Samuel Merritt online MSN-FNP summer 2015

Published

Is anyone applying or have been accepted into the Samuel Merrit Online FNP for the summer 2015 cohort ? If so, I would like to get a thread to discuss the program and get some support.

I am applying to the Online spring 2017 cohort. Does anyone have any information on how the program is going?

The program has went very well. It's 19 months online and I have absolutely no regrets. I graduate next month. It's a challenging yet very doable program. I feel it is very well organized. I really like the professors as well. They are very friendly and make themselves readily available with comments, concerns or questions. Although it is online, there are many opportunities for success and interaction with faculty and other students via email, web conferences, blog posts, discussion boards and video submissions for assignments. The program is a bit on the expensive side but I feel that I have truly benefitted from the program and to me it was well worth the money. The only downside for me was my clinical experience. I live in a very underserved area which has limited preceptors. I feel that I haven't had the best experience in clinical but it isn't the school's fault. With that said, the clinical coordinator worked very hard to find me preceptors. With a little collaboration with her and a some work on my end, things worked out. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for your feedback NurseTiaPCCN! Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate all the information you have told me! I just had a few more questions! How did you do the lab portion of class? I understand it is supposed to be online but do you have more information on that and how it was done? How did you learn how to do procedures such as suturing or health assessments ? Also in regards to clinicals, were you or your classmates able to do them in hospitals? Thank you very much!

Hi There,

Thank you all so much for your insight. I will be joining the fall 2017 cohort and am looking forward to it. I feel better prepared having read most of the posts. As a thank you, I will continue to monitor this thread myself and will eventually probably post a blog site to help people get a better idea about the program. I am excited and feel very supported moving forward with the process.

Thank you all again and I will keep you posted.

How are you liking the program so far? I recently applied and am waiting to hear back. Hoping to begin in January (2018).
