Hey everyone,

Is anyone in Jacksonville, FL doing CCN FNP program?

[Akayen]

I am located in the Chicagoland area. Has anyone in the same area had trouble finding FNP preceptors for their clinicals? I don't have any contacts with any FNPs and was wondering how you went about making preceptor requests. Was there any clinics that had preceptors that were more accommodating than others to the request to precept? How helpful was CCN in their guidance?

I too am curious about the Chicagoland area. Can we just use any family doctor? They said we could use MD or NP centers. My family doc had a NP student with him once, so I'm thinking of asking him.

So far we have only heard from one graduate of Chamberlains FNP Program. Do we have more graduates out here?

I'm a graduate. Let me know what questions you have.

I'm starting the FNP with Chamberlain in July. I would love to hear any advice and preparation you can suggest for the program. Thanks in advance!

I'm set to start the program here in May and had a couple of questions for a graduate.

How is the job search? Did you/are you having any trouble as a Chamberlain graduate vs. a more traditional program? Did you feel fully prepared for certification?

I tend to do well in the online setting and feel like the 8 week sessions will work the best with my current job schedule, but still hesitate just a little bit with the for profit vs. traditional university and the possibility of having trouble finding a job after graduation.

I am wondering how immersion weekend was? I am currently in Advanced assessment.

Before these schools even have a chance of offering these programs they must be accredited by different organizations. So your instructor stating these schools are being cracked down on is lunacy. Not all students are classroom material. Many students have successfully graduated and acquired jobs. It is such an eye roller when I read how these schools are this and that. everyone and what works for them. Before these schools can even offer the program they must be approved, students are sitting for boards, its not just a certification. I laugh when I hear you will get not get a job because you did online school. We also have to do long hours of clinical just like everyone else. We interact with our professors and have learnt a great deal and we also learn to be independent thinker.

Agreed. To many useless opinions here.

Congrats Schmacy!

I am currently in the FNP program and will be starting the specialty courses soon. How are the core and specialty courses different. Will I have exams instead of papers/discussions for the specialty courses?
