Hello my fellow nurses!, ROLL CALL: Has anyone applied or considered applying to Simmons for a May start date? If so, where are you from?! I have applied and I haven't heard anything yet. I would love to hear from you!

Thank you for your response!

I have applied to Samford and I am already accepted into another FNP program. Still waiting to hear back from Samford. I always look at different FNP program's curriculum... I noticed Samford's program requires students to take Advanced Health Assess...

Hi Gollehon2016. Have you joined the Facebook group for the May2016 Cohort. That is a must. How was orientation? I have not done that part yet. Charr_12, congratulations! There is also a fb page for May2016 with the bridge which means your FNP start ...

Alisha & Blessed Nurs, I called Friday April 8 and the information I recieved was they will begin reviewing in 2 weeks.

Desertsky These are my EXACT concern. I actually like the idea of live classes and being able to ask questions and hear questions asked... However it limits your flexibility. Yet still, the cost of the program is something I can't seem to wrap my min...

That makes a world of difference. I'm trying to decide if that ( clinical placement) is worth the extra $30,000 in tuition. Also found the below article. I am torn between Simmons and my Alma Mater which has a very good program as well, but is half t...

Do you guys know if they do clinical placements for their students?

Congratulations!!!! :)

I'm just now seeing your comment lenadee. Thank you so much for you response!!

I'm going to start using that when I talk to my patients..

Thank You! Nursing@Simmons is what I'm referring to.

Hello everyone! I am hoping to start the Samford FNP track this fall. I just wanted to receive feedback on the program. Any tips or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for the errors in the previous post. Look forward to ...

Hello all! I have applied to several FNP schools and currently waiting on admission. I am seriously considering going for RN to DNP. I work in an environment where there are a lot of nurse practitioners and mostly all of them say they will not be ret...

Hello everyone! I am hoping to start at Samford FNP track this fall, which means I'll be a grafuating class behind you. How are you guys liking the program thus far and is thete any advice you could offer?

Also, can any of the students offer input for how you secured your preceptor? Dis Samford provide a list, or did you do your own networking?

Oh ok, well that is positive news! I'm still playing the waiting game. I think I marked my preferred start date on my application. At any rate, I guess I will know for sure in a few weeks..

Understood. Thank you for the heads up. Is it as rigorous as you anticipated and are you working while in the program? Thanks for your input!

HEllo all! I am still waiting on acceptance into the program. Thiambu, have you already received an offer letter for May?

Hello everyone! I know this thread is sort of dared, but I just wanted to get some feedback on how the program is going? Any advice for those of us who are hoping to start soon? Also exactly how many trips did you make to the campus and for how long...

I am applying for Fall 2016 for DNP but only because I have the time/opporutnity, not because it will change anything I currently do as a FNP. You see, this seems to be the general consensus. It's almost as if people are going for their DNP typicall...

The title is prob a bit misleading. It should probably read APNP/ NP vs DNP.

I was told we wouldn't find out until after April 1, but nothing specific. I did not take the GRE and I have 6 years experience. I would hope their final decisions are based on the candidate as a whole and not one single criterion. If that is the cas...

I am!!!! I'm not sure if I'll be accepted, but I'm praying! Best wishes to you!
