Hello! I am to start the online DNP program in the fall (2018). I have a couple of questions. Did any of you worry about your clinical skills because it's all online? I asked how we practice skills and they said you learn them mostly in clinical. Next, I have had friends not able to advance in they're program (not U of M) because they couldn't find preceptors. Has anyone had this problem?? Thank you!

Hello! I am to start My DNP at the University of Michigan-Flint in the fall. It is all online. I was wondering if anyone is attending or has graduated from there and was happy about their decision of attending U of M online. my concerns are that there are hardly any times where I am required to attend in class. I expressed concerns about how will students learn hands on skills before going into the work setting. The advisor told me that most hands on stuff is learned through clinicals. Did anyone have difficulty diving into clinicals or the real world without having the ability to practice skills (like sutures or what not))?? Second, is I have had colleagues in graduate school who said they have had to postpone some semesters due to not being able to find precepters. They did not attend U of M though. I noticed that U of M flint does not help find any preceptors..again I asked them and they said it is a good idea to ask people ahead of time. Has anyone ran into trouble finding preceptors?? Or has anyone had to delay classes because they couldn't find a preceptor?? Sorry, long post.. just trying to find some comfort in my decision in choosing U of M flint online. I was hoping it was more of a hybrid, but doing more digging I was wrong. Thank you!

Hello! I am about to complete my year as a critical care registered nurse, and I am getting ready to apply to CRNA school. How ever, I do have some questions.. I am married and I am then read winner when it comes to our two incomes. I make a significant more amount than my husband does..is what I mean! My question is how did some of you pay for college without working? We can't just live off his income, and I'm worried loans won't cover living expenses. We may even have an infant by that time..which makes things a little more complicated. Has anyone else been there and done that? I am determined to get into CRNA school.. so not going is not an option Any help is appreciated!
