NYU NP program vs. Hunter?

Published

Been accepted to both schools for Adult (Primary) Care NP program...

Price aside (work will pay for school), any thoughts?

Any opinions or comments on either school/program is appreciated.

Thanks

Depends on how you do things... & if you plan on going to school full time. I am part time as I am working and since I don't want to take Patho & Pharm at the same time, it will probably be 3-1/2 years for me.

Here is my sequence...

Last Fall: 2 classes

Last Spring: 2 classes

This summer off...

** Note: These are 4 classes that everyone must take (core stuff). Research, Health Promotion, Nursing Theory, Nursing Systems & Policy.

Year 2: One class Fall, Spring, & Summer

Patho, Pharm, & Assessment

Remaining: 3 Clinicals + 1 elective

(not sure if I can do clinical over summer)

So its either Fall, Spring, Summer, or another fall semester

Hope this is helpful...

How long does it take to hear back after you have applied ? I applied to the adult Gerontology NP-DNP program for fall 2018 í ½í¸€

I just combed through my emails and stuff... looks like when I applied in 2016 (for Fall 2016 semester), decisions were available on May 15th.

Thank you are you in the program, how is it ? What's the difficulty level?

I'm about half way through. Not that difficult because you are already a professional. To quote my pharm professor: "you already know this." So far its been a review of nursing school but I suspect when clinical starts, the real learning will begin and it will be harder.

So far its been tough because I'm working at the same time (like most of us) and there is always school hanging over my head when I'm not at work. Always in the back of my mind that I have something to do for school. But there is nothing new or super challenging in terms of academics.

In general, I'm entirely negative & skeptical about school to begin with. In my opinion, its a business, end of story. Its about what YOU do (in and after school), not about what the school does for you. So you might as well go where its least expensive.

FYI: I don't necessarily think this is the case with Law school or MBA's.

It's relieving to read I'm not the only one who hasn't heard anything back. NurseKrunch when did you submit your application if you don't mind me asking?

Hey I recieved an email for brief phone interview for hunter's NP program. Is this something new they are doing now?
