Anyone do the Kaplan online NP program?

I am looking at programs now. My company offers a discount with Kaplan so it looks enticing. I know there are a lot of people who say stay away but I am hoping to hear from some who have actually done the online NP program through Kaplan.

What did you think?

What was the format like?

Do they set you up with preceptors for clinicals?

Are you in Texas?

Thanks!!

    One of my good friends is getting ready to graduate from Kaplans FNP program this month. She is extremely skilled and excelled in her clinicals. She loved the program.

    Like 95% of online programs, you need to find your own preceptors....

    I just graduated December 23 from the Kaplan post-masters FNP program. I am in Texas. The program was fine. You really need to be able to teach yourself though. Like many online schools there aren't any lectures, just assignments and readings. You have to find your own preceptors, which wasn't bad here in Texas, I just networked a lot! Give me a month and I'll tell you if I passed my certification test or not. I think that will be the real deciding factor on how good the school is.

    Is Kaplan for profit? What are the job prospects like for Kaplan grads?

    Kaplan is a for-profit school as far as I know. It's my understanding that Purdue is acquiring them and that will change. Honestly, I don't think once you have your certification, and license, anyone is really going to care where you went to school as long as they are accredited. I had a job offer before I graduated from one of the clinics I precepted at, so I think it's all in how you present yourself.

    Congratulations!! I agree, as long as the school is accredited I think thats all that matters. Can I ask what the program looked like for you as far as time? did you work full time, how did the rest schedule out?

    So happy for you!

    Thank you! I did work full time throughout the program. I already had a masters from another college, so I just did the post-masters cert. It took me just about a year and a half because I had trouble finding a preceptor once. I arranged my schedule at work so that I worked every Thursday-Sunday night shift, and then did my clinicals on Tuesday-Thursday. Basically, I was exhausted all of the time, but in the end, it's worth it.
