Yes I'm a current student it's going great! The school is 100% online. We take our test through proctored free once you do your clinicals in the last term they're gonna fly out to Florida and pay for it. The program is self paced, you take 2 classes at a time for 10 weeks. We usually have a discussion questions case studies, quizzes, write papers, lectures and reading plus two midterms and two finals for each classes. @FNPDC It's a whole different forum just type in search north Palm college you will see a lot of reviews

@pineapples303

Would you say it's very doable for someone working full time? How many hours a week do you have to devote?

Is it flexible? Would you describe it as extremely hard or very manageable? Does self paced just mean no deadlines?

Some places say it's an accelerated 9 month program if you already have the gen education classes done, how long is your track?

I'm waiting to get my transcripts reviewed. 

Thanks for any and all info.

Also what do you mean there's a whole other forum?

@FNPDC If you type in the search bar at the top North Palm you will find more information and reviews about the school. 
Yes I work full time and it's very doable and since it's self paced I can do my homework and test when I choose to. I do a little bit each day and then on my off days which is the weekend. All self paced and very manageable just be organized and pace yourself and you'll be fine. I have all my gen Eds done to finish in 9 months you have to be working on class stuff daily. 
You're welcome

@pineapples303 How many hours a week would you say you spend on classes? Like you I work full time. I have a friend at ICHS and they said the busy work is OVERWHELMING, 20 TO 30 hours a week easy.

Is North palm less busy work focused?

I think I'm pretty close to enrolling, it sounds great 

[pineapples303]

I would say it's way less than 30 to 40 hours a for sure. I think I do more 10 to 12 hours per week and I work full time 40 hours a week and I have a family and kids and I still have time to socialize and be free. Since it's self paced we don't have deadlines. You just have to pace yourself to keep moving forward. Yeah I heard about ICHS
