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...
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...
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...
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...
@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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I don't believe there is a full time option, at least there isn't for PNP. There is a helpful quarter-by-quarter plan of study on the website, and they pretty much follow that to a T. You can work...
Hi! I started Drexel's PNP program last fall. Can't speak to the FNP specific stuff but these first few quarters are the same no matter what track you're in so I'd be happy to answer any
I live in Denver and applied to CU's PNP program but was really unimpressed with my interaction with the staff during the application process. I basically sent in my application and then several...
I'm sorry, but this is what Google is for. Also there are hundreds of discussions on these forums about the various school options. Going back to school and eventually working as an NP is a big...
I was surprised to find out I was accepted after only a week, and I'm not really sure what I did to stand out. I have 4 years of pediatric nursing experience and my undergrad GPA was a 3.6 I think. I...
Yup I'm quite a bit out of state, and unfortunately don't work at a partner institution. I know a lot of programs now require you to find your own preceptors, so it's not necessarily a negative toward...
That's so great to hear that you were happy with the BSN program! Do you know anybody who has gone through the NP program already? My only real concern is finding my own clinical placements. I'm...
