Texas Woman's Online FNP Program

[caity0218, BSN, RN]

Hey ya'll.

I've been looking into Online FNP programs for Texas Woman's is really catching my eye. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this program and could tell me what it was like for them. I currently only have 18 months of nursing experience but I'm looking into starting in Fall 2020.

Thanks!

There seem to be a lot of posts about the on-campus program... But I haven't seen any for the online version. I am waiting to talk to an advisor but I think I will apply here. If the classes are 13 weeks, looks like only 7 to 10 hours of clinicals per week which is way more manageable then other programs for working students. And the website says the find your clinical preceptors for you! I'll ask more about this when on the phone! Hoping someone from the online programs at TWU responds with some feedback. ?

Does anyone in this program have any information?

Call and talk to them! I ended up accepting a different spot but they were in my top 3. They said about 10 to 15 hours of course work a week which is manageable. There is one 3 day on campus intensive before clinicals start. They find your clinical placement 100%: I only considered schools that provide placement. The last term you can stretch out to 16 weeks to reduce the clinical demands. It just changed to completely online from a hybrid program which may be why you haven’t gotten much response. It’s a popular program in Texas apparently. There are papers, quizzes, tests, blackboard assignments and a group project. Total cost is just over $30k. It’s 8 terms of 13 weeks.

Hi,

you said they were in your top 3 but you decided for another school. What made you make this decision?

I live in Indianapolis so the on campus requirement means airfare. I selected KCU. They aren’t as well known but their format is one class at a time which I personally like even though the classes are abbreviated. Also the Clinicals are after all class work is complete, so only the last two terms vs adding clinicals to coursework over a year or more... so more Hours per week but over a shorter time. It’s just want I think will work best for me.
