There was a lot of KP students. In my school group which we talked pretty much every day during school one of the girls was KP employee. Basically you don't need to contact the school because anyone can take any time off at any time most people take off like just a semester I think Brittney took off two semesters and then went back and finished. Yes anytime that you need a break. You can take off the eight weeks for vacation or if it like one girl took off for Christmas or the holidays I did not take any breaks and went completely through along with another person in my group. This program is easy to do while working. They have made it even easier with the requirements much less then before when I was still in school. They have a FB group too.

Hello Ashley This is ChristineS2004. You are correct I graduated in 5/2023 from Post/ASU. I live in CA and yes you are required to take Barkley Pharm Course after graduation for your furnishing license. The pharm course at Post does not meet CA requirements let me know if you have other questions. Christine

Yes I will ask her and get back to you. We were in all the same classes with no breaks up until 20 months and Kaiser paid everything I believe and then she took a 4 month break and came back for her last 8 months. She finishes in September. Yes, she used the Ben hudnall program. There were many times I thought about a break and I just kept pushing myself. Take it one class at a time. FYI It been a long time since I went to school too and if I can do it u will too. Now I am working my first NP job and love it. R u in CA? OK write back when I hear from her.

Hello, I graduated from American sentinel/post University, May 2023 with my adult gerontology nurse practitioner. I completed the program in 28 months without any breaks. It was such a great experience for me. I had no problems whatsoever. I was working full-time, and I have children. The classes are completely doable. You have a discussion post every week sometimes 2, but rarely and some written assignments for some of the classes. You may have a midterm or a final in some of the classes. You can look on Quizlet for questions related to the textbook for some of the classes. And the 3P exam you can find a blue print if you go to the APEA website it is helpful, but I think you get most of the questions basically from the work you do in the first three classes. After finishing the 3P exam, you have three more classes before you get to the core NP classes these three classes are pretty easy, their leadership, research and something else I can't remember pretty straightforward. After you finish these six classes, you'll go into the core program of eight classes where you have your didactic and clinical. I don't think I mentioned this but all of the classes are eight weeks long. Sometimes you get a week break in between. If you are an adult Gerontology, Nurse, Practitioner, like I am you can use the same preceptor for all clinical rotations. I personally did not want to work with children, so decided not to do the FNP. For the FNP program during your third clinical and third didactic class you will have a rotation with peds and OB. For that clinical you have to have two separate preceptors one for Peds and one for OB. I noticed that it was difficult for some of the students which is mentioned on the facebook page. I also have a friend who did the FNP program while I was doing the AG NP, who worked at Kaiser, so she had no problem finding Preceptors. Kaiser also paid for her whole program the only thing is that you will have to take breaks if your program paid for by Kaiser so she did take one break the entire time and she took four months off so two classes and she's finishing her last class right now. It just started so she's at her last eight week class and then she'll be an FNP. Some advice I would give you about the facebook page is a lot of the stuff written on there is coming from an anxious place I believe because I never had any problems with any of professors. All of the assignments are straightforward they give you instructions as long as you follow those instructions you'll get an A. Also, I'd like to mention there's been a lot of changes recently for the good for example, they have reduce the amount of soap notes. During my last clinical rotation I had to do six soap notes a day for each clinical. The previous class that was probably a year ahead of me they had to do 12 soap notes for each day of clinical for their last rotation, because each clinical the soap, note requirement went up. Now, right after I graduated, they change the requirement to only one soap note a week, which is quite amazing and let you really focus on learning in your clinical site instead of trying to write a bunch of soap notes. The other great thing that changed actually changed during my last class, an exit exam which is a APEA. Before this test was worth 40% of your grade so you had to score pretty high to pass with an 83% in the class., but now it is only worth 30% of your grade and remember the other assignments are writing a discussion post you're going to get A's on those and watching the APEA videos. My entire class passed. The awesome thing is the school does give you the question banks there are four of them and they also give you the APEA videos do not buy these. They provide the Qbank in the second to the last class and the APEA videos within the last class. I only use these two resources, and passed APEA exam and got an A in the class. This was truly an awesome experience at American set an all post university, so much so that I talk to one of my friends and they're going back to school and she will be starting the program July 2023. Another one of my peers who did the AGNP with me, and graduated talked his wife who is also an RN will start the program in July 2023 also. Another thing I'd like to mention is both my classmate and I took her a NP certification exam quickly after graduating, I took mine 16 days after graduating, and my classmate took his three days after graduating and we both passed the first time. I feel like all those writing assignments all of the soap, notes and everything you do in school really prepares you for the certification exam. I only studied for two weeks and pass the first time. Whenever the negativity sets in or the worry of not passing or finishing the program, just keep telling yourself take it one class at a time and that you can do it!! You got this!! Please forgive any errors this is voice to text. take care Christine

Hello Renee, Yes I have been in this program for 22 months without taking a break and I am completing my 11th class of 14 next week. I also have children and work full time. There is a facebook group just search American Sentinel school name and it will come up. Join this group they are helpful and supportive. On FB I have seen so many finish/ graduate, pass there certification within days of finishing school, and get jobs quickly. If I can do it anyone can, LOL. I will look out for your name on FB and say hi. U got this! Also, some of my classmates have taken breaks when needed. The classes r 8 weeks and the work is manageable. Take care.

Hello, You first have to be admitted to the school. Once you are you will need to take all 3 P classes and pass the APEA Exam. You take the exam around 7 week of your 3rd 3p class. If you pass you go straight in to your 1st NP class. So the answer is yes, if you are admitted in to the school you are admitted to the NP Program as long you pass those already discussed. Good luck!
