Anyone know about Maryville's FNP program?

Published

I am writing to see if anyone has attended or heard good things about Maryville University's FNP program? They are starting a new online FNP program next year, but am kind of leery because I am not able to find much about the program. Also, does anyone know where I might find FNP certification pass rates per university?

Specializes in Correctional Nursing; MSN student.

Thank you. I'll try to give them a call. I know another program I'm looking at is supposed to ideal for the working student. I've since learned it requires 40+ hours for most students...she had to drop out. The school reps need to be honest re: the required time commitment. And I'm sure they have a pretty good idea. Good luck to you. I wish I could apply sooner than next winter.

Hi guys...how expensive is the program?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

For the entire program for Maryville's MSN-FNP it's like $24,000 or around that amount because I asked. I hope that this helps. It just kills me how some of the other Universities and colleges want to charge an ungodly price for the same degree/educational content. I wanted to go to Georgetown but their cost is $80,000 for the entire program.....no thanks!!!

Congrats nursegirl2001!

I have applied to Maryville University also last Friday. I have questions about the rigor of the program as well. In addition, I wanted to know what type of support is available for online FNP course and what to expect throughout the coursework; didactics and clinical portion. If you have additional information, kindly post it or IM me and we can get in touch. I am in Los Angeles, CA.

Cheers!

-regards

So you are living in Los Angeles? I won't even bother asking about the cost of living out that way. I worked there 4 years ago on a psyche travel RN job and I loved California !!!! Didn't like the people too much there in LA because they were so rude but anyhoo...obtaining this degree would certainly improve you guys' quality of living out there, correct? I don't have any more information at the moment than you do but I would highly advise you to ask your advisor these questions because they are the ones who know the answers. However, if I find out anything I will let you know. I hope that you get accepted !!!!

Thanks for your comments, nursegirl2001. Quality of life is all good for me; not sure what exactly the comment referred to. I think it is the climate that sells California and not necessarily the other aspects. My psyche rotation experience was not very nice. Our clinical instructor had more psych issues than the patients there. *wink*

Sorry that you did not have a good experience in LA. There are all types of people living in all areas; good, bad, and the ugly :-). I was trying to get a feel & perspective of program from nurses who actually may have attended. Good thing happened that I was able to connect with the student who graduated couple of weeks ago from Maryville FNP program (not online though) and she was very kind and helpful and agreed to mentor me through the program. Yahoo....!!

I will post more info as I get the first hand experience in the program after I am accepted. Anything to assist my fellow nurses.

Please keep me informed about your experience at Maryville as I will as well. I am attending the online MSN-FNP distance learning program. So far I appreciate what I see and how they correspond. I am hoping to transfer in about 6 of my previous graduate credits. I don't start the program until the beginning of September 2012. I would like to buy my books early and kinda get a headstart there but we will see. As for California, I have been to other cities and the people are nicer, more hospitable. The larger the city the more rude the people and LA has that pretty bad....However, the weather is just beautiful as are the mountains and the ocean. Hey I hope to hear back from you when you are accepted.

Regards,
