Has anyone done this program? I'm looking into it and it seems great but there are hardly any updates reviews. Thanks!

@china4mom I also filed an application today for October 29!?

We will be on the same cohort in case I continued with them. Were you able to lock-in the monthly payment plan?

I hope so . I am trying to get everything they will need so I can officially be enrolled by Aug.1st to lock in that plan. That was a big draw for me and the fact every time I sent an email with questions it was answered within 24 hours. I submitted the online app. I contacted the BSN Program I attended and paid for my transcript to be delivered electronically. They were supposed to check my standing with my state BON today.

2 Hesi first year and 1 the second I believe. But I doubled up for first year so my frame of reference might be off.

They do zilch to help you secure a clinical site. If you have a place in mind not on the list (get list early and reach out to any place near you as many of the places on the list do not actually accept students as they only did at one point bc they knew someone and were added to a general list and be expected to be told no a lot) but if you have a place willing to take you contact office of field experience early and get them added to approved clinical site list.

APA format nothing really over 10 pages most under 8.

Most prompts are fairly inclusive and give a great outline for the papers.

Good luck!

@china4mom I hope we'll both lock-in the monthly payment plan and have all our documents submitted and evaluated before August 1st.

@CANURSE99 Thank you for your feedback. It is really helpful for us newbies

So I am enrolled and they told me they no longer allow students to double up in the first year.

CANURSE999,

If you don’t mind could you please share what the 4 day on campus Lab was like? What do you do for 4 days?

Thank you,

Cate

Mine was two seperate sessions so not sure how they do it now.

It was physical exams (PAP/Rectal) it was suturing, physical assessment, etc.

Do you guys know of other accelerated FNP programs in the same price range as USU. Not being able to take two classes the first year is a bummer. I am looking to finish in less than 2 years. Please and thank you!

So I asked about the pass rates at USU and received this. Is this good enough? Does this program prepare students well for the boards. Would hate to spend so much on a program and not be able to pass the boards.

"We do not have pass rates online as they are constantly changing as students graduate and take the licensure exam. These are our current rates

89.7% of students graduate from the USU FNP program within 2-3 years

90.5% of students pass their licensure exam the first time

100% of students pass their licensure exam the second time".

I think this is all dependent on the student. Are they going to hold your hand? I would say no. Is instruction the best? I would also say no. Problem is that its online with very little teacher interaction, therefore, you are on your own to study and take the quizzes, etc. If you "cheat" your way and just look up answers online, then is it your fault or theirs.

You have to be self disciplined. There are a lot of needless/useless forum posting that is mandatory for your grade (I don't think it adds much value since most just post to meet the requirements). Its up to you to decide if its right for you.

I totally understand this, but I am of the opinion that some valuable information needs to be taught at some point in the program. Its not all dependent on the student otherwise why pay for a degree when we could stay at home and read the textbooks ourselves and pass the boards. There is a reason why some schools have a 100 or 99% pass rate and some lower. The program needs to be structured right.

But like I have stated many times already. This ONLINE course gives you assignments to read, quizzes to do, posts to post, presentations to make. There isn't any online video where the teacher stands there and gives you information. If that is what you are looking for, maybe this (and likely most) online classes are not going to work for you.
