Hello,

I am interested in applying for a FNP program and was wondering if someone can recommend or suggest a program?

Check out student nurse practitioner under nursing students on this forum. Also try the search function.

First questions to consider are location of program and on-line vs brick and mortar. Also cost of program. You can pay over 100,000 or 10,000. Also make sure school is accredited. I'm sure there are other things to consider also.

A school that's public and in your state with like a real building that has classes in it and tuition costs less than a quarter of what you'll make as a NP. That's the best one.

Just a word of reality here. NOBODY is hiring a NP because they went to Johns Hopkins.

The best first step you can take is to find a few local NPs working in they type of setting you are interested in and shdow them for a day. You can see if you like the role, talk to them about local programs and which programs local offices hire from, meet some networking contacts/mentors, etc.
