I am planning on starting at Northern Kentucky University for the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program online. Has anyone ever attended this program? If so any advice or thoughts about this program at NKU? Thanks!

It depends on the class most have discussion boards and papers. Some have quizzes and tests. The big health assessment uses a program where you do the head to toe and history on a fake patient it is pretty cool!

Hi! I’m looking into this program. Would you go through it again if you had too? I’m seeing mixed reviews.

Good to hear! I have a few questions: how far along in the program are you? Do you feel like you’re teaching yourself? Also how are the classes and testing structured?

I'm halfway through the courses part I've done 7 I have 6 left. Sometimes I feel like I am teaching myself. Most classes have recorded lectures which help a lot. All of the classes are set up different some are papers and discussion and some are tests and assignments. You have to do a full head to toe assessment video for health assessment for the final which was very stressful but important. The tests/quizzes are on the lockdown browser. There is also a syllabus bank where you can see old syllabi.

I am in the FNP program and the general courses have been pretty good. 

The exams use a lockdown browser and the ones I had were due by Sunday at midnight..one class gave you a day and a half window to take it!

Hello

I was looking into this school. I noticed it’s not accredited by CCNE or ACEN. Do you know if this makes a difference??

I will have to check into this! I thought it was accredited. We just had the accreditation review.

Oh so this new then?  Thank You for checking. On the website I do see it now. However, I also saw this so that’s why I said it.

I don't believe it is new. They just renewed it so maybe they were waiting on confirmation it was renewed?

They’re CCNE accredited. I applied and waiting to find out if I got into the FNP program.
