Anyone currently enrolled in this program? Or anyone ever completed this program? I'm looking for more information in regards to the accessibility of the instructors etc.

Hey! Have you heard anything about this program? I am debating on NKU EKU and St.Francis.

I know NKU is 7 week classes where as EKU is 8 weeks. I’ve heard from eku advertisement that they have a 95% pass rate with boards and they don’t accept everyone. I also heard EKU has proctored exams which is good.

I really haven’t heard much about NKU?

I haven’t gotten any responses for my question on here either - maybe we can help each other out. Let me know if you find out anymore information ?

[KristyK5387]

I don’t think st Francis is nationally accredited. The student reviews of NKU were awful ?

[SykeRn0213]

Have you heard anything about EKU?

[KristyK5387]

They seem to have decent reviews

[SykeRn0213]

Ya that’s what I’ve seen too. Have you decided which program you want to attend?

[KristyK5387]

Not yet looking into Wilkes and barre

Hi KristyK5387- I'm curious if you have decided on a program yet?

'm still leaning towards EKU. I looked into Wilkes which seems like a really good program, but you have to go in a couple of days for 3 of the courses. I am in Illinois, so that would be too fa roflcopters a commute for me.

I got excepted into Wilkes and start in August. They told me I’d only be required to be on campus once. Which is doable for me. I live in Wisconsin.

[SykeRn0213]

Can I ask why you chose Wilkes over EKU? And for the one time that you do need to be on campus- how long do you need to be there for.. a day...three days..a week?

Better reputation and pass rate . Also I only have to take 2 bridge courses since I do not have a BSN. I only have a BS. EKU would not accept my BS.

I spoke to Wilkes today....did they tell you that they find preceptors for you? I just read from someones post on here (who is in the psych NP program) that they are having difficulty finding a preceptor... so now I am confused?
