If you do well with teaching yourself u will be fine..find a facebook group with students starting august. Also you will have to find/pay your own preceptor when that time comes which can be another $500-2000 I pay mine $10/hour and I’ve had 3 so far so that’s a lot of money where’s you can apply to a school who will take that stress from you and find you a preceptor. Just something to think about
-
there are tons of websites and resources on facebook that can use to find a preceptor like preceptortree, preceptorhub, facebook FNP preceptor groups for example
-
its very doable if you are organized and stay on top of your assignments the only bad thing is you may have to find/pay your own preceptor during your last year. I've been paying for all my preceptors, UTA will not help you find any most of the time. Also congratulations!!

the classes are pretty much lined up for you, some of the classes are easy like the first 3 then you have patho,pharmacology, family 1-3 which are more difficult and require more time I think you should reach out to a student advisor to guide you

Yes, I am still in the program and I will be graduating the end of this year. What got me through was my facebook/whatsapp study group. I would advise anyone entering this program to find you a study buddy so a facebook group where you guys study together.

Firstly congratulations for taking this next big step Where do I even begin when I started this program I was in between UTA and TWU. I choose uta because the online option and the fact we only had to do one class at a time, things were smooth sailing until advanced patho, luckily I found a uta facebook group and we students came together and communicated and studied together and I was able to find a couple students that till this day I continue to study with (thank God for them) also Dr.Gonzalez was a great teacher and his exams were doable I just dislike the amount of content plus some of us students are full time nurses with children and life beyond school. Health assessment also doable I just dislike how the teacher hid the assignment content so students who wanted to get ahead or who had to find people to do the demonstrations/assessment videos with were basically forced to complete assignment in that week instead of before hand if she had just made all assignments viewable from day one. Advanced pharmacology the worst nursing class I have ever taken and I am sure I’m not alone in this, trust me I am not saying this because I made a C. I worked hard for my C and I was pregnant while studying so I was estatic to even pass without disrupting my pregnancy. If I am paying about $2000 per class I would like an instructor who is not just going to read me PowerPoints and tell me go take an exam with a billion content and expect me to understand of course as a student I’m just going to memorize to pass, and I feel terrible about that honestly I do. I think an instructor with a fresh mind will do.. exams that match with the study materials and when making module videos be more lively, enthusiastic, personable, and please note that we want to only know material that will be useful in practice or for exams. In other words don’t lecture over red, blue, orange, green, purple, and pink when only red is going to be presented to me in the exam.. you’re hurting our brain and listen we are coming back from a 12 hour shift… or trying to put our kids to sleep and have work the following morning for example. You guys were definitely harsh with the respondus videos during this class as well telling us positions to place the camera. We understand you guys trying to eliminate the possibility of academic dishonesty but telling us one day or even hours before exams was very stressful. Next, and second most important the fact that we already have to pay $2000+ per class then have to find our own preceptors… really UTA. If I had known this I probably would have went to TWU or looked for another program. The amount of stress this puts students in is awful. I just had to pay some out of pocket on my own because I would like to graduate on time as I have a baby to raise. All in all please reduce your content for patho and most especially pharm or please try to locate another instructor, and lastly, please let forthcoming students know that they will have to find their own preceptors. Also for family 2 some coaches graded more harshly than others which I felt was unfair and distasteful. Please UTA make changes so that more students can be more successful in this program. this is some of the complain I made to the program I graduate this December and it was not easy im grateful I also had a couple friends in the program as well so we all studied together. It is doable if you are comfortable with teaching yourself
