I am heavily considering Graceland for my FNP education. I would be doing the online certificate program, I am aware that there is one required on campus visit for the assessment testing.
can anybody give me their opinion/experience etc? I would love to hear the positives and negatives. I have already taken a proactive start in finding preceptors, and I have several NPs and MDs who have committed hours to me, so I am not too intimidated by finding preceptors.
Anything else that I need to know about? I have a very solid 3.8 GPA from my MSN degree, have excellent references and was told that for the post grad certificate program there are only 15-25 applicants each semester for 15 spots.
Also, I plan on working full time for the majority of the program, and may stop only a few months prior to graduation to prepare for the boards. I am the insurance provider for my family so going per diem or part time, unfortunately, isn't an option. Thanks
