Has anyone done this program recently? I would love to hear success stories, especially those who did it with young kids.
Thank you!

I have cohorts with young kids, old kids, no kids, old and young kids, pregnant and giving birth while in program, working more than one job, etc. It can be done, but definitely requires you to put some dedication towards it. Some of my cohorts got behind early on and had to figure out how to fit the time into their schedule.
The good thing about the FNU program is that you are not dropped into the deep end on day 1. Yes, the first term will force you to spend time on school, but each term or few terms the amount of time required to keep up will increase. This gives you time to adjust your schedule and prepare for what is coming up. Of course, some just get blindsided over and over again, but that's a personal issue! lol
For those in the classes I have known, if the individual makes the program a priority and puts in an effort, I have not heard of someone who was unable to accomplish it. Those that do not make it, are those that either choose to quit or think they can skate by like they have in their previous programs. This is definitely not an ADN or even BSN level coursework, but it is something that is imminently doable with dedication and effort.
Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate the time.
