1. NP clinical experience disrupted by COVID-19?

   Margo37 replied to SopranoKris's topic in COVID

   Originally my program was going to have us do online simulation as well, but the certifying groups (ANCC, PNCB, etc) have said this isn’t allowed for the 500 hours minimum needed to take boards. If you’re over that and just need some more for the sch...

   Margo37 replied to SopranoKris's topic in COVID

   We’ve just been told that our program is cancelling clinicals for the Spring quarter. This is my last quarter before I graduate so I am freaking out! They said they’re working on a plan to get us our hours virtually but I’m very concerned with what t...

   granadina, I don't live anywhere near PA and I'm pretty sure none of my coworkers have heard of Drexel either. I'm gearing up to start searching for preceptors for next year, and I'll be honest, I'm a bit nervous about it. I think I'll be at a bit of...

   Tuition rates are available on the website. For 2018-2019 it's $1265/credit. They offer tuition discounts for a decent number of employers though, so something to look in to! I wound up randomly being eligible for a 25% tuition discount because of wh...

   @Gbest529, Good so far! I'm in my forth quarter so I'm taking Advanced Patho now and finally feel like I'm in the meat of the program. The last few quarters were all general MSN classes (ethics, research, etc) and they were all super writing focused ...

   RNbannanie, I'm in the primary care PNP program. I started last fall. I'd be happy to answer any questions! I haven't gotten into the clinical portion yet so I won't be much help there though. I'm also a bit nervous about finding clinicals, but I've ...

   Boojeebarbie, I'm so sorry that was your experience. That's disappointing to hear. My advisor was has been great and very accessible and somebody from admissions was calling me weekly during the process to check in and make sure I didn't have any que...

    I'm in my third quarter and haven't had any exams yet. Just papers and projects and discussion boards. I hate writing so it's been a bit rough, but it's just the nature of the courses we take the first few quarters (research, ethics, quality and safe...

    Yup, before it's time to register you can look ahead and see the different sections and who the professors are. I don't remember exactly what my books were the first quarter but there will also be a link to the Drexel bookstore when you register for ...

    Yeah I didn't find any other Drexel people on here when I started either haha. I took 6 credits the first quarter, it was an ethics class and one on contemporary issues in healthcare. Both were actually pretty interesting

    Congrats!! I don't remember exactly what happened afterwards. You have a certain amount of time to accept the offer of admission and then I feel like it's radio silence for a little bit until things get closer. They give you info on how to set up you...
