I have not heard nice things about chamberlain. I currently know 5 of their students who are now in USU. Walden does not have a good reputation with most clinical sites. Most people say they are a diploma mill. Colorado technical university is currently being investigated due to misuse of funds (I would Google for more info). This is not to discourage you from attending the other schools. I am just passing on what I have heard. I am in my fifth class at USU and I would say my only complaint is that communication sucks. You ask the same question, but you get different answers from everyone. They do not help you secure clinical sites. I went this route because it was the cheapest I could find.

That is weird. I would ask to speak to someone else. As long as Alabama is not on the list of states that are ineligible to attend (like New york), I see no problem here.

Do you currently live in California? You do need a valid RN license and BSN to apply.

It's been good so far. Pretty similar to canurse's experience. I have not had any issues yet.

Yes, I am.

It was fairly easy. You just need to fill out the application and have your transcript sent to them. It took about 2 weeks to receive the acceptance letter.

Thank you for your patience. I started USU's FNP program after coming on this thread and discussing with you. So far I have had no complaints and I am glad that I started. You have provided more than enough information on here.

I started this month, so its pretty early to know how its going to go, but so far the staff has been great. They respond quickly and professor grades on time and fairly.

Hi Brittani, I started the program and everything seems to be going well so far.

I am starting 9/3 as well. I am feeling all those same emotions. I know it will be fine once we get into a routine. Good luck to you too ??

Anyone starting September? Do we hv a FB group or watsapp? Pls share if there is one. TIA

You make some points that are often ignored. Most nurses have to work overtime to earn what most NPs earn. Most people also do not talk about the wear and tear on the body that comes with bedside nursing.

I heard this alot when going to nursing school. "Dont do it for the money" If none of us cared about the money, we would all work for free. I want to be able to provide for my family and not incur unneccessary debt that would not yield any profits in the long run. I also want to have more autonomy and do more for my patients. Clinic hours also seem more appealing to me.

Thank you for the words of wisdom. I honestly dont see myself as a PMHNP. My dream has always been to work in primary care and with the elderly. I will go with my passion and just hope for the best.
