Hi everyone! Quick post- just wanted to give back to the community...when I was looking into various FNP programs that both fit my budget and had a challenging curriculum, American Sentinel was one of the schools that I looked into. Unfortunately, al...

Thanks for stepping in! I've been on Allnurses for years and sadly I still witness the same judgment & divisiveness that led me to limit my time on this website years ago. It's still unbelievable to me that students can't post about their school ...

I used the APEA Qbank. I purchased all 4 sections for FNP & did 100 or more questions a day really paying attention to the rationales.

Hi Edward! I think we just accepted you to the ASU fb forum, so welcome! Yes, once you complete the 3p's you'll need to pass APEA.

Whoaaaa I didn't pay anywhere near $45k. In fact it was half that. Did tuition increase LOL?

I'm finishing up Policy. Next is Research, then l'll be starting my NP courses!

Sorry for the late reply. It's somewhat harder, but mainly alot more work & definitely more tedious. And as you proceed, some of the profs grade really strict. Yes the exam was difficult even after taking the 3P's. I bought all 4 sections of the ...

I'm good! I'll be in my 5th class (Policy) on Jan 18th. I was just in that class, but had to drop it due some outrageous work demands & falling behind. My prof for that class is brutal so you need to be on point LOL.

Congrats to everyone starting this month! Head over to the fb group American Sentinel FNP/AGNP/PMHNP...everyone's been pretty busy lately, but it's still a very active group.

I go to American Sentinel University & they now offer the PMHNP.

No problem at all- anytime! You stay safe too ?

No problem! I'm not sure if it's open book or not. I haven't taken Advanced Physical Assessment yet (I'm in Advanced Role Development and Organizational Leadership right now), but I do know that you use Shadow Health for that. After you finish the 3P...

Yes, for proctored exams you'll take them on your computer with a webcam and software program for some classes ?

I would 100% recommend the program. And they have a scholarship if you've been a nurse for at least 10 years, you get $100 per credit reduced tuition for the life of the program which is thousands in savings on top of an already affordable program! I...

Hi! Nope, I don't believe there are any on-site intensives at all. And for your other question, the Advanced Practice Nursing 1-3 is NOT concurrent with the practicum courses, which I love! You do Advanced Practice 1 by itself, then the next term you...

No problem at all! Good luck ?

I learned a long time ago to ignore people OES, especially on this forum. I've been on here a long time, and I've never seen as much snobiness as I've witnessed when coming to this forum. Believe me, there's alot of them on here- it's not really the ...

Thankfully, I have thick skin so other's opinions cease to bother me LOL. Just finished my first class and wasn't that different from the competitive program for my BSN at UIC. It was ALOT of work, alot of studying and many late nights like any other...

Hi Residentmaid! I really like it so far. I complete my 1st class next week. You're on your own for clinicals as you are with most schools, but clinicals don't begin until about a year after you start. They give you suggestions where to look (there's...

I know this is an older thread but thought I'd comment in case anyone was looking for information about American Sentinel. They are now regionally accredited

So far so good! I'm in my first class- Advanced Patho...the 1st class of the program, Advanced Role Development and Organizational Leadership only runs every odd month, so I had to start with Patho. The terms are 8 weeks each, you're not allowed to d...

Hi! I just started American Sentinel earlier this month and I love the 8 week format. I'm currently in Advanced Patho. Yeah it's a lot to go over, but totally do-able for those who work full time. I'm still able to supplement my learning with additio...

@Sleepwalker- so sorry, I just re-read your post & I misunderstood! I see what you were asking now. Yes, I wonder that too...I just thought about it & I don't think a non-physician provider who's not an NP can own a medspa in any state. Sorry...

I guess I was responding to the very first sentence she wrote where she states that she is considering going back for an NP (which is a non-physician/non-physician provider). I took that to mean that she was wanting to be an NP to reduce the need for...

My future goal is to be a Dermatology NP as well as own a Medspa. I'm currently enrolled in an AGNP program as I don't plan on seeing any patients less than 13 years of age on the Dermatology side and then mainly acne issues. I think that would be yo...
