Franklin University ADN to MSN/PMHNP ... so far

Published

Theres not much on this program, so I just wanted to write a review so far. I just started the ADN to MSN/pmhnp program not too long ago. Everything has been smooth sailing and organized so far. I enjoy the content, discussion boards, and other writing assignments, but nothing too tedious just yet. Good for those who are working full-time. I already have a bachelors and masters in another field so wanted to skip the BSN. In this program, you don't do any BSN classes you jump straight into the MSN courses after taking one graduate pre-req. The program will take about 28-32 months which is fine with me, not in a rush. you take 2 classes every semester, 1 class every 8 weeks, until you get to clinicals you take 1 one clinical per semester. You do have to find your own clinicals, the school is in Columbus, Ohio. Hope this helps for anyone who is interested in a program that goes from ADN to MSN without needing additional courses. Good luck on the journey!

Hi there! I'm looking at this exact program now. How do you like it there so far? Do you feel you are supported as a student? Are there a lot of exams?

Hey! I haven't had any issues with the program so far. I feel supported, the professors are easy to reach and fair, I feel like they want you to succeed. The first three classes are mainly discussion boards and papers, no exams. I'm in advanced patho this semesters and we have 3 exams and 3 quizzes. I'm doing well so far. It's very doable, even while working. This program is still kinda new so I took a leap a faith and glad I did.

Thank you so much for responding. There's not much information on the school or the pmhnp program so this is so helpful. I love the fact that I can bridge into the program with only one class. Do you know how long the program is including the bridge course?

You are welcome! A little under 3 years with the bridge class. The regular classes are the first year and a half, and clinicals are the last year.

Hello @isisha would love to get information on whether this program has pre recorded lectures for at least the heavier/ core classes. I was accepted into this program and while I understand that there will be a lot of self learning I appreciate having available lecture material to review. Any information you are able to provide is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hello Sherine, unfortunately there are no pre recorded lectures . The program is pretty much self taught with some guidance.

Thank you for the information. It seems like this is how most NP programs are. Do you feel like your are being adequately prepared for the role of a provider and completing board examinations?
