@Sherine Samuels Wow! I'm so glad I asked! This is exactly what I was fearing. Some people are OK with that type of learning platform and get through it fine but like I said I had an awful experience with WGU sounds like a very similar program structure. I do not do well in those kinds of do it all yourself type of programs. I have also looked into Frontier, I applied this week. The other school I was considering was Sacred Heart University. They have a great scholarship they are offering right now for NPs that want to focus on working in underserved communities or Rural communities. You do 2 campus visits there as well just like Frontier. I wouldn't even be considering them if it wasn't for the scholarship, since it is $995/credit which is more than I was willing to go. That's why UWF was so appealing to me but it doesn't seem to be a good fit for me. Thank you for your quick response! DM me if you want to let me know where you decide to go, I still would love to have a motivational partner or someone to at least bounce things off of throughout this journey!

I am considering applying for fall 2024 for the FNP program. Could you share your reasons for choosing this school? I am in between FNU, Sacred Heart University and a local university - University of West Florida all online programs. I am wondering if anyone has more specific feedback regarding the program structure at FNU? Online lectures, modules, assignments, exams? Do you feel like you're teaching yourself everything ? How is the faculty support? Do they assist at all with clinical placement locally? I am in Central Florida.

Heyyy....I am thinking of applying to Fall 2024 FNP program. This is such a difficult decision especially since they wait until mid-July to let you know if you got accepted or not so I feel like I have to apply to other schools as well. Any feedback regarding the reasons why you decided to apply? I have heard mixed reviews about the program with having issues finding clinical sites and teaching yourself most of the material which I understand is mainly like all other online programs but I am wondering if the instructors give support and care about your success. I had an awful experience at WGU for my bachelor's. Any information anyone can provide me would be greatly appreciated!! I am a FT Nurse Case Manager for a managed care insurance plan working from home with 3 sons, (18, 12, 2) also a single mom. I really want to move forward with this but I am so afraid of failing. Thanks in advance!

Heyyy @Lynnbsn I just spoke to an enrollment advisor today for the FNP program and it sounds like a great option. Could you tell me what the class structure was like? Also did you work full time while doing the program? I work FT as a nurse case manager at home and I'm terrified I won't be able to swing it. Just trying to get some feedback on the actual work load given. Thanks!!
