Considering change of NP Programs

[takdwn]

So classes start this week and I'm already reconsidering my choice of NP Programs.

I'm beginning my first semester of an Adult/Gero NP program and am wishing I would have applied at other colleges for an Family NP program. The college that I've been accepted to does not have a FNP program. I am/will continue to be full time while in school and do have to work, fortunately.

My question is - should I even consider switching at this point? How will my application be perceived by a college (with FNP) if I leave the A/G NP program?

Or should I just see this A/G NP through till the end and if still wanting to pursue the FNP route, then do a post-masters certification program? For what its worth I do want to do primary care and feel that FNP gives the best choice of options when finished.

Thanks for your time!

Maybe some of your core A/G NP courses will transfer later? I would not quit your current program until you had acceptance into an FNP program. I don't think your application would be affected. I wouldn't see why. You can always put your reasons for the switch somewhere in your essays. Good luck with your decision!
