I started their acute care program years ago. I honestly was disappointed in the program and transferred shortly after starting. I was surprised how unorganized it was for a big state school. Are you...
I am sorry, pray tell how someone with <1000 hours NP experience (school combined and being generous) prepare someone to be a competent critical care provider. I did acute care at a large state...
On campus for sure. I am not saying that online education is bad but you will be VERY stressed looking for preceptors. I know many people who flat out quit because it was not possible. Remember,...
Even so it is not enough, my year long program was close to 4000 hours on top of my thousands and thousands of RNs hours. PAs do at least a few thousand, MDS have 15000-20000 hours. Being a student...

Very very competitive. I did one where only 2 residents were accepted (Well over a hundred applicants). AMAZING program but obviously low pay for a year. My ICU experience did little to help me as an...
A mix of both but at the end of the day everyone uses uptodate for practice, I used frameworks for internal medicine if I need to brush up on concepts. I actually bought board review for MD residents,...
So I work as an ARNP ( I did a year long fellowship as well). No one in clinical practice cares about the DNP and 90% of HR personnel and 99% of physicians in my experience barely even know there are...
