FNP-MSN

Good afternoon,

Just started FNP program at Rivier University ? Just wondering if anyone else just started this Spring 2019 like me? What classes are taking? Are you full-time or part time? Will you be working throughout the program? Does your school find placement for you or do you have to do it yourself? Is your program online/hybrid/in person?

I'm taking advanced pathophysiology and advanced pharmacology. I'm currently part-time but considering going full-time. But I have to complete one year of classes with good grades before they would consider switching me over. I'm not 100% if I want to switch or just keep my current program of study. I will be working throughout the program. Currently a school nurse at a charter middle school in Boston. I don't think I will be able to maintain this job once it is time for practicum so I was thinking maybe I will go per diem nights at a hospital somewhere. I'm not sure yet. I have to work with my school to find placement/preceptor. Part of me is happy I get a say but not happy because it will probably hard work to find a decent preceptor. I chose the online program because I live about an hour and a half away from the university (next state over). Excited for this new journey nonetheless! ?

    Hi mag426,

    I just started this semester too. I'm doing my first year on-line and then I have to be on site for the rest. I'm taking advanced patho and health policy right now. I'm going part-time so I'll finish by Spring 2021. My school has partnerships with places but they encourage us to network and find our own preceptors first. If we can't, then they help us get a site. I'll be working full-time in a hospital until I have to start clinical, then I'll go part-time.

    Glad to hear someone else is part-time as well. My school has me due to graduate Fall of 2022 if I remain part-time. Which is part of the reason I would like to switch to full-time so that I can finish in 2 years versus 3. I will know what I want to do at the end of this year. We don't go through the summer , only Fall and Spring semesters, so that is probably a reason why my expected finish date is different. How are you doing in Advanced Patho so far? I'm due to take Advanced Health Policy in the fall semester. I'm glad your school is there to help you get a site if you cannot find your own. I feel like that is what my school is saying to us as well, find your own and if not we will help you find one. I wish you well on your new journey. ?

    Yay, glad to hear from you @RNAC92

    I've been accepted for Fall 2019, and will be working per diem through the program. For those of you who have started, how are you finding the course load so far?
