other outside of this forum.  I read that they are are discussion boards so I imagine we will be “talking”  through that in class.   Looking forward to meeting some of you.
Happy Holidays!   

I am starting Jan 2021 as well. So I will update everyone as the classes are going
