Anyone currently in Otterbein's FNP program? I would love to hear about your experience. Are you full or part-time? How has the hybrid program worked for you? I've applied for the May 2018 class but have not heard anything yet..... fingers crossed!!

Anyone else apply?

I applied too! Good luck! I think it may be Febuary-ish before we hear something.

Good Luck to you!!! I'm hoping to find more classmates and students currently in the program! How did your interview go?

Thanks! Honestly, I am not sure how it went or what to expect. I graduated in 2003 with my ADN and finally finished my BSN earlier this year. I have a strong clinical background and a high GPA. However, I have been in insurance the last few years as an educator. So, it may hurt my ability to get in because I am not currently in a clinical setting. I guess it will depend on how many applied and how I compare to others. The program seemed like the best fit for me but I've started to consider other schools as well. In terms of online, haven't found much in the way of other current students but past comments have always been positive in regards to the program.

How did your interview go?

I think it went well. The person who I was scheduled to interview with was out on a family emergency so I interviewed with the director (I think). I was interviewed with another person (applicant)as well, so that was kind of weird. I hated hand writing our response to the question at the end. I have poor handwriting and I feel much better at typing! lol I'm hoping I made a good first impression, b/c I really want to attend Otterbein. I did apply to other schools to keep my options open just in case.

Hello to all.. I am new to this site. I too plan to go to FNP school this summer and got accepted to all schools I applied to. Was wondering about if I choose the right choice. Well, everyone's circumstances are different.

I am leaning toward U of Cincinnati than Chamberlain or Otterbein due to student loan (government loan given if you take > 5 credits each semester). Thinking I can finish the program in 7 semesters with U of C. But I never have online classes before. So Nervous about that!! Can someone that is in the same situation, what will you choose?
