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?

If you go to the Maryville online bookstore and pull up the fall classes you can find them under nursing 600 and 601. FYI-I found some good deals on half.com too

I am heading over to half.com now, I usually get good deals there too. I am only concerned about the Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing because it says with CD and Access and usually used books you buy online don't come with that stuff so I will have to look for that. Usually I don't mind not having the CD, but Access is probably a code we may need. Especially because its online courses I am worried we might need it. Good Luck finding good deals!!!!

Also for those of you who have been out of school for awhile...I just finished up my BSN and I didn't buy the new APA book, I just used Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide and APA Style

All the information I needed was on those sites so I didn't have to go searching through a book!

Thanks for posting the ISBN numbers. I don't have the mine right now to purchase even the discounted rate so with my student account I just purchased the books and they are on the way. I am glad that I went back and looked on my student site because I remembered that we did have 4 books for the semester not 2. My total is $265 dollars for the 4 books. For the spring though I will have financial aid funds early so I will purchase our books (provided we won't need an access code) at the discounted rates and from the very helpful sites you posted !!!! Looks like we will have papers to do but I don't know if we will have multiple choice tests. I wished that I knew students from the program who can give us some insight here. I will ask my advisor though......

Yes I was wondering the same thing about the tests.I have read that other programs have tests and that they r timed per answer like 2 minutes or something and if u don't answer before times up it moves to the next question... But idk if that's what they do here or not. I bought the two books for the first half on half.com and spent 46 dollars... Not bad. I will buy the other two in the next couple of weeks. But no rush because we don't need them until October.

Well I hope that the instructors don't pull any sneaky tricks like administering tests and not telling us what to study for.....

Just curious, has anyone asked which semester/classes have a clinical component? I've been traveling for work so I need to figure out when I need to settle down in one spot to work on my clinicals.

Im so glad to see all of you guys excited about this program I am finishing my BSN now, but have had constant contact with my admissions counsler from Maryville U. and I will start the application process in less than a year. Do you guys plan to work while in school? I think the online option would be the best for me. Keep the forum updated on how everything is going. This right now is the school I am hoping to get into mainly because the help from the admissions department has been superb. My GPA is lower but my nursing school is over 3.5 my overall is over 3.0 which is their minimum. Do you guys have any advise for applying to the program. Whatever would be great help. Thanks so much for reading and good luck hopefully you guys will be graduating while I'm getting accepted.

Congratulations on obtaining your BSN. That is a step in the right direction for sure. Keep your resume updated because they will ask for that. Get professional references lined up too as they will ask for 3 of them for NP admittance. Study different personal statements and start preparing yours and have it done so that you are not rushing around at the last minute preparing this part of the admission process/packet. Pray and ask for Gods blessing over your endeavors and ask Him to give you strength to be the very best NP that you can. Do not let others discourage you. If you have to keep this dream to yourself then do so, otherwise keep pressing on until you reach your goal !!!!:nurse:

I agree.for the personal statement start writing why you choose to be a FNP,ANP and so on.also your philosophy of nursing.try to practice writing condense and concise papers.i oringinally wrote my paper with 1500 words then had to revise and shorten it to 500 words.im so happy and excited.i just wanna start already! I wonder where everyone is located.im in florida.Praying we all keep in touch and help one another.
