FNP Programs

  • Expert

Hi all,

I know this has been beat to death, but I'm struggling to find the "right" FNP program. I'm a current RN in the State of Minnesota with years of diverse experience. I am ready to take the next step toward my FNP.

I need a program that works for Minnesota, I need one that is 100% online with few to no on-site college campus visits, I'd like one that offers discounted tuition to Veterans, and I'd like to complete the program in as little time possible. I do much better when I hit it hard and get it done quickly. Long, drawn out programs tend to lose my motivation and interest.

Any good advice out there? I'm currently looking into Simmons University, which seems to have everything I need. But, there are SO many of them out there, it's tough to nail down one.

Thank you all in advance for any advice you can offer. And, good luck to you all in your studies and careers!

    No, not yet. A little busy with the COVID these days. But I’m still looking for recommendations.

    I just got accepted to Texas women’s university and Saint Joseph’s Maine. You can look into those. They require one on-site visit and Maine has a military tuition discount.

    Check out Indiana State University. I just graduated and passed my AANP exam. I know you said long drawn out programs tend to lose your motivation but your original post was almost three years ago. What I am getting at is, yes my program was about two and a half years part time. You would have to check for a military discount. I felt well prepared in clinicals and for my exam. I highly recommend it! There is no on-site college campus visits and I paid approximately 27k after I received a scholarship by simply filling out an application at the beginning of the program. I worked full time my first year but then part time and per diem for the last year and a half. Good luck! ?

    Any more advice from you or others would be fabulous!
