Reviews of NC FNP programs

Hi all. I am looking to apply to RN-MSN FNP online programs in the near future. I have done a good bit of research and spoke with several counselors at different schools. AllNurses has been an awesome resource for nurses to post their personal experiences with many of the schools I'm interested in. I've received lots of feedback and information from ppl that have actually attended Simmons College and Chamberlain. I was able to get a good feel for the course workload and responsiveness and availability of staff and overall reputation of the program. I live in SC but work in Charlotte, NC and so was interested in NC online FNP programs as well however there isn't an abundance of ppl that have actually attended the programs who are sharing their experience...good, bad or otherwise. The only posts I seem to find are ppl waiting on acceptance letters or interviews, but no concrete reviews of their personal experience with the school and it's program. Is there anyone who has attended or personally know someone who has attended an online FNP program in NC and can comment on the reputation or whether would recommend the program again?

    I'm a prior NC resident. NC has a very very short list of approved online FNP programs so you will absolutely need to do your research on this. Obviously the state schools in NC that offer online are approved (Duke, ECU, UNC system, etc). The only other ones (last time i checked) was Georgetown, Frontier, UAB, and Capella (i dont know how Capella got on the list but anyway). You can google a list and it is easy to find. I ended up moving out of NC so I could attend a state school in my home state (KY) that is not approved in NC.

    A listing of programs approved by the UNC Board of Governors is available: Approved Degree Programs. The last time I reviewed it, I believe 7 or 8 programs, in addition to the in-state schools, provided an FNP option.

    I was able to read over the ncbon website especially the clinical requirements of outside institutions. The main schools I've been considering are listed and aproved. Simmons, Frontier and Chamberlain. Here's the link for anyone also interested
