University of Southern California (USC) - Anyone graduated the program?
I think the minimum is 2 courses per semester. There is a semester of 3 courses for part time but only one I think. I’m not sure about the acceptance rate. But I do know people failed in the class and some were delayed and was unable to proceed. 2 of my classmate dropped out. However, the profs are supportive. I honestly just don’t know if I wanted to pay close to 100k again haha I graduated in May and I had 5 interviews and 3 job offers in LA as a new grad. I don’t know if it was because of the school or I have 15 years of RN experience.

They will give your result after your exam but no official results will be submitted to your board of nursing without the official transcript with conferral date.

CA
So I just received an email from WA that they will close my file if I don’t give them fingerprints. I will end up flying tomorrow in short notice. I asked for an extension but they didn’t reply and they wanted it done in 30 days. However, I start my new job next week so hello Seattle haha I’m coming for just a live scan haha

CA
I just did this. I applied online. I already have a WA state RN license a long time ago and I just applied for the APRN. You will need to apply for both RN and APRN license. they wanted transcript, verification of NP education, NP certifications and verification of CA license. I saw that CA cashed my check that I sent to them. I enclosed a letter to CA and the form that WA state needed. I’m not certain if they waited for CA because they gave me a temporary APRN license while my live scan is pending. No one is doing the finger print cards right now because of COVID. I ended up staying in CA because I Just found a job but I will eventually fly to WA state to do the live scan.

University of Southern California (USC) - Anyone graduated the program?
Yeah it's like enrolling in a regular class. You pick the day (usually T, W, Thurs ) and time of your choice (between 10 to 7pm PST). But instead of going to school you log in online and attend a zoom class of only a maximum of 12 students. Most students pick classes after 6 pm and late classes tend to get full and closed in minutes of web registration. I find it better actually. With only 12 students per class, the instructor can devote more attention to each student. I had to come in class prepared too (which one should be, because they call out everyone and I couldn't hide haha

E-books?

NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?
I work as a travel nurse every weekend while in school for 3 years and paid as I go. It was hard but I’m glad I didn’t take large loans. It was 1,900 per credit. It’s insane. ???

No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!
It’s dependent on location. I just graduated and applied everywhere in LA area. Crickets. But the Stanislaus county, CA is looking. They found me through LinkedIn without even applying. Unfortunately I can’t move because of My husband so I’m going to be jobless. If you are able to move, the job is there.

CRNA to ACNP or FNP repost
I’m graduating with an FNP this semester and there is nothing in the FNP training that’ll make me work in the ICU. My director who is a lawyer don’t even sign credentialing papers for FNPs working in the hospital. I think you need acute care.

NP clinical experience disrupted by COVID-19?
I’m in LA. Clinicals cancelled. I’m in my last semester too but our program requires close to 800 hours before we can graduate so we are fine for the boards. I’m currently at 750 hours. I think we are also doing virtual for the remaining 50 hours or so.
