I am a Wilkes PMHNP student. I am finishing up semester 4 of 7. Wilkes uses a trimester system. I thought it might be helpful to say that I'm not getting perfect grades, but the classes are teaching me something. I finished up Health Perspectives, Heath Assessment, and Diagnostic reasoning. 2 solid B's in classes with tests and 1 A in the writing class.
The only negative I am experiencing at the moment is they are unwilling to talk about preceptor placement. They make vague statements that you can be placed up to 125 miles from your home. I have found a preceptor through networking, but wanted to know if they placed anyone closer to my home. I live in Oklahoma City so I imagine there are potential preceptors somewhere nearby. The preceptor I found is 100 miles away. I am hoping the drive a few days a week isn't too stressful.
