Maryville University FNP Program Recent Student's Reviews

[TereseRN]

I had an appointment this past week with an admission's advisor for the Maryville U online FNP program. I was really impressed with how she described the program and since our conversation I have been able to easily get in touch with her through email. I can not say the same for University of Cincinnati. I have emailed my advisor and she has yet to get in touch with me nor call me back. Simmons College's advisor has also been very helpful and is great with the follow up phone calls. This makes me think that these are my two programs that I will apply. My only concern is, that when I research Maryville's program on here to read reviews I have seen a lot of mixed reviews. Most of these reviews were from a year or so back when the program was still so new to online. What I would like to know is how are current Maryville students liking the program? Is it user friendly? Work load manageable with working and family life? Do you feel like the program is giving you a great education and preparing you to become a well versed and knowledgable FNP that will pass boards?

Thanks Jen! I started this fall and it's going really well. I have a lot of changes (new job and just found out we are expecting!) and I feel like this program is the only one that will accommodate and be doable during all these changes. I will be delivering in May so it's good to hear you were about to take off 8 weeks! I will make sure I speak with my advisor about this.

Hello, I thinking about applying. How do you like it so far?

Was it hard to find placement on your own for clinicals?

I am applying to MVU for Spring 2018. Are there any other FNP students at this school that can give me advice?

[Jilaweez, BSN, MSN, RN]

Just good time management, like any other online program. Don't sweat the small stuff, I see students write novels for discussion boards. They want some good info with one or two sources and that's it. There's a lot of group work early on, but the clinical semesters it gets easier. Look for preceptors earlier, esp for peds/ob. Follow the rubrics for assignments. Get involved with online study groups!!!!

[SummitRN, BSN, RN]

Can anyone give some examples of what the group assignments are like?

Are exams multiple choice or essay?

Hi nurses 😊

I just got accepted for the Maryville fnp program for spring 2018 and was wondering if anyone here will be in that group as well?

And how is the reviews for the fnp program so far for those in the classes already? Is it any better?

I have a choice to make between 2 schools so pls respond

Thank you

I'm trying to decide between Maryville and South University for FNP Online

. Was leaning toward Maryville, but I'm already 50 so don't want to drag this out, and I just realized the program is quite a bit longer than South. Any input?

[bettieRN]

One of my co-workers is currently attending FNP at South. She works full-time as private duty nurse. She states it's hard but doable. I personally attended South ( online) for half of my BSN. It was pleasant experience. Just very expensive. I am 52 years old and I need the extra time that Maryville provides. I don't want to feel very stressed or rushed. So, far I have had pleasant experience at Maryville. My admission advisor is very attentive. I have submitted all my documents and should know soon. I don't think you will go wrong with either program. Good Luck!
