Hello! I know they have 8 week sessions. Is a paper required every week? How about the postings? Did you find it doable with work...I work full time M-F and am just looking for answers from people who are going or gone through it. Thanks:)

Have you heard anything yet? I didn't apply for this campus but am curious how long they take to give applicants an answer.

For me i wanted a program that was campus based since I never took an online class before, cost, location, and the curriculum. This program is set up for me to take one class at a time in 6-12 weeks depending on the class versus 2-3 classes in a semester. I had started a MSN-FNP program at another school but am transferring because of numerous issue. UOPX will also accept up to 9 of my graduate level credits. I also liked the small class size (20) and the cohort way you go through the program. there is many, many programs out there and I really feel this is the right fit for me:)

Yes. Research is one of the core courses required for the MSN part of the program.

Hello. I am set to begin a campus based MSN-FNP program through UOPX this September and am wondering if any nurses have gone through this program. Thanks:)

My orientation was 3 months including didactic and on the unit.

It is a ground program which is just fine by me. There are plently of online programs to choose from and I prefer a classroom setting in which your classmates are there in person. For this program, they use admit up to 20 people each cohort. I believe they said they run this program 2x/year. It is one of the only programs that they do in person and so you must travel to one of 4 campuses that offer it. Looking forward to it!!

Apparently the only place they offer this program in Northern Calif. is in the Sacramento campus. I have a awesome admission/enrollment advisor who told me to give her direct phone number to anyone interested. PM if you want this info. The start date for the program is 9/29/11.

Hi everyone. Just wondering if any one is applying or enrolled to this program in the Sacramento Valley with the September start date? I was so impressed with program and am excited to start!

Hi all. I saw that this thread was started in 2006 so I wanted to ask if there are any people out there currently or recently went to the MSN-FNP program. I am in California.

We can draw blood, draw labs. That tech obviously might have been feeling threatened by you doing this?? In the ICU were I work, we draw everything ourselves (except from a dialysis catheter) and there are no techs.

Western University of Health Sciences is in Pomona, not Ontario. It is accredited by the CA Board of RNs. Did you mean another school because they, WUHS, only offer graduate degrees.

How was the job fair?

This specialization is new so its probably why people aren't responding. Your stats look good but the best resources would be the school itself. I was looking at this school also so I know that each specialty has someone you can email and ask questions to. Good luck.

Western University of Health Sciences. I did research on the various schools I was interested in and I feel this is the best fit. I also made sure to email the person who is in charge of the program I was interested in to ask any questions I had. I don't have anything negative to say about USA but it is on the other side of the country for me and that also played into it.
