No : (

So you don't have to sit one on one for a designated 100 hours? You just have to be able to communicate, review, the project etc? Overall, how would you rate your experience? Did you do flex path or traditional? Glad you completed the program! Congrats!

Has anyone provided you any insight?

Would you be so kind to break down how the practicum component works? Any information would be great!

Could explain a little more about the practicum component? It was explained to me that it isn't 100 hours of one on one time. I'm trying to figure out how much time I'd have to be away from work etc. any info would be great!

Can you explain to me what the practicum consisted of? I was told it's not 100 hours of one on one?

Did you ever find out any info on the practicum?

I can't do UTA because it's only offered in Texas. I'm starting Chamberlain in July.

I'm sure you are wanting the recent graduate to respond but I thought I'd also respond. You have your foundation and training. If you enjoy psych, why not focus in on the FNP program and stay in that direction once you complete? It never hurts to continue to learn but I think once you get back into it, your basic knowledge will kick back in. Good luck

Well... I've officially been accepted to Chamberlain. I like that they are equally accredited. Chamberlain allows you to do clinical hours where you work. Frontier will not. Chamberlain has one weekend to attend and a Frontier has two which are basically both one week long. Chamberlain's set up is in 8 week sessions so even if the course is tough, it's only 8 weeks long and then you move on to something else. I also had the opportunity to chat with a Chamberlain graduate who is now a FNP. She explained in detail how well prepared you are to take the final certification once completed. Chamberlain's program is set up where you can take one course at a time vs 3 if needed. You can also double up on some "if" you want to. My my gut felt like it was a better fit.

After I submitted this to you, I thought about that. Thanks again! I know I'm thinking in advance but I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to make all of this work....

I have an additional question. Just wondering if you know the answer. The clinical component (125 hrs) is 8 weeks x's 5, for a total of 10 months basically. Can you speed up the hours for the clinical portion or do they have to be done "per session?" 10 months worth of this plays a huge role on work/life balance. With Frontier the clinical hours can be bulked up in as little as 4 mo's to 10 mo's. Just wondering! Ty

One more question. Did you use all e-books?

You rock AGAIN! Good luck

You rock!!! Ty so much for that input! Puts me at ease and makes sense now!! Congrats congrats!! Are you working anywhere now? Again, thank you for taking the time to give me this feedback!!
